Justin Peck, City Ballet’s resident choreographer and artistic adviser, was contributing his 24th work for the troupe.

dirac Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 A preview of Tulsa Ballet's new program by James D. Watts Jr. for Tulsa World. Quote The piece was a series of vignettes inspired by the 1953 film “Roman Holiday,” which starred Audrey Hepburn as a runaway princess and Gregory Peck as an American journalist who ends up escorting her around the “Eternal City.” And choreographer Luciano Cannito, who created the work for the event, thought that one performance was the end of that particular ballet. “Then I get a call from Marcello (Angelini, Tulsa Ballet’s artistic director), saying that he thought I should turn what I had made for the gala into a full work,” Cannito said.
