Boston Ballet presents Next
Generation: a showcase and celebration of the next
generation of choreographic talents. Four ballets, including three
world premieres, highlight some of today’s most exciting
young choreographers.
Resident Choreographer Jorma Elo, whose most
recent piece for Boston Ballet, Brake the Eyes, was hailed
as “another major work” in The Boston Globe,
returns with his fifth world premiere for the Company. Helen
Pickett, whose Etesian was a hit of the 2005–2006 season,
will choreograph her second work for Boston Ballet. And Boston
Ballet’s own Heather Myers, whose gift for choreography was
evident in Boston Ballet’s 2006 Choreography Workshop, will
create her first ballet for a major dance company. Completing the
program is the American premiere of Ein von Veil by
Sabrina Matthews, who has already received critical acclaim in
Germany and her native Canada.
