Today, Atlanta Ballet announced its 2013-2014 season which will feature several Company's premiere and a world premiere including premiere of 'Roméo et Juliette,' 'Secus,' 'Seven Sonatas,' and world premiere of 'Camino Real.'
The company strives to push the limits this year with an interesting and vibrant program. The new season's premiere of Roméo et Juliette by Les Ballet de Monte-Carlo's Jean-Christophe Maillot is the full evening ballet which was previously performed by Seattle's Pacific Northwest Ballet and received great reviews.

April will belong to 'Hamlet' in its modern interpretation followed by a world premiere by Helen Pickett 'Camino Real.'
Atlanta Ballet artistic director John McFall comments the new season, "It's always exciting to announce a new season, but one of this caliber is truly exhilarating."
McFall continues, "We'll be representing some of the most notable choreographers from around the world, while continuing to foster new talent and usher in the next generation of dance makers. This season embodies our commitment to create a distinct artistic profile for Atlanta Ballet. Our dancers have never looked stronger, and we are proud to bring compelling performances of extraordinary works to our audiences."
