In 1998, Lexington audiences welcomed a season of performances
presented by a new company of resident professional ballet dancers: not
touring artists passing through town, not students in recital, not freelance
dancers contracted for a single event, but a company of talented, experienced,
professional dancers who made Lexington their home and dancing their livelihood.
Today, audiences in Lexington and in cities across Kentucky enjoy the kind of
ballet performances that only a professional company can present. Whether filling
the Lexington Opera House or bringing full-length ballet to a Beattyville high
school auditorium, whether performing Prokofieff’s Cinderella or
the tango-hot Phantom of the Opera, the Kentucky Ballet Theatre has
proved that central Kentucky audiences love quality ballet.
