Anticipation is in the air, as Hong Kong Ballet (HKB) celebrates love and passion with its Latin-flavoured gala programme Amor y Pasión, brimming with breathtaking classical and contemporary pieces. Presented by HKB at the 50th Hong Kong Arts Festival, HKB will delight audiences with this electrifying production during 4 – 6 March at Hong Kong Cultural Centre’s Grand Theatre.
Septime Webre’s highly anticipated Hong Kong premiere of Juanita y Alicia features technically challenging, soulful choreography inspired by Webre’s maternal family growing up in colourful 1920s Havana with lively traditional Cuban music by the Buena Vista Social Club. A second inspiring Webre piece Second Movement, set to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, brings together two stunning dancers in an epic duet.
Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s riveting Sombrerisimo returns with its six blazing male leads, their iconic bowler hats and unforgettable choreography. Additionally, the pas de deux from Balanchine’s Rubies will mesmerise audiences with its energetic speed and bold red costumes reflecting modern America’s drive and passion, while a sizzling pas de deux from Don Quixote requires the dancers to tackle some of the most technically demanding choreography in classical ballet with gravity-defying jetes and fearless lifts. Finally, a thrilling pas de deux from Flames of Paris and a stirring Swan Lake suite, including the iconic White Swan Pas de Deux, will round out the exhilarating programme.
