| Born in New York, son of Leonide Massine, Lorca Massine has studied and collaborated with the greatest choreographers of our time: Balanchine, Bejart, and Leonide Massine. He has inherited his father's penchant for story ballets and combined this with his extraordinary ability of illustrating contemporary themes in dance using the classical idiom. He has choreographed more than fifty ballets and musical productions. Among these works are Mario and the Magician, Metamorphosis, Four Last Songs, Esoterik Satie, Ondine, Sebastian, Fortepianissimo, Streets the Musical, and Zorba. The original version of Zorba,which premiered at the Arena of Verona, has been seen in more than thirty countries by over three million enthusiastic spectators. Massine's undertaking of the APASSIONATA-Ovations Tour, an equine choreographic extravaganza, set new standards! His works have been in the repertoires of internationally acclaimed companies such as New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theater, the Royal Ballet (London), Bejart's Ballet of the Twentieth Century, the Paris Opera Ballet, and LaScala and have graced the stages of international opera houses from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York to Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Teatro la Fenice in Venice, Teatro San Carlo in Naples, Teatro Carlo San Felice in Genoa, Teatro Massimo in Palermo, the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden in London, and the Arena di Verona. Lorca Massine is also the heir to Leonide Massine's vast heritage. His stagings of his father's ballets have been performed at the Paris Opera, American Ballet Theater, the Joffrey Ballet, The Royal Ballet(London), the Dutch National Ballet, and on 14 April 2005, three works of Leonide Massine entered the repertoire of the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow. |
