About This Performance
F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic Jazz Age novel comes to life through the artistry of Orlando Ballet in this stunning adaptation of The Great Gatsby. This ballet captures the decadence, romance, and ultimate tragedy of the Roaring Twenties, transforming one of American literature's most celebrated works into a visual and emotional dance experience. The production brings together the glamour of 1920s New York with the timeless themes of love, loss, and the elusive American Dream.
Expect an evening of sophisticated storytelling through movement, with elaborate period costumes, jazz-influenced choreography, and sets that evoke the opulence of Gatsby's world. The ballet translates the novel's complex characters and relationships into powerful dance sequences, from intimate pas de deux representing forbidden love to grand ensemble pieces capturing the era's wild parties. This production appeals to both ballet enthusiasts and newcomers drawn to the familiar story, offering an accessible entry point into dance while delivering the technical excellence expected from a professional company.
Dr. Phillips Center's Steinmetz Hall provides an intimate and acoustically superb setting for this production. The venue's smaller scale creates an ideal atmosphere for experiencing the nuanced emotions and intricate choreography of The Great Gatsby, allowing audiences to feel close to the action while enjoying the hall's renowned sound quality and sightlines.
