Dia de los Muertos with Bluegrass Youth Ballet

The Bluegrass Youth Ballet brings its signature ballet to the stage on Nov. 1 & 2 with two performances of “Dia de los Muertos.”

Audiences follow Estelita’s family in a small village in Mexico as they prepare to celebrate Dia de los Muertos—a festive celebration in memory of those who have died.

A sudden death forces the family to experience how precious life is and celebrate every moment of it.

A bilingual (Spanish/English) slideshow explains the holiday at the beginning followed by the touching and visually stunning ballet.

Showtimes are 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1 and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2.

Tickets start at $18 and are available online here. Lexington Opera House, 401 W. Short St. Info: 233-3535.
