The Commonwealth Ballet is pleased to announce its spring program, “Peter and the Wolf” with music by Sergei Prokoviev and “Continuum."

About the Program:

“Peter & The Wolf”  In this charming story, the boy Peter, against his Grandfather’s warnings, climbs over the garden wall and encounters a great big wolf. With the help of quick-thinking friends, a bird, a duck, and a cat, Peter captures the wolf and takes it to the zoo. Through Prokofiev’s iconic score, and choreography from CBC’s Artistic Director Melenie Diarbekirian and Boston-based choreographer Juliana Utz, this symphonic tale teaches us to be brave and to have courage in challenging circumstances.

“Continuum” is a curated program of works both classical and contemporary, familiar and new. The company will revisit La Vivandiere Pas de Six; excerpts from Juliana Utz’s Siren; and an excerpt from Chip Morris’ The Nightingale, and will premiere new work created by Melenie Diarbekirian. Both dancers and audience are invited to journey through this sequence and experience a continuum of movement ideas. 

Dates and times:

Saturday March 23: 1:00 p.m. & 6:00 p.m.

Sunday, March 24: 1pm
