Voices Of Spring

Ballet set to the Frühlingsstimmen waltz (1883) by Johann Strauss II.

"Frederick Ashton created the piece for The Royal Opera's 1977 production of Strauss's Die Fledermaus, where it replaced one of the score's original numbers in the second-act ball scene. The piece was renamed Voices of Spring and given its first performance independent from the operetta in a gala in Los Angeles the following year. A ballerina and her partner follow the swirling melodies of Johann Strauss II's Frühlingsstimmen waltz with show-stopping choreography."
