A ballet by Peter Martins set to John Adams’s 1985 concert piece, originally written for the opera Nixon in China. The music accompanies a scene in which Mao Zedong dances with his future bride, film star Chiang Ch’ing.
Balanchine’s celebration of British musical traditions uses Scottish military tattoos and folk-dance forms, hornpipes, sea songs, work chants, jigs, and music-hall songs. At the finale, the ensemble spells “God Save the Queen” in semaphore as the Union Jack unfurls.
