Ballet Gets Temporary Digs at DPAC  March 14th, 2014 | WMFE, Orlando- Orlando Ballet has a temporary home for next season- at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. [Artist's rendering of the acoustical theater that will house the ballet.

In the meantime, the ballet will perform its 2014-2015 season at the center’s 2,700 seat Walt Disney Theater, which opens in November. The Dr. Phillips Center announced Friday afternoon it would give the ballet $150,000 to offset the cost of using the Walt Disney theater for the season. The yet to be built 1,700 seat acoustic theater will also house the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra. |
