Charlotte Ballet: Dangerous Liaisons

Overview

Dangerous Liaisons, a dramatic and passionate story, is brought to life through the inventive choreography of Sasha Janes. Not only will you get to see spectacular dance, but you’re also in for a live music performance! Popular cellist Ben Sollee, who composed an original score for the ballet, performs live, suspended over the stage. You will be on the edge of your seats throughout this thrilling ballet, which culminates in an intense duel to the death.  

The performance of Dangerous Liaisons opens with George Balanchine’s The Four Temperaments. The ballet is one of Balanchine’s earliest experimental works, fusing classical steps with a lean, angular style.
