French Masters of the 20th Century

This program captures the excitement of French ballet in the 20th century, including Suite en Blanc by Serge Lifar, a choreographer whose roots go back to the Ballet Russe; L’Arlesienne by Roland Petit, who defined the contemporary French style in the 1950s; and Boléro by Maurice Bejart, who brought the spirit of rebellion to the explosive 1960s.
