A feast for the senses and the soul featuring the dramatic crowd favorite West Side Story Suite, a stylish new work by choreographer Durante Verzola, and a beloved ballet of epic scale in Divertimento No 15.
Program includes:
West Side Story Suite
Whether on stage or on screen, the music, dancing, and drama of West Side Story Suite never disappoints.
In 1995, Jerome Robbins adapted his smash-hit musical into a brilliantly theatrical suite of dances. Revel in the energy of the MCB’s own dancing and singing Sharks and Jets as they face it out at the school gym and ultimately – tragically – rumble in the streets. Feel for the tender lovers Tony and Maria, and paint the town with Anita and Bernardo as the suite unfolds – all in a swirling showcase of Robbins, Leonard Bernstein, and Stephen Sondheim’s collective genius.
West Side Story’s timeless theme of divisions among neighbors still resonates yet reminds us that with love, there’s a place for all of us.

Divertimento No 15
A sparkling ballet for a regal cast of 16 dancers, Divertimento No. 15 is a prodigious work of geometric precision set to Mozart’s supreme score, which Balanchine considered the finest divertimento ever written.
