Petruschka & Divertissement

Join Ibsen Ballet Theatre Youth Company as they present the magical ballet Petruschka.

Company director Cameo Ibsen has staged this classic ballet as it was set on her as a youngster by Ballet Russe dancer/historian George Verdak.

In addition to Petrushka, the company will perform additional original contemporary dance works.

Please join us for this special performance where we honor the past and the future through dance.

Petrushka  brings music, dance, and design together in a unified whole. It is one of the most popular of the Ballets Russes productions. It is usually performed today using the original designs and choreography. Grace Robert wrote in 1946, "Although more than thirty years have elapsed since  Petrushka  was first performed, its position as one of the greatest ballets remains unassailed. Its perfect fusion of music, choreography, and décor and its theme—the timeless tragedy of the human spirit—unite to make its appeal universal"
