La Compagnie du Hanneton from France presents the new opus of multidisciplinary choreographer James Thierree who creates a world in which the walls sing in a white room and the orchestra instruments and the human body become one entity moving in magical tunnels of light and laughter that disappear into the distance.

Choreographer Kader Belarbi brings to the stage the ravishing Parisian night life of the Belle Epoque, with its cabarets, Can-Can dancers and sweeping delights, all through the story of painter Toulouse-Lautrec danced to original music in an evening which is a love affair with the city of Paris.

The important and beloved American dancer company returns to the opera house with two programs: one featuring the eternal works of Ailey and the other featuring new dance works created by Ailey’s followers in the company paired with Ailey’s Revelations.
