BEST OF BALLET
Ballet has the power to transcend time, place and even the force of gravity. It can tell stories or simply express the essence of music. “Best of Ballet” brings together an alluring selection of choreographic favorites, including excerpts from The Nutcracker, The Firebird, Appalachian Spring, Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and Fancy Free.
