The sports and entertainment industry has had some significant interruptions this year due to COVID-19, but they are finding various ways to overcome the obstacles. Saint Louis Ballet is not immune to these obstacles, and they will be returning this fall and holiday season with two productions. Saint Louis Ballet will stream its “This Is Who We Are” production, set to the music of J. S. Bach, Oct. 24 – 27 from their ballet studio. One complimentary ticket per household can be obtained on their website for the Oct. 24 - 7:30 p.m. streaming (https://www.stlouisballet.org). A link for the performance will be provided by the ballet and will be active four days. Patrons are also able to donate a gift of $10 to the Saint Louis Ballet during their online checkout.
