“It is hard to imagine a more open-minded cultural event than the Vail Dance Festival.” – The Denver Post

An all-star Opening Night samples and celebrates what is to come at this year’s Festival with performances by stars of New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, and other celebrated individual artists, along with an appearance by Alonzo King LINES Ballet. The program features a range of choreographic genius demonstrating the ambitious reach of the Festival, from works by iconic choreographers George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins to dances by today’s leading creative voices including Michelle Dorrance and Pam Tanowitz.

Casting and repertory are subject to change.
