2 Performances at MBT
Sunday June 7 and Monday June 8 - Both at 7:00pm
Opus’ Spring Showcase highlights the instructional aspect of the school, featuring our youngest students (three years old) through intermediate/advanced high school students performing classical ballet, tap, contemporary, jazz, and ballet repertoire.
This year’s Spring Showcase includes an excerpt from Marius Petipa’s The Sleeping Beauty, which premiered in Russia in 1890. This quintessential piece of classical ballet repertoire has been performed all over the world for over 100 years. We are thrilled for Opus’ dancers to share in that legacy! Additionally, we celebrate one of our graduating senior’s, Kennedy O’Brien, as she dances a variation from the historic ballet, Coppélia (1870).
Opus’ Spring Showcase includes new works by Artistic Director Brooke Evans and faculty members Amalie Barton, Damian Cade, Elizabeth Graham, Celeste Hartsook, Bailey McCully, Kaitlin Nelson, Tilie O’Neil, Laura Smith, and Diane Williams, with costumes by Marie Christenson.
With a variety of all classes performing, you will get a taste of students’ experiences throughout the year, what the dancers have learned together, progress they’ve made and the goals they are reaching for as they refine and hone their skills.
