Clear Choreography: stanton Welch Music: Johann sebastian Bach

Madame Butterfly Choreography: stanton Welch Music: Giacomo Puccini, arranged by John lanchbery

b September 6 – 16, 2012

in her cocoon, the butterfly is protected, sheltered in naiveté. it is only when she begins to emerge that she becomes vulnerable. Madame Butterfly, the story of a beautiful Japanese geisha who gives up her faith and her family to marry an american naval lieutenant, is at once compelling and heart-breaking. set to Puccini’s powerful score with costumes and sets by Peter Farmer, stanton Welch’s Madame Butterfly is a stunning achievement in neoclassical ballet that has been an international success, with performances on three continents. also on the program is Welch’s Clear, a poignant ballet danced to Bach.

b September 20 – 30, 2012

Three of the world’s leading female choreo-graphers take Houston Ballet on a spectacular odyssey of dance with a fall repertory program unlike any other. Julia adam’s Ketubah was originally created in Houston. The tale of a traditional Jewish wedding, the ballet showcases the natural humor and story-telling style of the affable choreographer. already a Houston favorite, acclaimed young Canadian choreo-grapher aszure Barton creates a theatrical work specifically for dancers of Houston Ballet. and the legendary twyla Tharp demonstrates why she’s recognized as one of the pioneers of contemporary dance with The Brahms-Haydn Variations, a neoclassical milestone.

la Bayadère Choreography: stanton Welch Music: léon Minkus, arranged by John lanchbery

b February 21 – March 3, 2013

a brilliant fire god, opium dreams and a crashing temple. This is stanton Welch’s La Bayadère, classical ballet with a touch of Bollywood. a colorful version of the Russian classic, La Bayadère is the lively story of nikiya the temple dancer, her lover solor, and the vengeance that keeps them apart – at least in this life. With lavish scenery depicting the jungles of india and costumes by Peter Farmer, La Bayadère features mesmerizing classical performances highlighted by the famous shades scene, staged for the entire corps de ballet.

When it was originally performed in 1913, The Rite of Spring, a collaboration of igor stravinsky and Vaslav nijinsky, shocked the audience with its audacious music and controversial subject matter. to mark the 100th anniversary of this exceptional work, stanton Welch is honoring the tradition of artistic collaboration with his own Le Sacre du printemps, a world premiere featuring art by the famed australian painter Rosella namok. also on the program is a world premiere by edwaard liang, an internationally renowned choreographer making his debut in Houston, and Pacific, a joyous ballet by american choreographer Mark Morris.

b May 30 – June 9, 2013

From the banks of the Vltava River to the grandeur of a Russian palace to the rain-drenched sidewalks of Central Park, the spring repertory program is a fantastic voyage led by the grand masters of choreography. Jiří Kylián’s Sinfonietta is an exuberant tribute to the Czech choreographer’s homeland. Ballet Imperial is George Balanchine’s homage to st. Petersburg, to the choreographer Marius Petipa, who he referred to as “the father of classic ballet,” and to Russia’s greatest composer. The Concert is famed american choreographer Jerome Robbins’s laugh-out-loud funny reflection on the active imaginations of new York City concert-goers.

Join Wendy, Peter and the darling boys as they embark on a magical adventure to neverland. it’s a magnificent world where people fly, where fairies are real, where crocodiles tick like clocks, and where boys never grow up. With swash-buckling swordfights, giant puppets, vibrant masks and colorful sets by Thomas Boyd, trey Mcintyre’s Peter Pan is an invigorating journey from beginning to end. it’s a voyage navigated by a choreographer who appreciates the fantasies of youth yet understands the complexities of aging. Peter Pan may not have grown up, but his story has.
