The Ballet Theatre of Maryland presents Napoli!

This sunny story ballet takes place in the city of Naples, where a plucky fisherman named Gennaro endeavors to marry his beloved Teresina. The warmth and color of Napoli is on display as the two lovers convince Teresina’s mother to allow them to marry, survive a shipwreck, and brave the wicked sea demon of the Blue Grotto in order to find their happy ending.

Choreographed by August Bournonville in 1842, Napoli is a gem of the Romantic Ballet tradition. Inspired by Bournonville’s travels to Naples, the production will delight audiences with its warm and energizing dances. Keep your eyes peeled in Act III for the show-stopping tarantella! It also features Bournonville’s rapid, virtuosic jumps and turns that will keep audiences on the edge of their seat.

With themes of faithfulness and love everlasting, Napoli is a family-friendly treat!
