The program includes music by two acclaimed Finnish composers, Esa-Pekka Salonen and Jean Sibelius, and will open with an orchestral performance of Sibelius’ masterpiece Finlandia.

Obsidian Tear runs Nov 3–12, 2017, at the Boston Opera House.

Obsidian Tear is Boston Ballet’s first co-production with The Royal Ballet.

McGregor, The Royal Ballet’s resident choreographer, is world-renowned for his highly inventive, dynamic choreography and multidisciplinary collaborations.

He designed the sets and asked Katie Shillingford, fashion editor for AnOther Magazine, to curate the clothing worn by the dancers—the first time a ballet has been “styled” instead of “costumed.” His ballet Chroma was performed in 2013 and 2015 to rave reviews.

The program concludes with Fifth Symphony of Jean Sibelius, a world premiere by Resident Choreographer Jorma Elo set to the famed Finnish composer’s majestic score.

Fifth Symphony of Jean Sibelius marks the first time Elo couples an entire symphonic piece with the full Company to create a stunning experience of sight and sound.
