The Four Temperaments, choreographed in 1946, is a ballet divided into themes: Melancholic, Sanguinic, Phlegmatic and Choleric. The Four Temperaments features Balanchine’s signature invention, a fusion of traditional and contemporary movement, which would become a new language in dance. In summer 2007, Boston Ballet toured The Four Temperaments before international audiences in Spain receiving critical acclaim.
