Ravinia Festival held its first festival in June 1905 and since then it has gained a reputation for being THE summer music festival to be a part of. The outdoor venue becomes a cornucopia of diversity and music, repeatedly giving audiences an unforgettable festival experience. They are excited for their 2024 programme, where over 100 performances will take place this year. One that is particularly exciting is that Joffrey Ballet will be taking over the stage for one night to give an emotional, but also uplifting rendition of their production, Rita Finds Home.
The outdoor venue is the perfect place to experience Rita Finds Home. The gently wooded 36-acre park always adds an enchanting feel to music, but added with the astounding talents of the dancers as they narrate the tale of Rita, it creates an unforgettable, magical experience. Do not miss out and secure your tickets today! You won’t regret being at The Pavilion on the 14th of September to enjoy the beautiful exploration of home and self-belief as Joffrey Ballet performs Rita Finds Home.
Rita Finds Home first premiered in 2022 and was a collaboration between Joffrey Ballet and Miami City Ballet. Rita Finds Home is the story of Rita, a young painter who wants to leave her home island and chase her dreams of living in the big city as an artist. The dancers show her struggles to adapt to a different home after a hurricane unexpectedly storms through her home island, and her journey to re-defining what home means. Chavarri’s watercolours accompany the ballet, with props like dancing butterflies and beautiful transforming costumes that create an immersive set and story. Working closely with dancers-on-the-rise, the Joffrey creative team focused on making the production suitable for all ages and to explore the importance of belonging and resilience.
We cannot think of a better way to immerse yourself and your family in a story that will lift, inspire and bring people together. Let Joffrey Ballet take your on a journey that celebrates art and home and book your tickets today!
