11/14/2015 00:00:00 The Winter's Tale Downtown


City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1kuEd1R Renowned British choreographer Christopher Wheeldon has adapted The Winter's Tale, Shakespeare's late romance that combines elements of fairy-tale, comedy, tragedy and fantasy, all of which the ballet embraces with the same inventive staging, astute characterization and precise emotional register for which the choreographer is so admired. Working with Joby Talbot and Bob Crowley, who supplied respectively the music and set and costumes for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , Mr. Wheeldon has created a rich and moving correlative in dance to the original play, a complex and subtle, but always engaging and deeply touching meditation on love, jealousy, the nature of family and the mysteries of art itself.
