Orchestra Iowa and Ballet Quad Cities present the ballet “Alice in Wonderland,” one performance only in Cedar Rapids, Friday, March 16 at the Paramount Theatre.
Tim Hankewich explains that the music was not written expressly for this ballet. Rather, several Tchaikovsky pieces of music written for young people were arranged for orchestra by the National Ballet of England to create this work. All of the familiar characters are there: Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Chestire Cat, the Caterpillar, etc. But re-imagined in a way that brings new light to this famous story.
