Halloween-themed Ballet 'Night on Bald Mountain' comes to Atlantic City
by Zachary Klein, JerseyArts.com - published 2024-10-17
Ballet companies are always looking for new and exciting ways to present their art forms to the public. From established yearly works like "The Nutcracker" and "Swan Lake" to more adventurous works that turn non-traditional music into exciting dance, the world of ballet is ever-evolving. Atlantic City Ballet, which just celebrated its 40th anniversary season in 2022, is one company that never stops looking for new ways to connect with its audiences. Under the direction of artistic director Phyllis Papa, the company presents what Papa thinks is the first-ever ballet staging of the 1867 Modest Mussorgsky composition "Night on Bald Mountain," a piece that is premiering just in time for Halloween. Papa was excited about her take on a classic piece often used in spooky commercials and other settings.
