Carl Davis's Ballets Performed Across America

Mar. 01, 2020

With American ballet companies announcing their 20/21 seasons, Carl Davis’s prominence in the field has been confirmed, with several of his scores scheduled for high-profile performances. His colorful and engaging Aladdin, with choreography by David Bintley, will be staged by Houston Ballet in June 2021, while Alice in Wonderland appears in both Tulsa (March 2021) and Pittsburgh (May 2021) with choreography by Derek Dean.

In February 2021, Colorado Ballet presents Carl Davis’s The Great Gatsby with choreography by Jorden Morris. Carl Davis's score is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s brilliant fable of hedonistic excess and tragic reality in 1920s America and was written for Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre in 2019. Davis's scores conjures both the shimmering Jazz Age and the destructive obsession which drives Gatsby’s world to unravel.  The ballet has been so successful that Davis is currently creating a Great Gatsby Suite for orchestra.
