Texas Ballet Theater launches 2017-2018 season with Beauty and the Beast

Texas Ballet Theater Artistic Director Ben Stevenson has announced the Company’s 2017-2018 season, which includes a world premiere by Stevenson; a world premiere by TBT dancer Carl Coomer; a moving tribute to soldiers of war; as well as classics such as Beauty and the Beast and Swan Lake.

“Our 2017-2018 season will bring our patrons a bit of everything – from storybook pieces to exciting new world premieres,” Vanessa Logan, TBT’s executive director, said in a news release. “The mixed-repertoire productions are especially exciting with Ben’s world premiere and Carl Coomer’s Henry VIII. The talent within our company is truly amazing.”

The season launches Sept. 7 in Dallas with Tchaikovsky’s classic Beauty and the Beast. That’s followed by the Christmas favorite, The Nutcracker, and the popular spoof of the Tchaikovsky classic in The Nutty Nutcracker, a hilarious take on current events and cultural happenings.

The season includes several mixed repertoire programs, including a performance of Henry VIII, created by TBT dancer Coomer. Also included is the world premiere of Martinů Pieces, composed by Bohuslav Martinů and choreographed by Stevenson.
