Three Ballets by Kenneth MacMillan Elite Syncopations (1974) Music: Scott Joplin and others The Judas Tree (1992) Music: Brian Elias Concerto (1966) Music: Shostakovich Piano Concerto No. 2 Featuring Artists of the Royal Ballet with the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House Kenneth MacMillan’s versatility is celebrated here in three very different ballets: the humorous romp Elite Syncopations, set to the easy-going rhythms of ragtime, is in stark contrast to The Judas Tree, that depicts the horrific fate of a woman at the hands of 13 men. Concerto, danced to the Shostakovich Piano Concerto No. 2, is an abstract work of beauty, exuberance, and reflection. 114 minutes, first Blu-ray release 2010
