Louisville Ballet is thrilled to announce our move to an entirely digital stage for our 2020 / 2021 Season of Illumination!
We are on a journey, seeking ways to bring dance, art and performance into the future. Through our partnership with KERTIS Creative, we will create ballet art film productions, performed and filmed from inside Louisville Ballet’s Main Street studio building. Productions will range from locally-inspired new works to internationally recognized classics, all innovatively and cinematically filmed.
A Season of Illumination membership gets your entire household access to this season’s performances as well as special perks and behind-the-scenes experiences from your own home.
Purchase our full-access, digital Season of Illumination Membership for $175 each.
Kentucky! Volume 1
*November 20 preview / access for Season Members only

The first of a three-part ballet cycle, Kentucky! Vol.1 weaves together the past and present story of the Commonwealth. Rooted in history, and leaning towards the romantic, this cinematic production explores human connection and resilience through the lens of Kentucky.
The Brown-Forman Nutcracker
*December 6 preview / access for Season Members only
December 7 – 15
Embrace the magic of the season with our holiday classic, now on-demand! Filmed on stage live during our 2019 season for rebroadcast on Christmas Day, this uniquely Louisville telling of the classic story of Marie and her journey with her Nutcracker prince is a festive fairy tale for both the young and young at heart. Filled with magic, artistry and awe-inspiring sets and costumes, it will transport you to a wonderland where dreams come true, now from the comfort of home.
More exciting productions to come. Performance announcements will be made a minimum of 4 weeks prior to a showing.
The Witch’s Carnival
For Season Members only, October 30 – November 1.
This family-friendly ballet, designed for children 10 years and younger, takes us on an adventure inspired by The Last Unicorn, a novel by Peter S. Beagle. Follow and dance along as a magical unicorn finds herself an unwitting participant in a carnival run by an evil witch. Don’t worry! All is well in the end.
Each online Season of Illumination ballet art film will be announced four to six weeks before they will be available for online viewing. All Season Members will have pre-paid access to each production as well as special perks and behind-the-scenes virtual experiences.
