Australian Ballet’s
JEROME ROBBINS – a celebration
Opera Theatre, Sydney Opera House
30 April – 19 May
www.australianballet.com.au
Jerome Robbins is perhaps best known for his choreography and co-direction of the massively influential film West Side Story.
But Robbins was also an enormously successful choreographer for theatre and ballet during his lifetime, and his works continue to be performed around the world ten years after his death. This programme salutes Robbins by presenting very different sides to his imagination, ranging from the intriguingly dark to the laugh-out-loud funny.
