LA SYLPHIDE October 2-11 Colorado Ballet opens its 55th season with a romantic presentation that hasn’t been on stage in Denver for nearly 20 years. This ballet features choreography

by August Bournonville and music

by Herman Severin Løvenskiold, performed live by the Colorado Ballet Orchestra. Bournonville choreographed La Sylphide in 1836, making it one of the oldest surviving ballets. In the production, a young Scotsman pursues a beautiful, bewitching winged sylph, or spirit. “The Company last performed La Sylphide in 1996 and I wanted to present it this season because it is one of the most beautiful, romantic ballets of all time,” says artistic director Gil Boggs. “In his quest for the unattainable love of the sylph, the young Scotsman abandons his fiancé and ultimately loses everything. The ballet demonstrates temptation, loss and loving something you cannot have.”

THE NUTCRACKER November 28 - December 27 The Nutcracker features more than 300 costumes, 30 Company dancers, 20 Studio Company dancers, 65 Academy dancers and thousands of families that look forward to this holiday favorite each year. In addition to timeless choreography, Tchaikovsky’s extraordinary arrangement will be performed live by the Colorado Ballet Orchestra. “Colorado Ballet’s enchanting presentation of The Nutcracker is the largest production of the holiday favorite in Colorado,” says artistic director Gil Boggs. “Do not wait to purchase your tickets to watch Clara and the Nutcracker Prince’s magical wintertime journey to the delicious Land of Sweets.

Nearly every performance was sold out in 2014, so we encourage patrons to buy their tickets early.”

ALICE (IN WONDERLAND) February 19-28 The Ballet will fall down the rabbit hole for the Colorado premiere of Alice (in Wonderland). Based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, the ballet includes choreography by Septime Webre and music by Matthew Pierce, performed live by the Colorado Ballet Orchestra. Alice (in Wonderland) first premiered in 2012 and the choreography merges traditional ballet movements with contemporary ballroom, modern and hip-hop steps. “This isn’t your typical, classical storybook children’s ballet. Alice (in Wonderland) is a charming theatrical extravaganza with colorful costumes, whimsical sets and a wide variety of dance styles,” says artistic director Gil Boggs. “Come watch the adventures of Alice in a strange land filled with eccentric and entertaining characters including the frantic White Rabbit, mysterious Cheshire Cat, peculiar Mad Hatter, terrifying Jabberwock and the wicked Queen of Hearts.”

BALLET DIRECTOR’S CHOICE March 25-27 The Ballet will close its season with a collection of contemporary premieres in the Ballet Director’s Choice at the June Swaner Gates Concert Hall at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts.

Renowned contemporary choreographer Dominic Walsh will be doing a work for the Company. Walsh is a former Principal Dancer and Choreographer with Houston Ballet and founder of contemporary ballet company, Dominic Walsh Dance Theater. The repertory will also include the premiere of a tango-inspired ballet by choreographer Lorita Travaglia. In addition to her work as Ballet Mistress at Colorado Ballet, Travaglia is the Creative Director of Parasol Arts, a non-profit organization that takes inspiration from the art of Argentine Tango. The production will include a third work to be announced at another date. “Ballet Director’s Choice highlights the talents of Colorado Ballet’s dancers through a diverse selection of new works,” says artistic director Gil Boggs. “Audiences will see a range of different dancing styles, from contemporary to Tango, all in one amazing performance. Ballet Director’s Choice is the perfect production to debut exciting world premiere ballets with our extremely talented Company.”

Programming is subject to change and shows can be added, postponed or canceled.
