Alonzo King Lines Ballet & Peter Sellars tickets

Ravel’s enchanting Mother Goose characters come to vivid life thanks to Alonzo King’s inventive choreography and the dancers of LINES Ballet. Schoenberg described his monodrama Erwartung as a nightmare, a moment of psychological trauma enacted in slow motion. As The Woman, soprano Mary Elizabeth Williams leaps and plunges between emotional extremes: hopeful and terrified, enraged and miserable. Peter Sellars’s electrifying new staging mirrors her shifting moods.
