The Little Mermaid

The Joffrey Ballet closes its 67th season with the Chicago premiere of John Neumeier’s The Little Mermaid. This hauntingly beautiful production blends dance, dramatic storytelling and spectacle into a stunning interpretation of the tragic folktale. The story follows a mermaid who saves a ship’s captain’s life and falls in love, only to suffer the heartbreak of unrequited love. Featuring an original score by Lera Auerbach, the music will be performed by the Lyric Opera Orchestra.
