Segerstrom Center for the Arts is proud to present the West Coast premiere of American Ballet Theatre’s Harlequinade. Audiences are in for a delightful treat with this new production of a rare comic gem created over a remarkable 18 months by ABT Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky, inspired by the archival notes of Marius Petipa.
Harlequinade is set to a score by Riccardo Drigo, played live by Pacific Symphony. The ballet features sets and costumes by Robert Perdziola, praised by Forbes as a “feast of colors and whimsy.” Harlequinade will be performed January
17 – 20 in Segerstrom Hall.
ABT Artistic Director Kevin McKenzie has released principal casting, which will include Isabella Boylston as Columbine, James Whiteside as Harlequin, Gillian Murphy as Pierrette, and Thomas Forsteras Pierrot on opening night January 17.
Additional casts include Stella Abrera, Skylar Brandt, Sarah Lane, Hee Seo, Christine Shevchenko, Cassandra Trenary, Alexandre Hammoudi, Blaine Hoven, Alban Lendorf, Tyler Maloney, Calvin Royal III, and Daniil Simkin.
