The lights dim, the curtain begins to rise, you see your first glimpse of those graceful bodies in glimmering costumes. The choreography comes to life with the cue of the orchestra and you are immediately drawn into a different time and place. Ballet is a collaborative effort of dancers, musicians, costumers, designers, and patrons. It takes the contributions of an entire artistic community and its supporters to help us accomplish our vision and create a world-class ballet organization that is integral to the cultural fabric of our capital city and beyond.
We can’t do it alone. Our sponsors, patrons and friends make it possible for Saint Paul City Ballet to continue presenting well-known and beloved ballets while nurturing and exploring new dance and choreographic works. Saint Paul City Ballet is proud to be your company, and we look forward to many hours spent with you at the ballet.
