The Great Gatsby – A Ballet Inspired by Fitzgerald's Classic

Description

Experience the glamour, passion, and unrestrained energy of the Roaring Twenties in this dazzling ballet adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel.

With choreography by Dwight Roden, the founder of Complexions Contemporary Ballet, this performance captivates with its expressive storytelling and powerful movements.

The dramatic and atmospheric music by Konstantin Meladze and Yurii Shepeta intensifies every scene, making the emotions truly tangible.

Featuring world-class dancers from leading theaters, this ballet transforms The Great Gatsby into a mesmerizing theatrical experience. Each performer embodies the iconic characters from the novel, bringing them to life in an entirely new way.

The costumes, designed by the renowned Ukrainian brand FROLOV (known for dressing Beyoncé), feature hand-embroidered transparent fabrics, adorned with sparkling stones, adding to the production’s elegance.

This stunning fusion of classical ballet and modern dance is the result of an extraordinary international collaboration, ensuring that every movement tells a story of love, dreams, and eternal longing.
