''Robin Hood'' is a ballet created by choreographer and artistic director
Paul Vasterling for the
Nashville Ballet
Nashville Ballet is a professional ballet company in Tennessee. Founded in 1986 and based in Nashville, Tennessee, it presents a repertoire of classic and contemporary works by a variety of choreographers, including Artistic Director Paul Vasterli ...
in 1998.
The full-length ballet is in two acts and contains the music of
Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Although Korngold wrote music to the 1938 movie ''
The Adventures of Robin Hood'', no music from the film is used in the ballet. Korngold’s early chamber music is used, as well as his Theme and Variations, Op. 42, and movements from both his
Symphony in F-sharp major and
Violin Concerto. The suite ''Much Ado About Nothing'' is used extensively in both acts and concludes the ballet.
