From Ballet to Broadway! is a one night only, collaborative live dance and music event presented by International Ballet. Showcasing the classical ballet La Fille mal Gardée (Act I), Broadway inspired show tunes and exciting new dance works by Vlada Kysselova and Carissa Kubitz.
La Fille Mal Gardée is a comic ballet dating back to 1789. It is one of the earliest and most significant classical ballets still performed in many ballet company repertoire’s today. Originally choreographed by Jean Dauberval (one of the greatest choreographers of his day), the ballet has been revised and adapted through the centuries by numerous choreographers, and tells the story of Lise, the misbehaved daughter of a prosperous farm owner who is promised by her mother to marry the wealthy but dimwitted Alain. In love with a young farmer named Colas, Lise sets out to spoil her mother’s plans!
After intermission the International Ballet company dancers will close the show with The Snowstorm, a new classical waltz choreographed by Vlada Kysselova and a new contemporary work by local choreographer Carissa Kubitz.
