How Liam Scarlett created The Age of Anxiety for The Royal Ballet 

Royal Ballet Artist in Residence Liam Scarlett discusses how Leonard Bernstein’s music and W.H. Auden’s poetry influenced him in creating his ballet The Age of Anxiety, which forms part of The Royal Ballet’s Bernstein Centenary celebration.

Leonard Bernstein was one of the first classical composers in America to achieve both popular and critical acclaim. He was eclectic in his sources – drawing on jazz and modernism, the traditions of Jewish music and the Broadway musical – and many of Bernstein’s scores are remarkably well suited to dance. He was particularly associated with Jerome Robbins, their credits together including Fancy Free and West Side Story. To celebrate the centenary year of the composer’s birth, The Royal Ballet has united all three of its associate choreographers to celebrate the dynamic range and danceability of Bernstein’s music.
