The Best of BAHBT

April 6 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

$28 – $38

A showcase of our best classical and contemporary works.

Act I: A Mixed Repertoire

Act I of BAHBT’s spring production will include both classical and contemporary works including the brilliant Majisimo” featuring four couples. Contemporary works including “Bolero” an ensemble piece to the music of Ravel. Our dancers will dazzle with their artistry and athleticism.

Act II: Paquita Divertissement

History:

Paquita was originally performed by the Paris Opera Ballet in 1846 as a romantic ballet in two acts and three scenes. In 1881, Marius Petipa produced a revival of the ballet with three acts including the famous Act III wedding. The full-length story takes place in Spain during the occupation of Napoleon’s army. The heroine is the young gypsy girl, Paquita. She was abducted by gypsies when she was an infant but is truly of noble bloodline. She saves the life of a young French officer, Lucien. Paquita and Lucien fall in love and their marriage is given a blessing when Paquita’s family line is revealed.

The Pas de trois and the Children’s Mazurka are major cornerstones of the traditional classical ballet repertory.
