On January 27, 2017 A Celebration of Dance & Music Returns to the Hanna
Theatre

CLEVELAND, OH November 3—Cleveland Ballet’s second season opened with a
spectacular performance showcasing the resident company, a host of virtuoso
musicians, and the future of classical ballet in Cleveland. The response to
A Celebration of Dance and Music, which premiered October 11, 2016 at the
Ohio Theatre proved so strong, Cleveland Ballet will remount the entire
evening at the Hanna Theatre on January 27, 2017. This evening includes a
program of original, dances that enhance Cleveland Ballet’s quickly growing
repertoire. Artistic Director and founder Gladisa Guadalupe conceived the
shape of the program and choreographed most of the dances. Guest
choreographer Ramón Thielen choreographed one of the evening’s show-stopping
dances titled The Cycle of My Love.   

Guadalupe’s unique vision for this performance and the company’s future
ballets is to have the musicians on stage with the dancers. “I want the
musicians to be a part of the dance,” says Guadalupe, “I want them out of
the pit and on the stage. Violinists, pianists, soloists—any musician on
stage performing with the dancers and enhancing the dance.” 

For A Celebration of Dance & Music, internationally acclaimed soloist
Michael Urusov sings Albinoni’s Amore Perduto and Lara’s Granada.  Ralitsa
Georgieva Smith, a member of the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM) leads a
group of musicians who play music by Handel, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Villodo
and others.

ABOUT CLEVELAND BALLET

In 2014 a group of dedicated volunteers and artists reconnected to build on
the artistic legacy of the Cleveland San Jose Ballet and formed Cleveland
Ballet. Under the artistic leadership and vision of Gladisa Guadalupe,
Cleveland has the opportunity to welcome a professional and resident dance
company back to the stage. Cleveland Ballet marked its return to the
Cleveland arts scene with the artistically and financially successful
October 2015 production, Past. Present. Future, a production that featured
traditional and innovative ballet performed in collaboration with Neos Dance
Theatre of Mansfield, Ohio. The collaboration addresses an important
Cleveland Ballet tenant, to create artistic partnerships with the area’s
leading cultural organizations. This debut production was presented to a
nearly sold-out audience and exemplified Cleveland Ballet’s collaborative
spirit, and the community support demonstrates that a passion for
professional ballet exists in Cleveland. The world premiere production of
Coppélia, choreographed by the acclaimed choreographer Ramón Oller,
concluded the inaugural season. Cleveland Ballet has simultaneously
established a number of exciting education and outreach programs such as our
collaboration with Bedford and Maple Heights School Districts and The
Cleveland Orchestra’s Family Concert series.
