The Utah Review | Intimate, pristine, deep emotions, and a bonus with swagger
Intimate and pristine are perfect adjectives to describe Ballet West’s newest production, Rolling with the Stones, a quintuple bill which will include four Utah premieres. Opening Friday at the Capitol Theatre, this production also carries special meaning for Adam Sklute, artistic director who is celebrating his final and 20th anniversary season with the company. The production runs through Nov. 14, with five performances.
“This program features repertory in unique ways and it is quite a different program than I originally conceived for a multitude of reasons, as it went through a bunch of incarnations,” Sklute said in an interview with The Utah Review. “It was a question of how do I split this program, which has some associative aspects of my personal life story and what I would like to share with the public in my final season.”
