Encore Performance of A Celebration of Dance and Music

Cleveland Ballet reprises its latest work on January 27, 2017 at the Hanna
Theatre

 

CLEVELAND, OH January 11, 2017— 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 Playhouse Square’s Hanna Theatre on January 27, 2017. This
evening includes a program of original, dances that enhance Cleveland
Ballet’s quickly growing repertoire. Artistic Director, 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.

 

Cleveland Ballet looks to separate itself from traditional ballet companies
by moving its musicians from the orchestra pit to the stage. “As we build
our company of dancers and group of artistic collaborators,” says Guadalupe,
“we are looking for ways to create a look unique to Cleveland and Northeast
Ohio
” A Celebration of Dance and Music shows audiences how the fluidity of
dance and a musician’s grace complement each other.

Tenor Mikhail Urusov will return to the stage to accompany the dancers with
the arias “Amore Perduto” and “Granada”. His tremendous performance is one
of the many highlights of the evening. In addition to Urusov’s arias two new
operatic features will be included in the program featuring the vocal
talents of Nicholas Oita and Polina Kornyushenko. The live onstage
accompaniment will be a collective of Cleveland Institute of Music musicians
led by Ralitsa Georgieva Smith.

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 form 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. 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 artist Ramón Oller, concluded
the inaugural season.
