DANCE

Bella Figura features an extraordinary collection of works by three of the world’s most exciting contemporary choreographers whose careers have overlapped in ways both influential and noteworthy.

The program begins with William Forsythe’s The Second Detail, a company and U.S. premiere, which is an electrifying combination of classicism and jazz for an ensemble. Forsythe, one of the preeminent American dancers and choreographers, has created ground-breaking, exhilarating works which have been performed by the world’s finest ballet companies.

Since 1963, Boston Ballet has been one of the leading dance companies in the world on stage, in the studio and in the community. The Company maintains an internationally acclaimed repertoire and the largest ballet school in North America, Boston Ballet School.

Boston Ballet maintains a repertoire of classical, neo-classical and contemporary works, ranging from full-length story ballets to new works by some of today's finest choreographers.
