Gala Performance

Choreography by Antony Tudor
Music by Sergei Prokofiev
Original Designs by Hugh Laing
Lighting by Jennifer Tipton

Gala Performance is a clever and lighthearted satire of ballet’s grand traditions. Set at a fictional gala event, the ballet playfully exaggerates the quirks and egos of its performers, blending technical precision exactitude with comic timing. Beneath the humor lies a genuine affection for the art form, making it both a parody and a tribute.
