THE ABT STARS REVISIT THE CLASSICS
Titled “An Intimate Evening with Stella Abrera and the American Ballet Stars,” the show transcends cultural boundaries and touches the soul of ballet lovers old and new, with timeless music from history’s greatest composers.
For the highly anticipated show, Isabella Boylston and Blaine Hoven take on John Philip Sousa’s Stars & Stripes (Pas de deux). While Roman Zhurbin joins Stella Abrera in performing Concerto by Dmitri Shostakovich.
Johan Strauss II’s Bier Halle comes to life through the powerful artistry of Gillian Murphy and Jose Sebastian. In another number, Abrera returns on stage with JooWon Ahn with a romantic excerpt from Romeo & Juliet as choreographed by Sir Kenneth MacMillan.
Then, passion reigns in the nuanced performance of Catherine Hurlin in Flames of Paris. This is followed by a genteel dance “On the Water” by Gillian Murphy and Blaine Hoven.
For the finale, the talented roster of award-winning dancers gathers for a nod to Don Quixote and will be joined by Steps scholars from the CENTEX Scholarship dance program.
