Houston Ballet is a truly international company, perfect for such a cosmopolitan city. The dancers come to us from all over the world and the repertory (six different programs each season plus 30 performances of The Nutcracker) includes ballets by the world's best choreographers, both classical and cutting edge. Artistic director Stanton Welch, an Australian, has choreographed both classical and contemporary ballets (Madame Butterfly, Marie, The Four Seasons, Divergence, Velocity, etc.) for Houston Ballet and other major companies (e.g. San Francisco Ballet). He directs both the company and the school (Ben Stevenson Academy). Students from the school have won top prizes at international ballet competitions. Audiences love the company's performances. The company's new Center for Dance opens spring 2011 and will be the largest dance facility in the nation, enhancing Houston's vibrant performing arts scene even further. Houston is so lucky to have Houston Ballet!
