Three of the world’s leading female choreo-
graphers take Houston Ballet on a spectacular
odyssey of dance with a fall repertory program unlike any other. Julia Adam’s Ketubah was
originally created in Houston. The tale of a
traditional Jewish wedding, the ballet showcases the natural humor and story-telling style of
the affable choreographer. Already a Houston
favorite, acclaimed young Canadian choreo-
grapher Aszure Barton creates a theatrical work specifically for dancers of Houston Ballet.
And the legendary Twyla Tharp demonstrates why she’s recognized as one of the pioneers of contemporary dance with The Brahms-
Haydn Variations, a neoclassical milestone. 7:30 PM • September 20, 22, 28, 29, 2012 2:00 PM • September 23, 30, 2012 4
