    Event details

    One of ballet’s greatest stars, with a storied career at New York City Ballet and a massive presence online where she inspires young ballerinas and wows balletomanes, Tiler Peck is at the height of her powers. She now strikes out to create her own original work that the London Press calls, “breathtaking,” “dazzling,” and “exhilarating.” Peck is joined by an eclectic line-up of dancers and choreographers including fellow NYCB dancers and the reigning diva of tap dance, Michelle Dorrance.

    Alexei Ratmansky’s new ballet, “Solitude,” which recently premièred at New York City Ballet, begins with a devastating image: a father holding his dead son’s hand. The dance is dedicated to “the children of Ukraine, victims of war,” and Ratmansky has said that this image comes from a photograph of a father in Kharkiv sitting on the ground at a bus stop with his child, killed in a Russian air strike.
