In the ballet, the straw and sawdust puppet Petrouchka comes to life along with the ballerina and the Moor \u2013 with the ensuing love and heartache.<\/p>\n<p>Working with the talented young dancers of the Batsheva Ensemble, Sharon Eyal has created her first choreography to an existing musical work, using the libretto written by Alexandre Benois and Igor Stravinsky as a launching point for her personal, more abstract response to the piece. Eyal\u2019s choreography has always been distinguished by a wonderful sense of space, in this instance; she is working with a larger stage as well as a \u201ccast\u201d that includes the orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>The evening\u2019s program features soloist violinist Leonides Kavakos and includes:<br \/>\nAvner Dorman\u00a0 Azerbaijani Dance<br \/>\nMussorgsky\u00a0 Prelude to Khovanschina<br \/>\nProkofiev Violin Concerto no. 2<br \/>\nStravinsky Petrouchka<\/p>\n<p>Performances:<br \/>\nMann Auditorium<br \/>\n1 Huberman Street, Tel Aviv, 03-6211777<br \/>\nOctober 7, 9 &amp; 10 at 20:30, October 8 at 14:00<\/p>\n<p>Haifa Auditorium<br \/>\nRappaport Hall, 142 HaNassi Street, Haifa, 04-8101558<br \/>\nOctober 11 &amp; 12 at 20:30<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Israeli Philharmonic opened the concert season in Jerusalem last night with their first collaboration with the Batsheva Dance Company: Stravinsky\u2019s Petrouchka.
