Leap — and whirl and plié — into summer with an archival performance of Merce Cunningham’s “Summerspace” by the Lyon Opera Ballet. “Cunningham hadn’t set out to evoke nature,” The Times’s Alastair Macaulay once wrote of the 1958 dance. “When first conceiving ‘Summerspace,’ even before titling it, he began to imagine a dance in the round. He proceeded by studying the different trajectories dancers might make from the six various wings.”
