Ballet Theatre of
Dover ‘s annual spring offering of “Classics and More” 09 will be held on
Saturday, May 9, at 7:00 pm and Sunday, May 10, 2 pm at the In–Studio Theatre
at Tudor Industrial Park, off S Little Creek Rd.
The wide range of styles from classical ballet to
contemporary offer a performance that will satisfy many preferences. The
classical challenges of “Paquita” with music by the ballet composer
Leon Minkus, is full of Spanish–themed melodies. The technical difficulties of
the piece are heightened by Spanish motifs and flair.
“Allegro Molto” to a section of a string quartet by Bela
Bartok, is laced with difficult rhythmic passages which are playfully
intertwined with the choreography. Andrea Evers, choreographer, deigned the
piece as a visual representation of the music. The dancers respond with
energy and enthusiasm to the musical and technical challenges of the piece.
The myriad faces of Blues music will be explored in Dances
fron The “River Suite”– from spirituals to the music of George Gershwin in
‘Porgy & Bess’ to the new blues music of Marc Broussard, Chris Thomas
King and Robert Randolph.
Tickets for the show are $
10.00 for Adults (Reserved Seating), $ 8.00 Adults (Open Seating), and $ 6.00
for Children 10 and below, Students & Seniors.
