Serenade
Music by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Choreography by George Balanchine
O Fortuna! What an incredible opening to NBT’s 2023-24 Season! Enjoy pure spectacle as NBT’s gorgeous dancers, a full orchestra, and over 50 boldly pure operatic voices come together in an earthquake of an event, Carmina Burana. In 2022, Las Vegas audiences audibly gasped in awe and sprung to their feet in thunderous applause as this powerful ballet enveloped them in its swirling storm of love and pain, life and death, fate and will.
From the moment the curtain rises, George Balanchine’s Serenade takes gentle and complete control of your emotions. Set to Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings, this Balanchine masterpiece is as close to a spiritual experience as can be found in ballet, breathtaking in its classic elegance of form. As delicate blue tulle sweeps across a moonlit stage in perfect complement to the music, you will revel in the transcendent beauty of dance.
