In addition, the company will present Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo , whose repertoire encompasses works from the renowned European tradition as well as major 20 th century American choreographers Twyla Tharp, Merce Cunningham, and Paul Taylor.

For the first time, this young, internationally acclaimed company with 50 dancers representing 18 different countries will include Fort Worth as one stop on its tour of the globe. Advance tickets are available to Fort Worth Dallas Ballet subscribers. Concluding the Fort Worth resident season, Benjamin Houk subtly modernizes the classic Ivanov choreography of the indomitable tale of triumph and tragedy in Swan Lake , the season finale, April 27-29. Together they face the realization that one s oppressive grief may be another s climactic moment of celebration, and ultimately together, they face their poignant eternity. Such contrasts and extremes are the watchwords of Houk s seductive season celebrating the company s fortieth anniversary.
