FALL WORKS

Charlotte Ballet’s season opens with the return of a fan favorite and an acclaimed work never before seen in Charlotte. Fall Works features Helen Pickett’s IN Cognito, created for Charlotte Ballet in 2019, with inspiration from NC author Tom Robbins. For the first time Charlotte Ballet will present Under the Lights, choreographed by Charlotte Ballet II Director Christopher Stuart and set to the music of the iconic Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. ArtsNash called this ballet a “seamless blend of classical, modern and popular dance styles”. Rounding out this triple bill program is the return of Crystal Pite’s A Picture of You Falling to the Knight Theater to create an unparalleled experience.
