Milwaukee Ballet preps for Feb. 25 return to stage By FOX6 News Digital Team Published Dancers with the Milwaukee Ballet MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee Ballet announced Wednesday, Feb. 10 that it will open its doors to approximately 50 people per show for the first time in a year -- bringing performances back later this month. Milwaukee's newest public health order -- Order 4.4 -- relaxes gathering restrictions from 10 people to 25% of capacity, where space allows, and gives Milwaukee Ballet new opportunities to overcome the challenges of COVID-19. "Returning to the stage during this pandemic is like recovering from injury," said Michael Pink, Milwaukee Ballet artistic director. "Rehabilitation is slow and steady, you must commit to a goal and keep working diligently towards it. That’s what we’re doing here at Milwaukee Ballet."
