Following its critically acclaimed debut to sell-out audiences in 2015, Stephen Mills, Ballet Austin's Sarah and Ernest Butler Family Fund Artistic Director, brings his popular contemporary ballet back in time for Valentine’s Day. A dark, sleek and sexy retelling of the centuries-old story, Beauty & the Beast, this innovative work draws inspiration from film noir and haute couture, while being set against a visually stunning backdrop. Austin composer Graham Reynolds blends classical instruments with industrial sounds to create an original score that is both commanding and hopelessly romantic. Don’t miss this exquisite dance work and the chance to explore the real beauty and beast within.
