A couple of years ago I read something about Peter Martins and Paul McCartney collaborating on a full length ballet and it caught my interest. Well, Ocean’s Kingdom will premier tomorrow night at the New York City Ballet (NYCB) Fall Gala.
How exciting to have two icons from different art forms working together! In addition, Paul McCartney’s daughter, Stella has designed the costumes for this work. Sir Paul has also released an album which is due out October 2011.
I’m anxious to read the reviews and hear what one of my friends has to say about it (she will be attending the Gala).
Here’s a brief article and a video clip http://www.gigwise.com/news/67147/Paul-McCartney-Previews-Oceans-Kingdom-Ballet—Video
