IBT presents "Chipollino"

International Ballet Theatre returns to the Meydenbauer Theatre to celebrate spring with their live performance of "Chipollino"!
In this visually engaging presentation Chipollino, or Little Onion, challenges the unjust treatment of his fellow vegetables by the fruit royalty (Prince Lemon and the overly proud Lord Tomato) in the garden kingdom. The themes running throughout the performance are good versus evil, and the importance of friendship in the face of difficulties.
Chipollino is great live… Show more theatre entertainment for the entire family!

Cipollino (or Chipollino) is a fictional character from Gianni Rodan's eponymous Tale of Cipollino (Italian: Il romanzo di Cipollino Chippolino), also known under its 1957 renamed title of Adventures of Cipollino (Italian: Le avventure di Cipollino).
The story of Chipollino was popular enough to have a ballet staged in Ukrainian Academic Ballet and Opera Theatre named after T. Shevchenko in 1974, with original music composed by Karen Khachaturian and choreography by Genrik Alexandrovich Maiorov.
