2011-2012 Season

Peter & The Wolf & More

Written by Sergei Prokofiev to cultivate the love of music, this classic Russian fantasy has become one of the best introductions to both the symphony and ballet since it was first performed in 1938.  It is the story of a young boy who ventures out into the meadow, against his grandfather’s orders, to catch a wolf.  The wolf is also being chased by the village’s best hunters.  But, with the help of his animal friends, Peter catches the wolf using only a rope lasso.  The brave Peter, accompanied by the hunters and his animal friends, becomes the hero of his village.  The Manassas Ballet Theatre Orchestra performs the classic score.

Swan Lake

 Tchaikovsky”s first ballet, Swan Lake is considered by many to be the greatest classical ballet of all time. It is the ultimate story of  love and redemption with romance, beauty and mysticism that have mesmerized audiences for more than 100 years. Today, this timeless tale of a young prince and his eventual betrayal of a swan queen continues to engage audiences and inspire new generations of dancers.  Set to one of Tchaikovsky’s most enduring scores, the ballet captures the full range of human emotions unlike any other work.  The professional dancers of MBT are accompanied by over thirty members of the Manassas Ballet Theatre Orchestra.
