IGOR ANTONOV TRIBUTE

A performance to honor Richmond Ballet Resident Artist Igor Antonov as he retires from dancing, this tribute performance features highlights from his career. “I have loved dancing Balanchine’s choreography,” Antonov says. “His musicality is perfection and his choreography, as a result, is such a beautiful challenge.” Who Cares?, the epitome of the Balanchine style that became so characteristically American, celebrates New York City in all its excitement and glory, all to the cheery and familiar tunes of George Gershwin. The additional excerpts celebrate other memorable moments from an over twenty year association of this charismatic dancer with Richmond Ballet.
