Cinderella and Paquita

Saturday, June 6 - 7:00 PM Sunday, June 7 - 3:00 PM Enjoy the timeless story of Cinderella danced in contemporary style to one of Prokofiev’s most delightful scores! From the Step Sisters’ hilarious antics to the Four Seasons conjuring Cinderella’s gown, a feast for the senses awaits you, featuring our youngest rising stars. Just remember to leave by midnight! Paquita is one of the oldest works in the classical ballet canon, turning 180 years old this year. Visit Napoleonic Spain, where headstrong gypsy dancer Paquita rescues a handsome officer from certain death, learns the truth about her mysterious past, and falls in love along the way. Act II’s wedding is a glittering time capsule of the virtuosity and splendor of classical ballet, preserving the last surviving dances from ballets lost to memory before the invention of film.
