NAC Presentation

Miami City Ballet, making a triumphant return under the Artistic Directorship of former New York City Ballet prima ballerina Lourdes Lopez, showcases talent, versatility, and superb classical technique.

Carmen, by British choreographer Richard Alston, is graceful and sensuous  yet lightning fast, an enthralling ballet, performed on pointe, set to a sharp, fresh adaptation of the iconic score by Georges Bizet.

The stunning Symphonic Dances – created for MCB by ballet superstar Alexei Ratmansky, who also choreographed the lusciously romantic Romeo and Juliet for The National Ballet of Canada – is dramatic and fast-paced, set to Sergei Rachmaninoff’s powerfully fiery score.

This program also includes Balanchine’s exhilarating Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux.

Featuring the National Arts Centre Orchestra
