From working with the choreographer behind “West Side Story” to hosting a summer dance festival — and now bringing an epic classic to (new) life — Nashville Ballet’s 2023-24 season continues to keep audiences excited about a mixed repertoire that is both classical and contemporary (and always inventive).
That’s why we’re excited to partner with Nashville Ballet to give NASHtoday readers a chance to win two tickets ($180 value) to see “Romeo and Juliet”(think: perfect for a date night or girls night out).
Playing Saturday, April 20-Sunday, April 21, the performance promises lush period costumes, action-packed fight scenes, and live music by the Nashville Symphony. Here’s how to enter for a chance to be mesmerized by the beautiful production:
