A gripping tableau of shadows and colors, choreographer John Neumeier’s beautifully haunting interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen’s 1837 fairytale follows the tormented mermaid heroine on a journey between the divergent worlds of land and sea - one utterly complex, the other magnificently serene. The production features sets and costumes of the grandest scale and an original score by composer Lera Auerbach.
