FALMOUTH, ME – Join us for “Dancer’s Choice,” a performance created, chosen, and performed by Company members of the Maine State Ballet.  Experience our dancers’ unique and personalized talents as they bring their interpretations and dance creations to life.  The evening will culminate with the neoclassical ballet “Britten,” promising a grand finale to the evening.

Company dancers have selected their own variations spanning from cherished classics to innovative neoclassical pieces. Featured selections include segments from Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and Carmen. Additionally, some dancers have taken on the role of choreographer and will be debuting their original choreography.

“Britten” is a neo-classical ballet choreographed by Artistic Director Linda MacArthur Miele, inspired by Benjamin Britten’s “Simple Symphony.” Famed for its captivating melodies and inventive incorporation of themes Britten crafted in his youth, this piece follows the tradition of George Balanchine’s storyless ballets showcasing musicality, precision, and striking formations.
