  • Spain Tour

    19 July 2007

    Boston Ballet embarked on its first international tour in over 15 years heading to Spain for the first time since 1991. The six-week tour was one of the largest in company history and took the company to seven festivals throughout the country. The Company presented two programs, including Sorella Englund’s staging of August Bournonville’s La Sylphide, and an all-Balanchine evening.

     

    The company was met with resounding critical acclaim and sold-out performances. Boston Ballet was honored to have her royal highness, Queen Sophia of Spain, in the audience for a performance during the tour.
