Rich and vibrant, Helgi's Prism has been referred to as 'classical perfection', as it takes the audience through a spectacular three movements, with the exuberant finale showing the talents of the male dancers. Ambitious and enchanting, Prism is full of warmth and togetherness.
Choreography: Helgi Tomasson
Music: Beethoven
Seven Sonatas
American Ballet Theatre's Artist in Residence explores the shape made by the dancers in this elegant work, as the couples seem to converse in their steps. Charming and gogorgeous, Seven Sonta will seduce with soft lines and unusual shapes.

Rush
An early piece from Wheeldon, Rush was first seen in 2000. Famed for a freshness, it attempts to recreate the California sun and sea that influenced composer Martinu. Clean, crisp lines evoke a welcome breeze in this elegant ballet from one of dance's biggest names.
