Madison Ballet 2023-2024 Season

Madison Ballet 2023-2024 Season

Unbound, the title of the Madison Ballet 2023-2024 season, is the second curated by Artistic Director Ja’ Malik featuring several world premieres by the leader himself as well as those by established and emerging choreographers.

Madison Ballet’s presence in the dance world, engagement with the local community, and commitment to diverse programming expressing our desire to “unbind” audiences from their expectations and thus unlock the true potential of ballet for everyone. 

Classical ballets also shine next season with the company’s annual production of The Nutcracker and Malik’s restaging of the second act of Giselle.

“[This season is] allowing our audiences, who may have a certain idea of what ballet is, to be invigorated and see ballet in a new way. We always strive to present that moment of excitement for those that have never seen ballet or never thought of themselves as someone who could love ballet.”

Capitol Theater, Overture Center for the Arts

  • World Premiere by Ja’ Malik
  • Act II from Giselle by Ja’ Malik

Timeless presents a world premiere by Artistic Director Ja’ Malik and a new production of the second act from the classical story ballet Giselle.

Originally created in 1841, this story has become a favorite for audiences around the world, with the second act being one of the most emotionally driven works in the classical repertory of ballet.

Giselle has died, and her lover Albrecht, who has betrayed her, comes to the graveyard to grieve, but she must choose to either forgive and save his life or let him die of heartbreak. This new production will have choreography by Ja’ Malik after Jean Coralli and Jules Perot to the heart-wrenching music of Adolphe Adam.
