Midland Festival Ballet presents not just one, but three exciting ballets! First, the rattling tambourines and rustling tutus of Nadia Thompson’s Grand Tarantella. Next, feel the rhythm and the rhyme with all the animals in Pearl Wamsley’s award winning contemporary ballet, The Incredible Petes. Finally, join Prince Ivan as his search for golden apples becomes a much grander adventure in the featured ballet, George Skibine’s The Firebird. This classic fairytale has it all: magical creatures, daring battles, an enchanted forest, an imprisoned princess - you don’t want to miss it.
This performance will also feature principal dancers of New York City Ballet Unity Phelan and Jovani Furlan. They'll perform the iconic and daring Black Swan Pas de Deux from Swan Lake. Don't miss your chance to see these world-renowned dancers right here in West Texas.
Accompanied by the West Texas Symphony.
This production is underwritten by the FMH Foundation with additional support from Arts Council of Midland. This project is supported in part by assistance from Odessa Arts.
