About The Event

Coinciding with the exhibition Picasso and Paper, the CMA is thrilled to welcome Cleveland Ballet to present its program "Impressions of Picasso."

At a young age, Pablo Picasso discovered his interest in dance, which continued throughout his life, leading to his involvement in various aspects of 10 ballet productions. Picasso’s imprint can be seen in his designs of stage curtains, costumes, and sets and backdrops. In this program, Cleveland Ballet presents two ballets inspired by Picasso’s Guernica and Harlequin works. Both ballets embody the spirits of their original paintings and reflect their angles, colors, and passions through every movement. Additionally, Cleveland Ballet performs Walpurgisnacht from Gounod’s Faust, which depicts the folk celebration before May Day.

More information about Cleveland Ballet can be found on its website.
