Richmond Ballet, The State Ballet of Virginia, presents an intimate evening of classical and contemporary works. Stoner Winslett’s Rachmaninoff Rhapsody sweeps audiences away with its elegant costumes, lush music, and virtuosic dancing. Inspired by the iconic 1967 film of the same name, Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner by Jennifer Archibald addresses the intolerances faced by interracial couples and highlights the fortitude, simplicity, and beauty of love. Set to music by soul legends such as Donny Hathaway and Ray Charles, this powerful work breathes new life into a vintage Hollywood story. Closing the program is Ma Cong’s Thrive, a joyful ballet exploring the depth and intensity of energetic connections.
