The 4 Seasons - Ballet in Ghent

This one-act allegorical ballet, originally choreographed by Marius Petipa to Alexander Glazunov's Op. 67, brings the changing seasons to life through dance. First performed in 1900 at St. Petersburg's Imperial Theatre of the Hermitage, the work follows Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn in a series of vivid tableaux.

Attendees can expect a performance by Les 4 Saisons, with scenes ranging from a winter landscape with frost and snowflakes to a spring garden of flowers and Zephyr, a summer field of cornflowers and poppies, and an autumn bacchanale. The ballet culminates in an apotheosis of sparkling constellations.

This production offers a chance to experience a classic of the Imperial Russian Ballet repertory, with its rich orchestration and Petipa's choreographic storytelling. The evening promises a journey through nature's cycle, from icy frost to harvest revelry.
