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.
