An Evening at the Ballet

About:

An Evening at the Ballet is a new symphonic program like no other -- and it's ready to go!

Artistic Directors Mireille Favarel and Ronald Foster have assembled a moving and exhilarating program of ballet music from the world's greatest composers. An Evening at the Ballet features two of today's most exciting dancers, Joffrey Ballet's Yumelia Garcia and Ogulcan Borova.

Each half begins with your orchestra performing brilliant works from the ballet repertoire. Garcia and Borova then dance a breathtaking pas de deux with the orchestra, followed by a rousing orchestral finale. Orchestra musicians will love An Evening at the Ballet. Our program includes inspiring and challenging masterworks that showcase the artistry of your orchestra, as much as the dancers.

The synergy between dancers, conductor, and orchestra makes for a rehearsal and experience that is thrilling and engaging for all. We create a magnificent evening for your audience.

"[At] Saturday's Anchorage Symphony Orchestra concert ... "An Evening at the Ballet" with dancers from Chicago's Joffrey Ballet company ... the nearly full house applauded loud and long."
Mike Dunham, Alaska Dispatch News

“They played . . . with panache, sympathy and a confidence born of conductor Ron Foster’s rock-solid command of the score.”
– Tom Strini, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

“One of the program's greatest revelations was Ogulcan Borova, who turned in a powerful
performance in the pas de deux [of] Diana and Actaeon.”
– Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times

"Yumelia Garcia. Stunning ... she sparkled. I couldn't have asked for a more mesmerizing Sugar Plum Fairy."
– Natalie Cammarata, Chicago Now

"... nothing short of a personal triumph for Mireille Favarel. Her transition from a woman to a swan at the end of the second act was so complete as to be almost miraculous."
– Jay Joslyn, Milwaukee Sentinel
