Nashville Ballet has announced that single tickets for its 2024-25 season are now available. Under the artistic direction of Nick Mullikin, the upcoming season will present a mix of beloved classical stories and contemporary premieres, all set to live music performed by The Nashville Symphony.
The season includes three classical ballets choreographed by Artistic Director Emeritus Paul Vasterling: “Dracula” with George Balanchine’s “Serenade,” “The Sleeping Beauty,” and “Nashville’s Nutcracker.” Additionally, the season will feature two world premieres: “Frida & Diego’s Dia de los Muertos,” choreographed by NB2 Director Maria Konrad, and a new piece in the “Attitude” series by Artistic Director Nick Mullikin.
“This season will offer unparalleled experiences that will inspire audiences, heighten our emotions, and create a visceral experience that allows us to lose ourselves and find ourselves, all at the same time,” said Mullikin.
The 2024-2025 season schedule is as follows:
– **”Dracula” with George Balanchine’s “Serenade”**: October 3-6, 2024, at TPAC’s Polk Theater. This production contains mature content and is intended for audiences 13 years and older.
