Ms. Ogden dances in Balanchine’s Mozartiana
Ms. Ogden will be dancing in NBoC’s production of the beautiful Balanchine ballet Mozartiana this month:
June 16 at 2:00 pm and June 17 at 7:30 pm with Brett van Sickle and on June 18 at 7:30 pm and 19 at 2:00 pm with Guillaume Côté.
Although the piece is named for Mozart, the music is by Tchaikovsky. NBoC’s webpage for this work tells us:
“Mozartiana, a late work from 1981 (revised from an earlier version made in 1933) differs from his other Tchaikovsky-inspired ballets in that it is also a response to Mozart. The audience gets the best of both worlds. Its crisp, classical elegance and sprightliness suggests the Viennese master; its Russian seriousness grounds it in a voluptuous emotion.”
Mozartiana appears on a mixed bill with Other Dances and In the Upper Room. Tickets and other information are available here.
