Ballet has been ranked as one of the most difficult art forms and athletic feats to master. Our dancers have been training for decades to make it look graceful. Collectively, our company dancers have put in over one million hours of training, which manifests in the master works we put on stage. Each dancer and each production is a true expression of grit and grace. Behind the scenes, our production, operations, administration, wardrobe and community partners are dedicated to do the same—make these events seem effortless. Much like the art itself, each production involves hundreds of hours of work by talented designers, technicians and staff. That’s a lot of heavy lifting! The final lift? That comes from YOU! You put us in motion; you allow us to live our dreams. Please consider making a donation in support of our season and enjoy what you have made possible. We will be thanking you all along the way and offer you the benefits that come with being a donor.

  • The Ballet That Changed Everything Balanchine’S ‘Serenade’ Took Women out of a Fairy Tale Setting—And Created a New Model for American Dance
    ENTERTAINMENT CULTURE DANCE The Ballet that Changed Everything Balanchine’s ‘Serenade’ took women out of a fairy tale setting—and created a new model for American dance BY TONI BENTLEY ERENADE” was the first ballet George Balanchine choreographed in Amer- ica, whereby he planted the seeds for the next ‘S50 fertile years during which he re- shaped classical ballet, with its French, Italian, Danish and Russian roots, as an American art form. It was 1934, he was 30 years old, and just off the boat, literally, having barely avoided detention at Ellis Island, from St. Petersburg via Europe where he was Diaghilev’s last choreographer for the Ballets Russes. “Serenade” was his third masterpiece (after “Apollon musagète” in 1928 and “Le Fils Prodigue” in 1929)—and the first of many to his beloved Tchaikovsky. The ballet is set to the composer’s soaring score “Serenade for Strings in C.” Tchaikovsky called the piece—com- posed at the same time as the 1812 Overture—“his “favorite child,” writ- ten, he said from “inner compulsion . from the heart . I am terribly in love with this Serenade.” In this single early work, remark- ably, Balanchine made a dance that would become the Rosetta Stone for a new kind of dancer, the American classical dancer. He brought a kind of democracy into the hierarchical land of ballet classicism, lifting it from its dusty 19th-century splendor, and cre- ated, simultaneously, an aristocracy for American dancers who had none. But he had plenty, having been a sub- ject, as a child in St. Petersburg, of the last Czar in Russian history.

  • Giselle Media Kit
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 15, 2014 Contact: Erika Overturff (Founder and Artistic Director), (402) 541-6946 Print-quality photos are available for download here. BALLET NEBRASKA OPENS SEASON 5 WITH LANDMARK ‘GISELLE’ OMAHA -- Ballet Nebraska will open its fifth anniversary season October 4 at Omaha’s Orpheum Theater with Giselle — a landmark ballet of the Romantic Era that is both a poignant love story and a chilling tale of vengeful ghosts, artistic director Erika Overturff said.! “Giselle helped put ballet at the center of the Romantic movement," Overturff said. "When it premiered at the Paris Opéra in 1841, it showed what could be accomplished when a dramatist, a choreographer, a dancer and a composer worked together as a tight-knit creative team. It demonstrated to everyone, inside the dance world and out, the power of integrating art forms into a work of total theater.”! Overturff summarized the plot: Act I introduces Giselle, a charming peasant girl being courted by a handsome neighbor — who actually is a nobleman in disguise, and is already engaged to an aristocrat. When Giselle’s jealous ex-boyfriend reveals the deception, the shock is too much for her; she collapses mentally and dies of a sudden heart seizure. But that’s only the beginning of the story. In Act II, Giselle’s spirit rises from her grave and faces a choice: to forgive her betrayer, or to join the Wilis — beautiful but deadly ghosts who haunt the forest — to hunt him down and take her revenge.! “Giselle is a dream role for a ballerina,” Overturff said.
