To celebrate the 100th birthdays of Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins, icons of classical music and ballet, as well as Broadway, we will be reviving their Fancy Free - the ballet that changed American dance forever. This work was also the genesis of the Broadway show and Hollywood movie, On the Town

For the first time ever, we will present Jerome Robbins’ Afternoon of a Faun set to the music of Claude Debussy.

RALEIGH MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM

Join us for an evening of dance inspired by the famous paintings of Claude Monet featuring Lynne Taylor-Corbett’s Picnic on the Grass and Robert Weiss’

The Gardens of Giverny. This beautiful homage to the great French painter features the evocative music of his compatriots Chausson, Debussy, and Poulenc. Originally commissioned in 2007 by the North Carolina Museum of Art this two-part ballet has everything a dance lover could wish for: a story ballet based on Monet’s life to open and a sweeping impressionistic second act based on his famous garden paintings.

Set to one of Tchaikovsky’s greatest scores, Robert Weiss’ version is truly spectacular! Music for this performance will be played live by The Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle.
