Tickets are on sale now! Call 217-206-6160 or click HERE to visit Sangamon Auditorium's website. BUNN and Carrollton Bank proudly present the Springfield Ballet Company's 23rd annual production of Rockballet featuring music from LEGENDARY artists Prince, Michael Jackson and Queen! 

Rockballet is going to be an unforgettable performance!

Choreographers who set new works for this production include Joshua Blake Carter (Giordano Dance Chicago); Hernan Justo (Artistic Director, Carolina Ballet Theatre); Elizabeth Chapman (Principal Dancer, Georgia Ballet); Todd Kiech (Chicago-based actor and choreographer); Madeline and Matthew Harvey (Instructors, University of South Carolina); and Vanessa Woods (St. Louis Ballet).

Since its 1994 debut, SBC's annual production of Rockballet continues to be daringly different. The brainchild of SBC Artistic Director, Julie Ratz, Rockballet is a vivid and exciting mix of adventurous choreography, memorable music and high-intensity dancing. A multimedia celebration of dance and rock music, Rockballet has had a stunning impact on the way central Illinois views classical dance.

This year's media sponsor is WYMG.

It is music visualized. Thank you to Patrick Russell for images from our 2015 production of Rockballet and for our 2016 artwork.
