Diversity in Dance at Victoria Theatre

Romance transforms into tragedy in Butterfly Suite, Karen Russo Burke’s ballet based on the 1898 short story Madame Butterfly by John Luther Long and immortalized by Giacomo Puccini’s famous opera.

Reflections is a neoclassical, pure dance ballet with Gerald Arpino's signature style of high lifts and fast pace set to Tchaikovsky’s “Variations on a Rococo Theme for Violoncello and Orchestra." Neal Gittleman conducts the DPO.

The evening will also feature a world premiere of a powerful new all-male work choreographed by Dayton Contemporary Dance Company's Susanne Payne, winner of Dayton Ballet's 2012 "New Works New Music" competition.
