For its 12-13 season finale, Atlanta Ballet explores the theme of love through both classic and innovative choreography. Highlighting the athleticism and passion of Atlanta Ballet’s dancers, these performances find new meaning in the world’s greatest love stories. 

Carl Orff’s dramatic, emotionally-charged score undergirds British choreographer David Bintley’s dazzling and inventive modern interpretation of Carmina Burana. The theatrical, large-scale production follows three seminarians as they reject their faith and explore the pleasures of the flesh. “Sensational…Live entertainment does not get better,” said The Shropshire Star writer Andy Richardson in a 2011 review.  

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. From the gripping original score, complete with howls of wolves and haunting heartbeat, to the thrilling sets and sensuous costumes - Dracula is a lush cinematic work with the masterful Count at its rich and bloody heart.

Charming children and adults alike, Atlanta Ballet breathes new life into this classic fairytale. Let yourself be swept into the action as Cinderella breaks free from her evil stepfamily and finds her prince! A one-hour family ballet performed by Atlanta Ballet's Fellowship Ensemble.
