Our Future Has Never Looked Brighter

What makes a performing arts organization great? Artistic excellence, bold vision, passionate leadership and the fortitude to allow for creative risk.

These are the hallmarks of Orlando Ballet. Under the leadership of Board President Jonathan Ledden and our dedicated Board of Directors, the road to sustainability has transformed our financial picture, allowed for the building of a debt free home and set us up to succeed in a time that none of us could ever have imagined.

This solid organizational foundation supports the vision of a fearless artistic director to rise above each new hurdle – instead seeing a creative challenge. I am in awe of my partner, Robert Hill, as he leads Orlando Ballet through the constraints of providing safety for our dancers, staff and audience to produce a ballet worthy of the mainstage. Rare is the choreographer who would depart from the traditional interpretations of an iconic ballet like The Sleeping Beauty to present a work that addresses the reality of our current world. Robert has done just this with grace and fortitude that is echoed in the dedication of the company, production, wardrobe and technical staff.

My opportunity to lead the business side of our organization in support of this vision is the greatest professional gift of my life. I love our mission and deeply admire the professionalism and dedication of our administrative, artistic, school and community enrichment staff. Serving along side this team and our board of directors to safe- ly bring dance to you, our loyal audience, is my deepest privilege. I would also like to extend thanks on behalf of the entire Orlando Ballet family and the community we serve to the generous donors and funding partners who continue to support our mission to make all of this possible.

We are honored to perform for you and thank you for continuing help keep us dancing.

With sincere gratitude,

SCHOOL REHEARSAL ASSISTANTS Phillip Broomhead and Anamarie McGinn Everyone knows that a princess needs her beauty sleep, but too much sleep can be a curse and so goes the story of The Sleeping Beauty. Under the direction of Artistic Director Robert Hill, Orlando Ballet spins a delightfully dark and sometimes humorous story of jealousy, revenge, love and happiness through this 90-minute production, which also marks the ballet’s 2020/2021 season premiere.

While preserving Marius Petipa’s original choreography, Hill’s notable creative influence has his dancers follow Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s lush musical score while subtly weaving the audience into and through this famed fairy tale. From beloved Princess Aurora’s christening, where the child’s tragic story begins, to her untimely and extensive nap, the evil fairy Carabosse makes her anger clear after being snubbed by Aurora’s family. Revenge becomes her mission and her spell upon the child is cast.

When the beautiful Aurora turns 16, Carabosse’s curse kicks in; Aurora pricks her finger on a spindle and begins her new destiny — to sleep for 100 years. Even surrounded by her loving royal parents as well as good fairies, poor Aurora is not able to wake. Only a kiss from Prince Desire, will disrupt her sleep. And of course, then they live happily ever after.

Audience members will be enchanted by this spellbinding performance of dance, storytelling, dashes of humor, happiness and surprises; all while honoring the tradition and legacy of this iconic ballet. You won’t want to miss a wink. ORLANDO BALLET MISSION STATEMENT

Orlando Ballet entertains, educates, and enriches through the highest quality of dance.

ANNA FRANCES HENRIQUEZ MARCH 9, 1927 – NOVEMBER 24, 2018

Born and raised in New York City, Anna began her working career with AT&T in Manhattan—a job which later led her to our sunny Orlando. It was here that she retired after working for over 30 years in the telecom industry.

According to those who knew and loved her, Anna was equal parts elegant and intelligent—with a razor-sharp wit and an even sharper sense of style. She was passionate about helping others—spending much of her time volunteering at local hospitals in the neo-natal care unit and donating many of her fabulous wardrobe items to low- income women who were attempting to transition into self-sufficiency. Her impact seems to have stretched far and wide.

Anna made plans to continue her impact in the community after her death by designating Orlando Ballet as a beneficiary of her estate. With her gift, Orlando Ballet is able to continue our mission to entertain, educate and enrich the community through the highest quality of dance, making it more accessible to all.

Anna’s forward thinking has now placed her in the highest tier of giving at Orlando Ballet. If you have included Orlando Ballet in your will or estate plans or you would like more information about doing so, please contact Ashley Samuels at 407.418.9812 or [email protected]. We can work with you and your financial or legal advisors to ensure that your legacy of generosity will continue in the future. ARTISTIC STAFF
