For the first time in the U.S. audiences can experience the atypical dance romance Leonce and Lena by Christian Spuck, Artistic Director for Ballet Zürich. This 19th-century satirical romantic comedy recounts the tale of betrothed Prince Leonce and Princess Lena. Casting aside convention, they both flee on the eve of their wedding only to meet as strangers and fall in love. Described as having “all the skill and wonder of classic ballet, but with a sweet story [and] gothy ambiance,” this highly theatrical production is more “Tim Burton” than “Disney!” We think this will be best enjoyed by adults and children ages 8+.
