Giselle

A striking pairing of contemporary and classical, speed and stillness, this two-part program is a spectacular showcase for the dancers of Houston Ballet. Stanton Welch’s Indigo abounds with sensual energy. Giselle is a journey into a beautiful world of love, ghosts and mystery. The story of a peasant girl and the man who deceives her, Giselle is one of the most widely performed works of the Romantic era. Newly staged for Houston Ballet by famed ballerina Ai-Gul Gaisina, this Giselle harkens back to the Russian productions of her childhood.

Cinderella

The story has been a favorite for generations but make no mistake, this is not your childhood Cinderella. More tomboy than princess, Stanton Welch’s title character is a striking woman of substance, determination and spunk. She’s in control, fighting the oppression and will of her evil stepmother with wit and vigor. And when she finds true love she grabs it – and wisely holds on with both hands.

Rock, Roll & Tutus

Contemporary ballet has come of age and it’s looking better than ever. At 20 years old, Christopher Bruce’s Rooster is still rocking audiences around the world. It’s a fast-paced romp of machismo and nostalgia set to eight classic tracks by the Rolling Stones. Also on the program are two ballets by Artistic Director Stanton Welch, a world premiere choreographed to highlight the talents of Houston Ballet dancers and Divergence, the explosive ballet that put him on the international map.

Made in America

Balanchine. Morris. Fonte. All three have created ballets for companies around the world. This program, however, was made entirely in America. Mark Morris’s breezy Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes was commissioned by Mikhail Barysnikov for American Ballet Theatre. George Balanchine created Theme and Variations, his grand tribute to the Imperial Russian Ballet, for the same company. Nicolo Fonte, a Brooklyn native who danced with Les Grands Ballets de Canadiens and the Compañia Nacional de Danza in Madrid, will premiere a new work, choreographed specifically for Houston Ballet.

Romeo and Juliet

Set in 16th century Verona, Romeo and Juliet chronicles Shakespeare’s tale of two beautiful teenagers from families on opposing sides of a bitter feud. With its sweepingly regal ballroom scenes, vivacious swordplay and poignant pas de deux, Ben Stevenson’s production is a feast for the eyes. With impassioned dance and bold theatrics, it’s an ideal showcase for the company’s newest stars. The ballet that inaugurated Wortham Theater Center in 1987 is back in this, our inaugural season rehearsing in the new Center for Dance.
