Tonight, we opened our 25/26 season with Moving Art One: Passion & Power at VMFA. Audiences were swept away by the Virginia premiere of Trey McIntyre’s heartfelt ‘Wild Sweet Love’ and the world premiere of Ma Cong’s ‘Piensa en Mí,’ inspired by the life and art of Frida.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this unforgettable evening — we can’t wait to share the rest of the run with you!
Performances continue through Sept 21 | Best availability on Sept 21 at 4:30pm | richmondballet.com/movingartone
