Lyceum Series to Showcase Ballet with "The Nutcracker and Broadway Dreams"
Established in 1975, The Saint Louis Ballet was originally founded as a nonprofit organization. After taking the role as executive and artistic director in 2000, former New York City Ballet principal dancer Gen Horiuchi has since expanded the organization into a resident ballet company that employs 21 professional dancers and teaches hundreds of students of all ages at the St. Louis Ballet School. The company’s performances reach more than 17,000 people every year.
In their show at Truman, The Saint Louis Ballet will perform selections from Jerome Robbins’ jazz-infused “Interplay,” along with “Pas de Deux” from Christopher Wheeldon’s “Carousel,” concluding the evening with Act II of “The Nutcracker,” including “Waltz of the Snowflakes.”
