This myth, a veritable analogy of the cycle of seasons, is Stephan Thoss’ inspiration. Death and the Maiden is sure to be a meditation on the themes of time, from youth to old age. German expressionism and perpetual movement are hallmarks of this deeply moving ballet. www.grandsballets.com For tickets and information: www.laplacedesarts.com 514-842-2112 or 1-866-842-2112 Les Grands Ballets Pre-Show Talks Beginning an hour before each performance, spectators are invited to pre-show talks.
