Company Premiere February 26–March 1, 2009  Raleigh Memorial Auditorium at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts Choreography: Robert Weiss Composers: Paul Morovec (Tempest Fantasy) Ludwig Van Beethoven, Leos Janacek, J. Mark Scearce (The Kreutzer Sonata) Live Music: Ciompi Quartet Carolina Ballet, famous for its story ballets, teams up with two literary greats—Shakespeare and Tolstoy—for an evening of passion and drama. Live accompaniment by the Ciompi Quartet adds to the excitement. Tempest Fantasy reflects The Tempest through the prism of Paul Moravec's 2004 Pulitzer Prize-winning music, and The Kreutzer Sonata explores Tolstoy's domestic fable using music of Beethoven and Janacek tied together by commissioned music of North Carolina's own premier composer J. Mark Scearce. Save money and see all of our programs with a season subscription! Click here for more information.
