Orlando Ballet presents the U.S. Premiere of Casanova featuring live music from the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra

Be sure to mark your calendars and join Orlando Ballet for the U.S. Premiere of Casanova at The Dr. Phillips Center, Steinmetz Hall May 16-19, 2024.

Giacomo Casanova is arguably the world’s most legendary womanizer, but he was also an intellect, a gambler, and a scofflaw – all the right character traits around which to design a lusty ballet, which is exactly what choreographer Kenneth Tindall has done.

Tindall, a former principal dancer is a Freelance award winning Choreographer and Director specializing in Narrative Dance. His Casanova offers a larger-than-life ballet experience like none other thanks to opulent dance underscored by sexual tension generated by composer Kerry Muzzey’s attention-grabbing music.

Guest Conductor Julian Pellicano returns to lead Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra as it performs live music for this production which takes place from May 16 - 19, 2024 on the stage at Steinmetz Hall within Dr Phillips Center.

Set in 18th CenturyVenice, Italy, Tindall’s lavish vision includes iconic Venetian masquerades, period costumes and sets along with big, big choreography that tells the story of how Casanova’s plans for a career in Holy Orders got derailed by his own decadence.

Created in the UK, this award-winning production has not yet been seen in North America, but its tour here is made possible through a collaboration between Orlando Ballet, Colorado Ballet and Milwaukee Ballet.

Says Artistic Director Jorden Morris, “This is the future of making big, expensive, lavish ballets more accessible to the public as a compliment to the standard classics already available.”
