Austin Metamorphosis Dance Ensemble’s season will close on May 31st and June 1st (Rain Date June 2) as they present their annual event Ballet Under the Stars at the Zilker Hillside Theater. This season’s Ballet Under the Stars will feature the music of Ludwig Minkus. He is most well-known for his ballets Don Quixote, La Bayadère, and Paquita that have defined the art form of classical ballet through their strong and dynamic characters. Enjoy an evening with artists as they exhibit beautiful artistry and unmatchable virtuosity. Austin Metamorphosis Dance Ensemble will also be joined by guest artists from Ballet Austin and Ballet San Antonio. Additionally, the audience will also enjoy original debut works created by MDE’s artists. Join them just before sunset on May 31 and June 1 at the Zilker Hillside Theater. Beginning just before sundown, this Austin tradition is fun for the whole family and a great way to kick off your summer. Whether it’s your first time at a dance performance or you are a seasoned patron of the arts, you will be amazed at the talent and creativity of the artists. During intermission the bucket is passed for donations and any amount is graciously accepted.

This project is funded in part by a grant from the City of Austin through the Cultural Arts Division.
