ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
Set to the beautifully composed “Piano Concerto #12 in A Major” by the renowned Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, choreographer Stephen Mills’ WOLFTANZT first premiered as one of three ballets in a collection works known as THE MOZART PROJECT in 2011, followed by TO CHINA, WITH LOVE in 2016. WOLFTANZT was also a part of Ballet Austin’s 14-city tour of the People’s Republic of China in 2016. The Austin Chronicle applauded the world premiere for “…it’s impossible not to be influenced by Mozart, and purposefully delving into his mastery results in richness, illumination, a kind of collaboration.”

PRESS
“…the fabulousness of the program, packed with goodies sure to prove the worth of one’s ticket, is clear to me.”
The Austin Chronicle
“Neoclassic movement (the women are on pointe) is colored by tinges from the 18th century—the baroque as well as the thrill of uncharted territory.”
Fjord Review
“…it’s impossible not to be influenced by Mozart, and purposefully delving into his mastery results in richness, illumination, a kind of collaboration.”
