In honor of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, Carolina Ballet presents three stunning ballet works that celebrate America; In The Gray, An American in Paris and Stars and Stripes! Accompanied by live music and stunning costumes, witness three artistic visions which chart the country's culture, art and sometimes complicated legacy.

Join Carolina Ballet for this delightful full-length adaptation of a tale as old as time! A specially created, brand new ballet choreographed by Zalman Raffael, this majestic world-premiere is a marvelous way to introduce the uninitiated to the glory of the ballet. The timeless fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast has fascinated audiences in a variety of adaptations since it was first published over two hundred years ago, and is as refreshing-yet-familiar as ever in this new interpretation!
