The Four Temperaments: Choreography by George Balanchine (Music: Hindemith) Carmina Burana: Choreography by Matthew Neenan, Choreographer in Residence (Music: Orff) The stunning simplicity and angular architecture of The Four Temperaments became the standard for Balanchine works. The work is an abstraction of ancient doctrines that enumerated the four aspects of a person's disposition. A thunderous score and innovative choreography punctuate Matthew Neenan's fiery Carmina Burana, which premiered to sold out audiences in 2007 when The Philadelphia Inquirer declared it "simply scintillating… steamy and explosive…a triumph." Neenan fuses the power of Carl Orff's classic work with his eruptive movement and existential sets.
