Important Update:

Due to concerns about the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak, New York City Ballet has decided to limit its international travel and will no longer perform at Sadler's Wells from Thursday 19 to Saturday 21 March. The company was due to perform Rotunda, a new work by choreographer Justin Peck, as part of Nico Muhly: Drawn Lines, a programme of work set to the music of the contemporary composer.

 

Performances of Drawn Lines will go ahead at Sadler’s Wells as scheduled and will still feature works by choreographers Michael Keegan-Dolan and Julie Cunningham. These will now take place alongside a revival of Flutter, featuring ballet star Natalia Osipova, choregraphed by Iván Pérez. Set to Mothertongue composed by Nico Muhly, Flutter was originally seen as part of Natalia Osipova - Pure Dance at Sadler’s Wells in autumn 2018.

 

Nico Muhly’s pioneering music, played live by Britten Sinfonia, is the subject of this new triple bill from Julie Cunningham, Michael Keegan-Dolan and Justin Peck.

Inspired by murder ballad The Two Sisters, Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Keegan-Dolan interprets dark folk-song arrangement The Only Tune, sung live by Sam Amidon.

Cunningham selects Drones, a reflection on the subtle and constant noise in most dwelling places. 

Sadler’s Wells’ Composer Series partners contemporary composer’s music with exceptional contemporary choreographers to create new works.

Music: Live with small orchestra (Britten Sinfonia)
