Matthew Passion with music director James Conlon conducting the singers and orchestra. With the LA Opera, Hamburg Ballet dancers fill the stage to tackle J.S.
The 1998 work drew on Neumeier’s friendship with Bernstein and is dedicated to the composer. That ballet offers familiar hits from composer Leonard Bernstein’s like Westside Story and Candide along with less familiar compositions to consider how the music reflects the composer’s life and charisma. The choreographer and 60 Hamburg Ballet dancers arrive for three weeks of performances, some with the LA Opera and some shows on their own. Neumeier’s Bernstein Dances is presented as part of the Music Center’s Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance series with a live orchestra conducted by Garrett Keast.
Hamburg Ballet has visited SoCal before but this marks the company’s debut at the Music Center.
