Night on the Trinity is a director’s choice evening that this season includes three performances covering Fort Worth and Dallas Texas. This production will be a double billed evening featuring a contemporary ballet, The Red Violin, and a new ballet with a libretto conceived by the artistic director of Ballet North Texas, Nicolina Lawson.
The Red Violin is set to the academy award-winning soundtrack from The Red Violin. The ballet follows the travels through the centuries of this legendary instrument and the lives of those it affects who take possession of it.
The second piece, Where the West Begins is set to Jacques Offenbach's Gaite Parisienne. This one act ballet is a piece of historical fiction with an original libretto conceived by the artistic director, Nicolina Lawson. The ballet takes place in the rough and tumble late 19th century of Fort Worth. BNT has met with local historians to provide historical accuracy, with plans to also infuse the story with a comedic flare. Both the artistic director, Nicolina Lawson and rehearsal assistants have visited the stockyard museums and talked to local reenactment group members at the Sid Richardson Museum in downtown Fort Worth to research authentic costuming and the higher profile characters of the period.
