Ballet West: Utah Dance Company Returns to Chicago
This weekend, The Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University hosts Ballet West's return to Chicago; the Salt-Lake City-based dance company, ranked as one of "the top professional ballet companies in America" and are the stars of the CW's "Breaking Pointe," presents a weekend of performances, including its Chicago premiere of The Sleeping Beauty. Created by Artistic Director Adam Sklute and set to music by Tchaikovsky, this classic fairytale will cater "to modern audiences while maintaining the classical purity of the beloved story."
The company will also perform a mixed repertory that includes Rubies Pas de Deux from Diamonds, and a world premiere piece, Nicolo Fonte's The Lottery, a "suspenseful, innovative piece" that is never the same performance twice.
See Ballet West at the Auditorium Theatre, 50 E. Congress, Friday, October 4 through Sunday, October 6. Tickets are $30-$90 and are available online, by phone, 800-982-ARTS (2787) or at the box office. For more information, call 312-341-2310.
