Atlanta Ballet’s Season
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Atlanta Ballet has announced the lineup for its first season at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.
The 2008-2009 season will start with a classical favorite, “Swan Lake,” in October, followed by the perennial “Nutcracker,” (which is still under contract at the ballet’s old home, the Fox Theatre.)
Then comes a reprise of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” a signature work for the Atlanta Ballet, which it last performed in 2004.
In March, the ballet will present “The Firebird” in addition to a world premiere from award-winning choreorgrapher Darrell Grand Moultrie.
The season closes in May with “Don Quixote,” based on Cervantes’ classic novel, and a shorter ballet for kids — a one-hour version of “Snow White.”
After years of performing at the Fox, the Atlanta Ballet announced its move to Cobb earlier this year, citing the larger stage — and smaller house — at the new performing arts center.

Will there be an orchestra?

Like it’s music, perhaps the ballet can record the dress rehearsal dancing too, and then we can watch it at home on a DVD delivered by Netflix. No need to even leave the house!

Like the music, perhaps the Ballet can just record the dancing on DVD and have it delivered to me via Netflix. That way I don’t even have to leave home!
