Colorado Ballet
Carmina Burana Invitation and Backstage Pass

      Colorado Ballet has a rich history. One of Colorado's oldest and most accomplished arts institutions, it is the only organization of its size and stature to produce classical ballet in Colorado.

    Colorado Ballet had its beginnings in a ballet school founded in 1951 by native Denverites. Today, they perform many top quality ballets like Carmina Burana, the Nutcracker and Dracula.

    Carmina Burana is a powerful ballet that tells the story of good versus evil in the world. The invitation was specially designed to explain the atmosphere and contrasting emotions portrayed to people who had never experienced it.

    Tickets for the Dress Circle Party were included in the invitation and are one of the highlights of the year, not only for people invited, but for the dancers and crew of each show. Two hours prior to the show, everyone meets backstage to do a hands-on tour of the show by experiencing the sets, the costumes, and the choreography as demonstrated by the dancers.

    These pieces express the passion and strife in Carmina Burana. The lyrics from the ballet were painstakingly translated and added to the invitation to give insight to the ballet's emotions. Color and layout in both printed pieces symbolize the struggle for power. All of these elements came together to show those who received the invitations that they were in for one spectacular evening.
