A program distinguished by its variety opens with Balanchine’s Divertimento from ‘Le Baiser de la Fée,’ choreographed to a Stravinsky symphonic suite. Kyle Abraham’s When We Fell was originally filmed and streamed during the pandemic, and here makes its live debut. Lynne Taylor-Corbett’s Chiaroscuro, a ballet for six dancers from 1994, evokes the artistic term of its title through the interaction of light and shadow as well as diverging tempos, while Alexei Ratmansky’s Odesa features three couples, their interplay infused with hints of drama, and a corps de ballet, and is set to incidental music from the Russian film Sketches to Sunset that alternates between the ruminative and the rambunctious.

The Spring Season opens with a playful and unique interpretation of Maurice Ravel’s “Boléro”, choreographed by the imaginative Lynne Taylor-Corbett. A “perfect” couple prepares for a “perfect” day at the beach. 

“The elements conspire against them to ruin their day,” Taylor-Corbett explains. “It’s just a pure, unadulterated fantasy.” 

Included in this program is a new ballet from Amy Hall Garner.

Just in time for the spookiest time of year, Dracula is a captivating adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic Gothic novel, brought to life through two time Tony Award nominated Lynne Taylor-Corbett's mesmerizing choreography and haunting music performed live by members of the Cleveland Pops Orchestra. Paired with Edgar Allan Poe's The Masque of the Red Death, you don't want to miss this perfectly sinister show.

Dracula tells the story of the enigmatic count who preys upon the living to sustain his immortal existence. As Dracula sets his sights on the innocent Mina Murray, her fiancé and a group of determined vampire hunters embark on a perilous quest to stop him.

The Masque of the Red Death follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid the Red Death plague by hiding in his abbey where he hosts a masquerade ball in seven rooms.
