For the classical lover, Glazunov’s Raymonda Suite with choreography by Marius Petipa premieres featuring the talents of Nicole Kelsch and Mark Andrew McCormack in the leading roles. Raymonda was one of Petipa’s many great ballets choreographed for the Russian Ballet in the 1800’s. He is best known for his creation of The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and Sleeping Beauty. In celebration of her Fifteenth Anniversary, Artistic Director, Dianna Cuatto brings back Gottchalk’s Grande Tarantella which she choreographed for the company her first season and creates two new works for the program: Convergence, set to a newly commissioned score by returning composer Ryan Lucas, and Shades of Blue, set to the music of Camille Saint-Saens. In addition, the critically acclaimed and enormously popular Vortex, set to Marc Galibre’s driving, score and inspired by the world- famous vortexes of Sedona, Arizona, displays the energetic, rigorousness of BTM’s dance athletes. Performances are at 7:30 p.m., Friday, 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, and at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.
