Pacific northwest, miami ballets to sub for joffrey

COSTA MESA — The Pacific Northwest Ballet and the Miami City Ballet will replace the canceled Joffrey Ballet engagement at the Orange County Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa, the center

announced Thursday. The Joffrey was to have danced April 4-9 at the center but had to cancel its national tour for financial reasons. Those exact dates, however, could not be filled by the

center because companies were not available. Seattle-based PNB will dance Kent Stowell’s 1994 production of “Cinderella” June 13-15. The Miami troupe will dance a repertory program July

14-16, including Balanchine’s “The Four Temperaments” and “Western Symphony” as well as two ballets by company resident choreographer Jimmy Gamonet de Los Heros, “Transtangos” and “Nous

Sommes.” Season subscribers will be sent tickets based on the day of the week for which they hold tickets. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday subscribers will get a Pacific Northwest Ballet

date. Friday, Saturday and Sunday subscribers will be sent tickets for a Miami City Ballet program. Subscribers inconvenienced by the changes in dates, however, have the option of exchanging

tickets. Individual tickets will go on sale four to six weeks before each engagement. Information: (714) 556-2787, Ext. 292. MORE TO READ
