The principal casting for Etudes<\/em> by Danish choreographer Harald Lander, Alexei Ratmansky\u2019s Piano Concerto #1<\/em> and the company premiere of Ji\u0159\u00ed Kyli\u00e1n\u2019s Petite Mort<\/em> has been announced.<\/p>\n

Alexei Ratmansky\u2019s Piano Concerto #1<\/em> will feature Principal Dancers Heather Ogden, Harrison James and Naoya Ebe.\u00a0The ballet pays tribute to Dmitri Shostakovich as the final instalment of his Trilogy.<\/p>\n

Ji\u0159\u00ed Kyli\u00e1n\u2019s Petite Mort<\/em> will feature Svetlana Lunkina, Harrison James, Naoya Ebe and First Soloist Jenna Savella in principal roles.\u00a0Reprised from the 1991 Salzburg Festival to mark the second centenary of the death of Mozart, Petite Mort<\/em> includes music from two of Mozart\u2019s most famous piano concertos. Translating as \u201clittle death\u201d, the ballet explores the sexual innuendo in the phrase through a cast of dancers who move and spar with one another.<\/p>\n
