THE LITTLE MERMAID
With Fion Lee of The Royal Danish Ballet
Yellowstone Ballet Company (YBC) presents "The Little Mermaid" on Thursday, June 18th 6:30 p.m. at the Willson Auditorium, Bozeman.
The title role of the “Little Mermaid” will be danced by Fiona Lee of the world renown Royal Danish Ballet. Ms. Lee started training at the Yellowstone Ballet Academy at age five and danced at the school for nine years. She then received a full scholarship for the School of American Ballet’s (SAB) summer program in New York City and was invited to continue at the school. She packed her bags, left her carefree Montana childhood behind and moved to the Big Apple to learn the rigorous Balanchine-style ballet technique. During the Covid lockdown she auditioned for the Royal Danish Ballet and was accepted into the famous company.
The role of the “Prince” will be performed by Marko Micov of the Milwaukee Ballet. Local dancers perform as Mermaids, Polypi, Anemones, Jellyfish, Sailors and Daughters of the Air.
Daniel Parker, former conductor of the Hartford Ballet, composed the captivating score interwoven with moving narration of the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale (not Disney version) by orator Robert Worobec.
