HUNTSVILLE — The Huntsville Ballet, the city’s only professional ballet, returns to the stage in October to open its first full season of performances in two years. The local troupe promises a varied but familiar program for the 2022-2023 season.
During the pandemic, the ballet did perform, but with only smaller programs.
“HBC Unplugged” Oct. 21-23 at Dream Theater on Holmes Avenue downtown
Artistic Director Phillip Otto’s “Tumbleweed Suite” makes its premiere.
“Inspired by George Balanchine, this energetic new piece of choreography captures the spirit of the old West infusing classical ballet with traditional western themes and American folk dancing,” Otto said.

Kicking off the New Year, this production features Pas de Deux, Variations, and sections of popular works such as “Stage Door Canteen,” and “Romeo and Juliet,” but the company will introduce an original new work at this performance as well.
