Diablo Ballet’s 24th season concludes with Celebrated Masters May 4 - 5, 2018 at the Del Valle Theatre and features the highly anticipated World Premiere of Robert Dekkers’ Red Shoes, an imaginative interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen’s timeless fairy tale. The program also includes the stylish Quartet from Val Caniparoli’s Stolen Moments, originally choreographed for the Richmond Ballet in 2015; and the lyrical Four Norwegian Moods by Lew Christensen, set to the music of Igor Stravinsky and originally commissioned by San Francisco Ballet in 1976 in celebration of Christensen’s 25-year anniversary as artistic director of that company. After the performance the audience is invited to stay for a Q & A with the dancers and choreographers, followed by a dessert and coffee reception.
