The Joffrey premiere of Lar Lubovitch’s full-length, three-act ballet!

Sir Frederick Ashton’s Cinderella returns to The Joffrey Ballet! Cinderella grows from a sad young woman into a beautiful princess, despite the best efforts of her overbearing evil stepsisters portrayed, as is tradition, by male dancers. The ballet is set to Serge Prokofiev’s brilliant score, breathtaking sets and costumes designed by the brilliant David Walker. Ashton’s Cinderella is widely considered one of the greatest ballets of this timeless fairy tale!

Othello
Choreography by Gerald Arpino. Jessica Lang, James Kudelka
Music by Tchaikovsky and others

The Joffrey presents three memorable and rewarding ballet experiences in one evening. As a tribute to our late co-founder, The Joffrey will perform Gerald Arpino’s Reflections– high lifts, a flying pace and classic beauty, all set to the music of Tchaikovsky. The Joffrey also presents two more opportunities to be among the first in the world to view important new dance works. One world premiere will be created by the innovative James Kudelka. The other is by choreographer Jessica Lang, who is known for her creative vision and emotionally spellbinding work.

Dancers: Fabrice Calmels, Temur Suluashvili, Megan Quiroz, Jonathan Dummar, Christine Rocas
