Rhapsody

About

Rhapsody pas de deux is a ballet work choreographed by Frederick Ashton and set to music by Sergei Rachmaninoff. The source identifies the musical material as Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. The production credits William Chappell for costumes and Brad Fields for lighting. No director, revival stager, set designer, or other production credit is listed in the supplied event materials. The work was created in 1980 for The Royal Ballet and was choreographed for Mikhail Baryshnikov and Lesley Collier. These names describe the historical choreographic cast, not the announced cast for the 2027 performances. No current 2027 cast is published on the primary event page, the official repertory page, the Spring Season page, or the four date-specific pages. The event is therefore recorded with current cast as not specified rather than assigning the historical original cast or the performers named in the event photograph.
