GALA OF INTERNATIONAL BALLET STARS

Presented by BalletMet and ballet tech ohio

Described by The Columbus Dispatch last year as "something to cheer about," the Gala of International Ballet Stars features some of ballet's best dancers performing passages by some of its best choreographers.

The star-studded program will feature:

BalletMet, performing Call It Off by Harrison McEldowney; Stanton Welch's Wildlife; and La Vida Pasa from Deanna Carter's Colores de Alma, which was part of BalletMet's smash hit program at New York's Joyce Theater in May.

Former BalletMet Academy student Bridget Breiner of Stuttgart Ballet and Frankfurt Ballet's Christopher Roman, who studied with the now-defunct Cleveland Ballet, in Herman Schmerman by William Forsythe.

Gennadi Saveliev of American Ballet Theatre in the solo Gopak and, with Boston Ballet's Sarah Lamb (who's soon to be with Royal Ballet), a passage from Diana and Acteon and the White Swan pas de deux from Swan Lake.

Agnes Oaks and Thomas Edur from English National Ballet in a Don Quixote pas de deux and Impromptu by Derek Dean.

Royal Ballet principal Viacheslav Samodurov and Larissa Lezhnina, leading principal ballerina with Dutch National Ballet (also a former principal with Kirov Ballet), in the neo-classical Le Corsaire, and Light and Shade by Krzyxztof Pastor, resident choreographer of Dutch National Ballet.

National Ballet of Canada's Alexander Antonijevic and Sonia Rodriguez in "Summer" from Artistic Director James Kudelka's The Four Seasons, and the Balcony pas de deux from John Cranko's Romeo & Juliet.
