aka “Honeybee” if Fionna desperately wanted her village’s approval, Hilda was the local cryptid and I was already good at writing dramatic stories (I will, working on it, working on it)

The Dante Project, the award-winning ballet by choreographer Wayne McGregor, composer Thomas Adès, and visual artist Tacita Dean, returns to London's Royal Opera House, where it was first performed in 2021, for eight performances by the Royal Ballet, from this Saturday through December 2. You can get tickets here.

Adès's music, Dante, was performed by Los Angeles Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel at Walt Disney Concert Hall in 2022, the Nonesuch recording of which was just nominated for three Grammy Awards: Best Contemporary Classical Composition, Best Orchestral Performance, and, for the album's producer, Dmitriy Lipay, Producer of the Year, Classical. You can get it and hear it here.

“In any new shortlist of great ballet scores by Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Bartók, Ravel, Prokofiev, Britten, and Bernstein, Dante must newly be included for its musical invention alone,” exclaims the Los Angeles Times. “There is not a second in its 88 minutes that doesn’t delight. All of it is unexpected and wanted.” The collectable limited vinyl two-LP edition of Dante includes artwork by Dean and photography from the Royal Ballet’s performance.
