I've been going to Smuin Ballet for many years now, and this was one of the best performances in some time. Both Momentum and Requiem were incredible. Momentum was new and original for Smuin guest choreography while sticking to the spirit of the company's blend of modern and classic. Requiem truly touched one's heart in matching the beauty of the music with movement. The Beatles was a fun ending, but had some hits and misses.

This was the best ballet experience I've ever had. The choreography and performances were mesmerizing. Kudos on "Requiem," the work that Smuin Ballet has premiered this season. Absolutely breathtaking!

I've seen Smuin Ballet many times, but this was the best yet! My husband and I loved the show! The Mozart Requiem piece was fantastic.

Requim was exquisite & brought tears... incredibly intimate and beautiful. Appreciated the light ending with the tribute to the beatles. It was an older crowd, the double dating seniors behind me kept gasping at the moves and needed a few "shush"-ings.

Description

  • Momentum: Choo San Goh, Choreographer
  • Mozart's Requiem - World Premiere: Amy Seiwert, Choreographer
  • To The Beatles: Michael Smuin, Choreographer
The Spring program features the romantic ballet Momentum by the internationally celebrated choreographer Choo San Goh. Set to a Prokofiev piano concerto both lush and bold, Momentum is renowned for its clean, sculptural lines and streamlined partnering. Smuin also presents a world premiere by Choreographer in Residence Amy Seiwert set to the haunting, powerful music of Mozart’s Requiem. A former dancer with Smuin Ballet, Amy Seiwert has won numerous awards and critical accolades. The San Francisco Bay Guardian says, “[Seiwert] has one of the Bay Area’s most intriguing voices… fresh, mysterious, and mesmerizing.”

Rounding out the bill is To The Beatles, a hip, entertaining celebration of the most influential group in the history of rock’n’roll. Originally created in 1984 by Michael Smuin, the piece is set to Beatles hits such as “Help,” “Day Tripper,” “Sgt. Pepper,” and “Come Together” and highlights the charm, the warmth and the wit of the boys from Liverpool.
