The Dutch National Ballet planned to open its 2022-23 season with a program called “Celebrate!” But then it looked east to Ukraine and thought, Celebrate what? The opening program is now called “Shadows” and it includes the undisputed dance masterpiece The Green Table, an eloquent yet unflinching indictment of war and it horrors. Choreographed in 1932 by Kurt Jooss, the work brings classical technique, mime, and symbolism to an expressionistic crescendo, presenting diplomacy and destruction in their eternal dance. If you’ve never seen The Green Table, now is the time. Also on the program, the Dutch premiere of Wayne McGregor’s Yugen (Japanese for “sublime beauty”). It’s set to Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms and has a set designed by the sublime ceramicist Edmund de Waal. The program opens with Regnum, a world premiere by the Ukrainian-Dutch choreographer Milena Sidorova, who’s chosen to work with Mozart’s Symphony No. 25. —Laura Jacobs
