Part one of KC Ballet’s 60th Anniversary Dance Festival
In the first weekend of Kansas City Ballet’s Celebration of Dance, you’ll enjoy three ballets including a KC premiere by Matthew Neenan. George Balanchine’s Diamonds recalls the order and grandeur of Imperial Russia and the Maryinsky Theater, where Balanchine was trained. It is the third and final ballet of Balanchine’s Jewels and is a glorious culmination of beauty and elegance. Petite Mort, translated from French, means “little death” and it passionately depicts the vulnerability of our lives. Jirí Kylián holds world-wide acclaim and has been one of the most influential voices in the progression of dance in the past decades, and this tour de force is an absolute “must see” with its Kansas City premiere. All music performed by Kansas City Symphony.
Tickets start at $34 and go on sale Aug. 14, 2017.
Tickets are available now as part of a Season Subscription.
