The Masque Of The Red Death – Carolina Ballet

The Masque of the Red Death – Carolina Ballet transports viewers to a decadent masquerade full of colorful costumes designed by David Heuvel. In sharp juxtaposition to the festive theme are rigid dances and a frightening figure that represents death itself. Effectively danced by Gabor Kapin, Death is easily the most memorable performance of the evening. The prince (Timour Bourtasekov) and duchess (Melissa Podcasy) also turn out high energy performances as the music and choreography blend to create a perfectly eerie atmosphere.
