2024-2025 Season
We hope you will join us
for our 2024-2025 Season!
WELCOME TO OUR
2024-2025 season
Our upcoming 27th season programming aims to strike a balance between works that continue to intrigue our audience while challenging our dancers to enhance their craft through “Movement that Means.”
Throughout time, it’s the stories that are told that unite us. Stories are shared with one another to identify with the spectrum of the human experience. Dance enhances storytelling, and this upcoming season will showcase how movement speaks a narrative.
The intent of these offerings is to encourage our audience to consider the higher meaning of the movement that is being expressed as Carolina Ballet’s dancers take you deeper into the exploration of life’s joys and complexities.
Season tickets are currently on sale! Packages start as low as $75 per person.
Call the Carolina Ballet Box Office for more information at 919-719-0900.
