Dear Patron,

Greetings from New Orleans Ballet Theatre! As the year comes to a close, we’d like to take a moment and reflect how our recent achievements would not have been possible without the gracious support of patrons like you. Your support has allowed us to expand significantly and further solidify our place as the premier ballet company in New Orleans and beyond. As you know, consistent financial support is the life-blood of an organization that aims for outstanding artistic quality, and I hope we can count on you.

Though NOBT was first established as a pick-up company for seasonal work, its long-term plan has always been to shift to a full-time company. In NOBT’s landmark 2019-2020 season, the company was delighted to have five full-time resident dancers on contract and present its first full season of concert dance. Now 5 years later, NOBT proudly boasts 15 company members and an expanded trainee program with 7 artists. Having a resident company has been our goal since our inception, and having realized our dream, we look forward to continue sharing the amazing talent and work of these uniquely gifted artists here in our city.

Now in our 22nd year of bringing excellent concert dance to New Orleans and beyond, NOBT has had an ambitious and exciting line-up of programming for the 2024-2025 Season: We kicked off the season with our newest full-length production, Dracula, to rave reviews, and we are currently preparing for 9 performances of the Nutcracker this December at the Orpheum Theater. Next spring brings “Director’s Cut” to the Civic Theater on Feb. 1st, followed by free outdoor performances at the UNO Amphitheater. The season will end will the timeless full-length ballet Giselle, this May 10th-11th, 2025 at the Orpheum.

We ask today, if you are able, to make a contribution in any amount to help support New Orleans Ballet Theatre. As the only professional classical ballet company in New Orleans, we owe it to our community to continue to produce excellent art. We strongly believe that audience members of all ages are educated, energized, and changed by access to thoughtful, high-quality concert dance. Your contribution will help launch NOBT into its next 20 years of growth, inspiring a new generation of artists and patrons with innovative works.

Sincerely,

Gregory Schramel, Artistic Director
