Villa-Lobos wrote his ballet score based on Eugene O'Neill's play The Emperor Jones for José Limón’s dance company in 1956. The Fundación de Danza José Limón is in the process of evaluating entrants to a design competition for a new production to be directed by Clay Taliaferro. The new version of The Emperor Jones will be presented in Culiacán, México in April/May 2011, and in New York in June. This looks like it will be one of the major Villa-Lobos events of 2011.
