Villain or victim? Haughty queen or impetuous girl?  In his full-length Marie, artistic director Stanton Welch offers a new perspective on the often controversial and always fascinating life of Marie Antoinette. Choreographed specifically for Houston Ballet, Marie makes tremendous use of the company’s acting abilities and dancing talent. Stylized sets by Kandis Cook and a sumptuous score by the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich add depth to this absorbing tale of pomp and circumstance.
