The Sarasota Ballet does not do a “Nutcracker”—they leave that to their associate school. Instead, over the weekend, the company offered a triple bill of which just one ballet, Frederick Ashton’s winter-themed “Les Patineurs,” nodded at the season. (Though, it must be said, there are no snowflakes in Sarasota.) The pièce de resistance of the evening was a new ballet by David Bintley, former director of the Birmingham Royal Ballet. “The Spider’s Feast” is his second new work for the company (there are two others in the rep), after creating his largely successful “Comedy of Errors” here in 2022. In fact, “Spider’s Feast” was supposed to come first, in 2020, but had to be postponed because of the pandemic. Now it’s finally here.
