Jacob’s Pillow, Becket, MA
June 20-24, 2018
Revered as the world’s third oldest ballet company, the
Royal Danish Ballet returns to Jacob’s Pillow for the first time in over a
decade to open Festival 2018 in the Ted Shawn Theatre.
Praised as “a master class in style” (The Guardian), leading
principals and soloists perform a program of pas de deux, imbued with a rich
Danish-Pillow history which dates back to company’s U.S. debut of the first
group of soloists in 1955.
