YouOverThere Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It looks like they managed to scrape together enough financing for 5 programs this year! Albeit, 2 of them are only a single weekend. Link to comment
California Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 The news release about the upcoming season was just posted: http://coloradoballet.org/about-news/colorado-ballet-announces-2014-2015-season-adds-special-halloween-production I believe Dracula was last performed in fall 2010 and was a huge hit. (I've never seen it.) It looks like a good idea to do this again on Halloween weekend and edge back to five programs a year after having to cut back to four. Link to comment

(I've never seen it.) It looks like a good idea to do this again on Halloween weekend and edge back to five programs a year after having to cut back to four. I've seen Dracula 14 times. It's a cash cow for them, as long as they don't overuse it. Martin Fredmann recognized the potential popular appeal of it and purchased costumes and props because he expected to program it on a regular basis. Not the greatest ballet ever, but lots of fun. Wheeldon's A Midsummer Night's Dream was the first program that I saw the CB do, and that was the first professional ballet performance that I ever attended. Link to comment
