Midland Festival Ballet presents not just one, but three exciting ballets! First, the rattling tambourines and rustling tutus of Nadia Thompson’s Grand Tarantella. Next, feel the rhythm and the rhyme with all the animals in Pearl Wamsley’s award winning contemporary ballet, The Incredible Petes. Finally, join Prince Ivan as his search for golden apples becomes a much grander adventure in the featured ballet, George Skibine’s The Firebird. This classic fairytale has it all: magical creatures, daring battles, an enchanted forest, an imprisoned princess - you don’t want to miss it. Accompanied by the West Texas Symphony.
