Mobile Ballet: New Swan Lake, Fundraiser

Mobile Ballet will present Swan Lake on March 25-26 at the Mobile Civic Center Theater. Closing its 35th Anniversary season, the performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. on March 25 and 2:30 p.m. on March 26. Tickets are $20-$60. The new production by Mobile Ballet features Houston Ballet principal dancers Yuriko Kajiya and Connor Walsh and additional guest artists performing with Mobile Ballet dancers. The Mobile Ballet Orchestra will accompany the March 25 performance live, and a recording of the orchestra will be shown at the March 26 performance. On March 5, Mobile Ballet will present the Swan Soirée on March 5 at 2-4 p.m. at The Venue in Fairhope. The afternoon tea will involve guests meeting Mobile Ballet dancers performing in the Swan Lake production. Guests will also see a short performance from the show, get to hear the story read aloud, enjoy snacks and play dress-up with costume props for photographs. Children ages 3 and up and their parents are encouraged to participate, and a silent auction will be held. Tickets are $25 and must be purchased in advance. Funds raised will go to the Relevé Project, Mobile Ballet’s tuition assistance program to help reduce financial burdens that prevent children from accessing dance training.
