Join Atlanta Ballet for a season featuring a powerful saga of a revolutionary artist, two Tchaikovsky classics, beloved fairytales, and more. “Each year, we curate a year-long repertoire with a variety of performances that showcase the elegance and vigor of our talented company dancers and empower them to unlock new ways to connect with our audience,” said Atlanta Ballet’s Artistic Director Gennadi Nedvigin. “A mixed rep of some of the all-time great choreographers—George Balanchine and Justin Peck—and the work of a modern-day master Annabelle Lopez Ochoa with the Atlanta debut of Frida bookend the season, bringing exhilarating energy to center stage, promising to captivate viewers through intricate choreography, iconic storylines and immersive set and costume design.”
