Ecstatic Orange

Ecstatic Orange

"Ecstatic Orange" is a ballet made by New York City Ballet balletmaster (subsequently balletmaster in chief) Peter Martins to Michael Torke's "Verdant Music" (1985), "Purple" (1987) and "Ecstatic Orange" (1985) for City Ballet's American Music Festival; the second movement, "Purple", was to a score commissioned for the occasion. The premiere of the expanded version took place on June 13, 1987, at the New York State Theater, Lincoln Center with lighting by Mark Stanley (an earlier version appeared in January of that year.) "Ecstatic Orange" was the first in a series of collaborations between the choreographer and composer.
