WEDNESDAY MARCH 4, 2009  
 
Houston Ballet is pleased to introduce Masters of Movement. Three important works, in repertoire, of masterful works by master choreographers.

The Leaves are Fading (1975) is a lyrical study in wistful dreaminess by famed English choreographer Antony Tudor. The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude (1996) is all Forsythe, a sexy and energetic work that fully lives up to its name. Jiri Kylian's Soldiers' Mass (1980) is a poignant commentary on the destruction and devastation of war. This is a program not to be missed.

All three works are Houston Ballet Premieres.
