NYCB Vol. 3 No. 36 - The Four Seasons - Summer

When I watched this ballet in 2018, it was one of the first times I noticed the major importance of lighting. Jennifer Tipton’s lighting for this ballet is intrinsic to making the audience feel immersed in each season. You can feel the humidity of summer with her lighting.
