DENVER — Colorado's Ballet has lifted the veil off its 60th anniversary season.
The 2020/2021 Colorado Ballet season will feature Giselle, The Nutcracker, The Great Gatsby, The Wizard of Oz and Ballet MasterWorks.
The new season will have five productions at Denver's Ellie Caulkins Opera House for the third consecutive season.
“I am thrilled to announce our 2020/2021 season,” said Colorado Ballet Artistic Director Gil Boggs. “We are committed to offering something for everyone with a variety of eclectic and complementary programming, and our 60th anniversary season is no exception—it will continue to delight and inspire audiences."
Giselle kicks off the season on Friday, Oct. 9 with eight performances at Ellie Caulkins Opera House.
"We will start the season with a personal favorite of mine, Giselle," said Boggs.
A Colorado holiday tradition returns in 2020 for its 60th time. With magical dances and beloved choreography, The Nutcracker will be staged from Nov. 28 to Dec. 27 with new sets and costumes created exclusively for Colorado Ballet.
The 2019 production of The Nutcracker had record-breaking ticket sales, so fans will want get their tickets early.
