It is performed by the Hong Kong Ballet. The music in the performance are all written by Tchaikoske. There are totally five shows in the performance: Theme and Variations, Grand Pas de Deux from The Sleeping Beauty, Pas de Quatre from Swan Lake Act 1, Tchaikosky Pas de Deux and The Way Alone.
Theme and Variations and Tchaikosky Pas de Deux are both created by George Balanchine who is a tenlent choreographer and is regarded as the foremost contemporary choreographer in the world. May be that is why I like these two shows in the performance the most.
In my opinion, the Grand Pas de Deux from The Sleeping Beauty is fair. Also, I think the set can have an improvement. May be this is because it is not a real ballet with story and there are different theme.
John Meehan, the artistic director of the Hong Kong Ballet created Pas de Quatre from Swan Lake Act 1 by himself. However, it is different from the traditional pas de trois in Act 1 of Swan Lake, there is another dancing role for a male added. So, it becomes pas de quatre. I love the music as it is lilting Andante and the partnering steps are also good.
Finally, is The Way Alone. Personally, I don't like this act much. The ballet begins and ends with choral music giving it a slightly sacred feel and attracting me. But I think the middle part is a bit boring and I cannot get what is it talking about.
