Alessandra Ferri & Craigh Hall in "After the rain" pas de deux by Christopher Wheeldon (Arvo Pärt)

"After the Rain" is a ballet choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon on New York City Ballet to music of Arvo Pärt, including Tabula Rasa (first movement, Ludus) and Spiegel im Spiegel. The ballet premiered on January 2005 at the New York State Theater, Lincoln Center. The final pas de deux (to Pärt's Spiegel im Spiegel) is commonly performed separately from the remainder of the ballet.
This excerpt dates back to 2014 and was filmed in Florence, at Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. Conductor: Zubin Mehta.

When will videographers LEARN to just show the whole dang dancer the WHOLE time!

The combination of Alessandra Ferri and Christopher Wheeldon is nothing short of sheer divinity! I never get tired of watching her dance. She will always be my favorite Juliet♥️

The camera absolutely ruins this, I can't enjoy it because of it.

[@Jayjen35]

Ah! Craig Hall is such a beautiful dancer!

[@FridaCrescencia]

So beautiful. Alessandra Ferri is such a magical dancer. Watching her dance this piece, it felt like seeing it for the first time ❤

[@charlesTBear]

This is so right for Alessandra. I don’t think anyone will take her place in my eyes. Craig is just perfect for her as well. Beautiful

The camerawork on this is killing me. Those closeups. Ugh.

[@allthingsballet]

I know, it is terrible. TV direction is by Patrizia Carmine

This is of incredible beauty

[@hasnahgrundy7368]

The title is so apt, such sensitive expression to natures creativity, as if watching Lily of the Valley grow in slower motion ,to catch the scent , and know she made it. Thank you so very much, daring bare beauty.

Grande fluidità in questo balletto che predilige la scelta di accattivanti positure figurali realizzate attraverso una motilità corporea praesens e con accordi d'ensemble efficaci.Molto bravi. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO

[@allthingsballet]

As soon as the camera closed up on their arms, I am out. I want to see the whole dance, not scattered bits some one thinks I should see that somehow will make the dance more interesting. The camera ruins choreography.
