2024/2025 Season Highlight: Oct. 12-13 - Balanchine’s Western Symphony & Serenade, with @wheeldony ‘s After the Rain. . Don’t miss two of @georgebalanchinetrust ‘s most beloved works - Completely opposite in energy and yet equal in exuberance and technique - Along with the St. Louis premiere of one of Christopher Wheeldon’s most loved pieces. . Serenade, Balanchine’s first ballet set in the USA, just reached it’s 90th anniversary. Serenade demonstrates Balanchine’s mastery at mixing classical technique with a new, very American energy that he would later exemplify in creating New York City Ballet. . And speaking of American - Western Symphony is a striking example of Balanchine’s fascination with Americana - its all things cowboys, saloon girls and folk music arranged my Hershey Kay. . And finally - Christopher Wheeldon’s “After the Rain” pas de deux, an intimate and stirring piece that will mesmerize you with it’s equal part simplicity and complex emotion. . Don’t miss your chance to see these three American classics. Now thru July 31st, Save on Season Tickets! . #stlouisballet
