Love and Ballet

Every February, Saint Louis Ballet presents contemporary ballets that capture the spirit of Valentine’s Day.  This year, the global pandemic challenges the company to perform in new ways, to present a fresh and romantic performance that’s safe for both dancers and audience members alike.  

Following up on the success of fall and holiday productions (more than 150,000 people watched), Saint Louis Ballet presents LOVE (and ballet) in the Time of Corona, an all new production to be streamed beginning February 13. This program will feature solos and small ensembles set to Bach’s French Suite No. 5 and English Suite No 3. Under the direction of Executive and Artistic Director Gen Horiuchi, the entire company will perform to this early 18th century music, thought to be particularly complementary to dance.

Befitting of the Valentine’s weekend, company members Lori Wilson, Amy Herchenroether, Elliott Geolat, Mark David Bloodgood and Lauren Christensen will perform solos and pas de deux from favorite story ballets in the company’s classical repertoire including The Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake and Coppelia.
