Carl Orff’s dramatic, emotionally-charged score undergirds British choreographer David Bintley’s dazzling and inventive modern interpretation of Carmina Burana.

Atlanta Ballet’s edgy mixed rep program New Choreographic Voices will return this March with a slate of premieres that promises a look at the bold, new directions in the world of contemporary dance. Featuring the Atlanta Ballet premiere of Ohad Naharin's "Minus 16" and the world premiere of Gina Patterson's "I AM." 

Back by popular demand, and just in time for Valentine's Day, is Atlanta Ballet's take on this tale of seduction and surrender.
