With guest artist Wendy Whelan, principal, and the New York City Ballet

Special NOBA commissioned world premiere

Choreographer Dwight Rhoden and superhuman dancer Desmond Richardson, bring their sleek, daredevil company back to New Orleans. Richardson will be retiring from the company as a dancer this season, and as a special tribute, NOBA has commissioned a new duet to live New Orleans jazz for Richardson and New York City Ballet Principal dancer Wendy Whelan. This event marks the first time these beloved American superstars have danced together in their illustrious careers.
