The series begins with one of the most dramatic ballets ever told, Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon, following the captivating Manon and her devoted Des Grieux as they are drawn into a world of luxury, temptation, and heartbreak. Then immerse yourself in the mystery and languor of 19th-century Japan with one of Stanton Welch’s most powerful works, Madame Butterfly. Conclude the season with the timeless beauty and emotional depth of Stanton Welch’s acclaimed Swan Lake. Each performance in this trio illuminates a moving story of love and loss that stays with you long after the curtain falls.

Variety is the spice of life, and you’ll get just that with Modern Masters! Featuring two mixed repertory programs and one exciting world premiere by Artistic Director Stanton Welch AM, this mini package takes you on a journey through all that dance has to offer and pushes the boundaries of what’s possible onstage and beyond. Pecos Bill kicks off the season with playful choreography and theatrical spirit in this exciting mixed bill. Stanton Welch’s stand-alone, one-act ballet Where’s Alice? toes the line between reality and fantasy, inviting you to ask: Who in the world am I?
