In its annual tradition, Citie Ballet caps its season with an original story ballet. Damsels of the Night (Les Demoiselles de la Nuit) is adapted from Jean Anouilh’s original, set for Margot Fonteyn in 1948 by famed French choreographer Roland Petit (who died in 2011). Citie Ballet’s production will transport you to the rooftops of Paris, where alley cats play by their own rules. The production is choreographed by Francois Chevennement and Laurence Menotti. The libretto is by Edmonton’s Katherine Koller, librettist for last season’s Murder at the Strand.
