Opus Number: 122
Music: Richard Strauss after François Couperin
Costumes: Santo Loquasto
Lighting: Jennifer Tipton
Date First Performed: July 5, 2005
Notes: “So Spring-like that it might as well have been designed to chase away stormy skies. The 14 dancers, moving in leaps and turns like birds and butterflies hypnotized by Strauss’s romantic music, capture the optimistic and seductive mood of sap rising.” – Alan Riding, The New York Times
