2013-2014 SCHEDULE

SWAN LAKE | September 13 at 11:00 a.m.
All Ages

Choreography and staging by Bruce Simpson after Marius Petipa and Nicholas Berisov
Music by Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

An evil sorcerer casts a horrific spell on Princess Odette transforming her into a swan every evening at midnight, an enchantment that may forever prevent her from being united with her true love. A story of romance, sorcery and betrayal and centered on one of life’s most recognizable themes – good triumphing over evil. The most popular classical ballet of all time, Swan Lake embodies all the beauty, strength, and grace of classical ballet.

ADD ON A DEMONSTRATION CLASS: For $115 per classroom, we’ll come to your school prior to your field trip for Swan Lake and teach your students ballet steps that they will see at the performance. They’ll learn a history of classical ballet, French terms, and have a greater appreciation for ballet after trying it out themselves. (pricing is for 50 students)

LA SYLPHIDE | February 21 at 11:00 a.m.
All Ages

Choreography by Auguste Bournonville and staged by the Louisville Ballet Artistic Staff
Music by Hermann Løvenskjold

La Slyphide’s human realm of a small Scottish community meets the spiritual realm of the enchanted forest. A winged sylph (fairy) uses her magical charms to lure James away from his fiancée and through an ethereal and blissful world in pursuit of true but unattainable happiness. The first of the major Romantic ballets, La Sylphide holds true to the ideas of the time floating between the extremes of love and loss.
