HOUSTON – After two seasons either completely or partially cancelled due to COVID-19, Houston Ballet will be coming back to their home stage at Wortham Theater Center for the 2021-22 season.
“We’re overjoyed to return the Wortham Theater Center stage and bring back our talented artists and supporters into the same space to share these joyous occasions once more,” Houston Ballet Artistic Director Stanton Welch said in a Monday press release. “We’ve grown from this difficult time and have been inspired by our community to keep creating art that reflects the diverse and innovative city we call home.”
After more than a year away from live, in-person performances, Houston Ballet today announces its 2021-22 season, ready to welcome pandemic-weary audiences back to the Wortham stage to see the company present the same upper level work its dancers have been known for in seasons past, according to Artistic Director Stanton Welch. We’ve kept ourselves in condition the entire time by keeping the company employed and working, Welch said. Other than the actual bruising and the soreness from being partnered and all that kind of thing which we ve actually started now, I think that come Rep 1 and
Nutcracker and into the following season, we ll all be artistically at the high caliber we re used to.
