The KIROV BALLET, one of the world's most renowned ballet companies performs the beloved, family holiday classic The Nutcracker, accompanied by live orchestra. This fairy tale ballet, choreographed in 1934 by Vasily Vainonen, is filled with wonderment and child-like delight and will be dazzled audiences for 6 performances only.
"The Kirov's dancers have seemingly flawless technique and execution. They look powerful, commanding and beautiful. I would go back to see The Kirov in a heartbeat... I do believe The Kirov [performing The Nutcracker] have made a believer out of me."

Romeo and Juliet
American Ballet Theatre
America's National Ballet Company©
Kevin McKenzie, Artistic Director
June 16 - 19, 2009
Dorothy Chandler Pavilion
|
Sir Kenneth MacMillan's masterful interpretation of Shakespeare's enduring romantic tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, entered AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE'S repertoire in 1985 and has since become one of the Company's signature productions. Against the sumptuous setting of Renaissance Italy, MacMillan weaves a dance tapestry rich in character nuance and sensuality, and Sergei Prokofiev's stirring music underscores the lyric beauty and passion of this beloved ballet's star-crossed lovers.
"To see full-evening productions of "Romeo and Juliet" is to experience something akin to the first few forays into young love... The sheer sweep of costumes, the sets, the scenario and the famous Prokofiev score is overwhelming."
- New York Times
