Huntsville Ballet is back, and stronger than ever
Due to safety considerations and complications from the COVID-19 pandemic, Huntsville Ballet has performed smaller programs over the last two years. This season, the ballet is back and stronger than ever, according to HBC artistic director Phillip Otto.
“Planning a season for HBC takes great care, balancing artistic integrity and financial responsibility. The dancers inspire me to plan the season, and this is a vibrant season full of energy and enthusiasm.”
