in the middle, somewhat elevated

A program of contemporary choreography, two New Works Festival ballets make their encore: Stanton Welch’s Naked—a classically inspired take on contemporary ballet and Val Caniparoli’s dramatic snapshots of heroines in Ibsen’s House. And finally, William Forsythe’s cutting-edge tour de force in the middle, somewhat elevated returns to the Opera House.
