Confetti
Music: Gioacchino Rossini
Choreography: Gerald Arpino
Diablo Ballet will celebrate its 29th Anniversary with the premiere of Confetti by Gerald Arpino, the former Artistic Associate of the Joffrey Ballet, in honor of his Centennial Celebration on what would have been his 100th birthday. The ballet will be staged by former Joffrey Ballet principal and Artistic Director of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet Tom Mossbrocker.
Paquita
Music: Music by Édouard Deldevez & Ludwig Minkus
Choreography: Based on Marius Petipa
The ballet is the creation of French composer Édouard Deldevez and Paris Opéra Ballet Master Joseph Mazilier and staged for the first time in Russia in 1847 for the Imperial Ballet of St. Petersburg by Marius Petipa. Paquita will feature the entire company in a bravura finale.
Elevator Operator
Music: Lesfm, Serge Quadrado, and Redeemin
Choreography: Amanda Farris
Selected by audiences from Diablo Ballet’s first Dance Laboratory in 2022, Diablo Ballet Company dancer, Amanda Farris premieres her first work for Diablo Ballet on the Lesher Center stage. The ballet was inspired by Farris’ love of Bossa Nova music. Farris stated, “It’s unfortunate that this music is often relegated to be used as elevator music or generic background music, so I wanted to create a story where it takes the spotlight in a collective daydream. Using magical realism, it takes a look at how we can find joy in the commonplace or the mundane.”
