    Theatre & Literary Arts

    Come see the story you know and love told in a whole new way! With flying dancers, animated backdrops, live orchestra, and over 140 costumes, it’s sure to lift you out of your seat! This ballet was many "firsts" for Midland Festival Ballet, the most significant being it is the first full length ballet they created. Other exciting firsts included flying dancers and using digital projections as the backdrop. The result is a mesmerizing explosion of movement, light and color unlike anything MFB had performed before. All that paired with the drama of live orchestral accompaniment made this, without a doubt, the largest collaborative project MFB had ever undertaken. And West Texans were the first to see it at the premiere performance here at the Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center in April 2022! Midland Festival Ballet is excited to bring it back. Accompanied by the West Texas Symphony.
