Dances at a Gathering - The Cellist
The Royal Ballet
Ballet
This Christopher Bruce ballet is set to Janáček's String Quartet No.2. The composer wrote this piece in 1928, the last year of his life, inspired by his unconsummated love for a young married woman he had met in 1917 and to whom he wrote over six hundred letters. Bruce's lyrical work expresses both the joy and the anguish that are present in Janáček's music.
