This season, Atlanta Ballet embarks on one of the most monumental collaborations of its 82-year history: a world-premiere story ballet by acclaimed choreographer Twyla Tharp. Co-produced by Atlanta Ballet and Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet, The Princess and the Goblin is loosely based on George MacDonald's classic children's fairy tale by the same name. The story of a courageous young girl who confronts the trials of growing up, the cast includes 13 children from Atlanta Ballet's Centre for Dance Education ranging in age from 8 to 15 years old, along with professional performers from Atlanta Ballet. The family-friendly ballet marks Tharp's first work featuring children.

This performance was fine but certainly not an outstanding one. The sets, lighting and costumes were excellent.

About the Ticket Supplier: Atlanta Ballet

Atlanta Ballet was founded seven decades ago by dance visionary Dorothy Alexander (1904-1986). Miss Dorothy had a dream of bringing quality ballet to the Atlanta community. The result was the Dorothy Alexander Dance Concert Group--the first step in the regional ballet movement that swept the nation. Upon gaining professional status in 1967, the company was renamed Atlanta Ballet. Today, under the artistic leadership of John McFall, Atlanta Ballet is the oldest professional dance company in America, the largest self-supported arts organization in Georgia, and the official Ballet of Georgia.
