Program Four – Notes Unspoken
January 30th – February 2, 2026

Program Four features the Company’s third World Premiere of the Season with a new ballet by acclaimed choreographer Gemma Bond. Over recent years, Bond has been commissioned by numerous prestigious ballet companies globally. In honor of the 90th anniversary of its world premiere, Antony Tudor’s Lilac Garden will grace the Company’s repertoire, set against the enchanting backdrop of an evening garden party in Edwardian England. The program concludes with Ricardo Graziano’s Valsinhas, translating to “little waltzes” in Portuguese. In a unique presentation, the ending features a gender-divided cast, one composed entirely of females and the other of males, executing the same choreography.
