World Premiere of ‘Whipped Cream’ at Segerstrom Center
03.08.17
In honor of South Coast Plaza’s 50th anniversary celebration, Segerstrom Center for the Arts presents the World Premiere of American Ballet Theatre’s new production of Whipped Cream, choreographed by ABT artist in residence Alexei Ratmansky, with sets and costumes by pop-surrealist Mark Ryden.
Opening night on Wednesday, March 15 is also the 50th anniversary of South Coast Plaza. There will be seven performances running from March 15 – 19, in Segerstrom Hall. Whipped Cream will then go on to the Metropolitan Opera, Lincoln Center in NYC.
Whipped Cream is based on Schlagobers, a two-act ballet with libretto and score by Richard Strauss that was first performed at the Vienna State Opera in 1924.
The inventive full-length premiere tells the story of a young boy who after indulging at a Viennese pastry shop finds himself suffering the effects. To the rescue in his dreamy state is Princess Praline and her court, as well as Princess Tea Flower, Prince Coffee and Marzipan, concluding in a festive celebration. Richard Strauss' score is the perfect inspiration for this all-new production destined to delight ballet fans of all ages.
Tickets to American Ballet Theatre’s Whipped Cream start at $29 and are available at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office located at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa. 714.556.2787. A free Preview Talk will be given one hour prior to each performance.
