Presented with ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ and ‘Pierrot Lunaire’. The jazz-age energy and sophistication of the 1930s rounds off the programme with Kenneth MacMillan’s ‘La Fin du Jour’. A dance tour de force, it drew its inspiration from the distinctive movement and fashion design of the period, the romantic new allure of the aeroplane, the surface brilliance and underlying fragility of a lifestyle soon to disappear in war, and the evocative music of Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major.
