Carolina Ballet invites you to experience fan-favorite programs by Artistic Director Robert Weiss and Principal Guest Choreographer Lynne Taylor-Corbett as well as a new ballet from Choreographer in Residence Zalman Raffael.

performances felt as fresh and

19th season features programs that
captivate the senses through live
music and choral pieces, intricate
sets, colorful costumes, and
thrilling choreography.
