Making its New Orleans debut (one of only four cities nationwide), the State Ballet of Georgia concludes NOBA’s star-studded 2022-23 Main Stage Season. The acclaimed national company of the former Soviet republic tours internationally yet is not often seen in the United States. Based in the Opera and Ballet State Theatre in the capital city of Tbilisi, this stunning company of “versatile and accomplished” dancers (The New York Times) has soared under the bold artistic direction of world-renowned dancer Nina Ananiashvili (former prima ballerina with Bolshoi Ballet, The Royal Ballet and American Ballet Theatre) who returned home to her native country in 2004 to lead the company. Accompanied by the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, this rare evening features two of Georgian-American choreographer George Balanchine’s greatest masterpieces, Serenade and Concerto Barocco. Using traditional Georgian music, the rousing finale is a work created for the company by Yuri Possokhov, the Ukraine-born dancer and international choreographer. “The sheer polish of the men is striking” (The New York Times).

NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Jazz in the Park is coming back on April 27, bigger and better than before.

We have been on hiatus for a while; my job relocated me to Alaska, Austin, and West Virginia; when I was away, it made me appreciate how special New Orleans is; there is no place like New Orleans. We’re bringing Jazz in the Park back so that we can continue to do our part to make New Orleans a great place to live.”
The free fun kicks off at 4:00 with the “King of the Second Line,” James Andrews, leading a parade around the park.
