Richmond Ballet’s Studio Company presents an exciting evening of classical and contemporary works, showcasing the versatility, athleticism, and artistry of its talented emerging dancers. Highlights include La Bayadère Pas de Six, a grand classical showpiece from Act III of the beloved ballet. The program also features two compelling works by Richmond Ballet Artistic Director Ma Cong: Alone, Beside Me, a poignant duet exploring the complexities of love and connection, and Crash, a gripping solo that delves into personal conflict and endurance. Salvatore Aiello’s Notturno adds a lyrical dimension, pairing expressive choreography with the evocative music of Franz Schubert.

 

Richmond Ballet, The State Ballet of Virginia, has flourished as a home for the past, present, and future of dance since its inception as a professional company in 1984. The Ballet boasts an expansive repertory that includes 19th and 20th century masterpieces as well as more than 80 new ballets by contemporary choreographers from around the world.
