Night on the Trinity is a director’s choice evening. This production is a double billed evening featuring a contemporary ballet, Red Violin, and a new ballet with a libretto conceived by the artistic director. Red Violin is set to the award-winning sound track from The Red Violin. The ballet follows the travel 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. 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 director 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.
After the performance enjoy a cocktail hour catered by Tim Love, owner of the White Elephant. A great opportunity to meet the dancers, take a tour around the Fort Worth Community Arts Center Gallery, and try your hand at Faro with cards dealt by Wyatt Earp. Drinks, appetizers, and dessert will be served in the gallery next to the theater.
