Cinderella is a fairy tale filled with charm, humor, and the triumph of love, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, dreams can shape new realities. At the heart of this story is a young woman who meets cruelty with grace and hardship with hope, never losing sight of the possibility that life can change for the better.

In Toni Pimble’s ballet version, the fairy godmother and fairies of the four seasons guide a magical transformation that leads to the royal ball. Their presence weaves the rhythms of nature into Cinderella’s journey, adding depth and wonder to her path toward love and freedom. The production features stunning costumes, captivating sets, and exceptional dancing that showcases the strength and artistry of the performers, reminding us all that dreams can indeed come true.

In Petrushka: An AI Ballet, Suzanne Haag reimagines the 1911 tale in a futuristic world where robots dance and emotions run deep. Orchestra Next will perform Stravinsky’s famously complex score live to this imaginative rework of the original. Paired with Dark Meadow Suite by modern dance pioneer Martha Graham, the program explores humanity, identity, and connection through the lenses of both ballet and modern dance..
