Spring Performance
This spring, immerse yourself in the magic of storytelling through ballet with Giselle and the enchanting world of King Midas!
King Midas
Experience this timeless tale through ballet, where dance and the strains of Greek folk and classical music bring Midas’s journey of transformation to life.
The story of King Midas unfolds like a golden summer day, bathed in the warmth of Greek sunshine and the scent of oranges carried on a soft breeze. His court, alive with melodies of lyres and auloi, celebrated life’s abundance in open courtyards filled with music and laughter.
When Dionysus granted the golden touch, Midas’s world shimmered as if the sun itself had turned all to gold. Yet, the vibrant oranges became cruel reminders of what he could no longer savor, and the joyful melodies gave way to silence. His beloved daughter, frozen in golden stillness, became the ultimate emblem of his regret.
Redemption came as he washed in the River Pactolus, its waters cooling his curse and restoring the natural harmony. The air regained its sweetness, the oranges their flavor, and life its music.
