'Romeo & Juliet' and 'Snow White' are on Indianapolis Ballet's new season

Next season, Indianapolis Ballet will deliver the tradition it has become known for along with works it's not yet brought to audiences. The latter includes Sergei Prokofiev's powerful "Romeo & Juliet" in collaboration with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra next spring.

Also on the way are the beloved "Nutcracker" and masterpieces by renowned choreographer George Balanchine, whom the company consistently honors. Mixed into the season are plenty of original works, too.
