Dear Friends,

Welcome to this special afternoon of ballet, where we are delighted to present two of the most beloved works in the classical repertoire: Swan Lake Act II and The Firebird.

Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake enchants with its sweeping melodies and the haunting beauty of the swan corps, while Stravinsky’s The Firebird dazzles with its bold rhythms and vibrant storytelling. Though distinct in style, both ballets capture the magic of transformation, the power of love, and the timeless appeal of myth and legend. This year's performance features a cast of over 60 children alongside our professional company.

It is a rare and wonderful opportunity to experience these masterpieces side by side, to revel in their glorious music, and to witness the art of ballet in all its expressive beauty. Thank you for joining us—we hope you enjoy the performance!

Sincerely, 

Heather Rogers

Principal of Charlottesville Ballet Academy
