Details

Houston Ballet ignites the stage this fall with Rock, Roll & Tutus, a high-energy mixed repertory program running September 18 through 25, 2025, at the Wortham Theater Center. Featuring four expressive and artistically bold works, this vibrant program fuses classical technique with the rhythm of modern life. With choreography from Ishida, Christopher Bruce, Jacquelyn Long, and Artistic Director Stanton Welch AM, it’s an unforgettable blend of emotion, music, and movement.

“Being part of this program is such a unique experience—it’s truly a celebration of how versatile ballet can be,” said Jacquelyn Long, Houston Ballet Soloist and choreographer of Illuminate. “To present my first ballet on a mixed repertory program alongside such powerful and diverse works is incredibly exciting. I’m honored to share the stage with these talented choreographers and dancers, and to be part of a program that pushes creative boundaries while honoring ballet’s roots.”
