The 4 Seasons Ballet in Amsterdam

This one-act allegorical ballet, set to Alexander Glazunov's Op. 67, takes audiences through winter, spring, summer, and autumn with vivid choreography and orchestral color. Originally premiered in 1900 at St. Petersburg's Imperial Theatre of the Hermitage, the work features scenes of frost and snowflakes, flower fairies and zephyrs, cornflowers and poppies, and a grand bacchanale of the seasons.

Attendees can expect a visually rich performance that brings each season to life through dance and music, from the icy tableau of winter to the starry apotheosis. The ballet's narrative follows the spirits of nature—including Hoar-frost, Ice, Hail, Snow, Spring, Zephyr, and the Spirit of the Corn—in a series of vignettes.

This Amsterdam staging offers a chance to experience a classic of the Imperial Russian Ballet repertory, performed by Les 4 Saisons. The production captures the elegance and grandeur of Petipa's original vision.
