CARDIGAN’S Theatr Mwldan is to broadcast a very special ballet performance live from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden which celebrates the life of composer Leonard Bernstein, featuring an all-Bernstein programme.
Leonard Bernstein was one of the first classical composers in America to achieve both popular and critical acclaim.
He was eclectic in his sources – drawing on jazz and modernism, the traditions of Jewish music and the Broadway musical – and many of Bernstein’s scores are remarkably well suited to dance.
He was particularly associated with Jerome Robbins, their credits together including Fancy Free and West Side Story.
To celebrate the centenary year of the composer’s birth, The Royal Ballet has united all three of its associate choreographers to celebrate the dynamic range and danceability of Bernstein’s music - Wayne McGregor, Liam Scarlett and Christopher Wheeldon.
Tickets for this Royal Opera House screening on Tuesday, March 27 at 7.15pm are £16 (£15) and are available from Theatr Mwldan’s box office on 01239 621200, online at www.mwldan.co.uk or via the Mwldan app.
