Juilliard Man Tutu 2

Juilliard Opera - Bartered Bride

Check out Class Act’s “man tutu” featured in performances of Smetana’s “The Bartered Bride”, a co-production of the Metropolitan Opera and The Juilliard School.

Class Act was honored to have provided the Juilliard costume shop with the tutu skirt used to create this fun tutu “worn by a man playing a bearded lady in a circus”.

Costume design for this production was by designer extraordinaire, Martin Pakledinaz.  Tutu bodice and embellishment created by the Juilliard costume shop.

“Martin Pakledinaz’s colorful costumes included a fun outfit for a ballet dancer in drag, and Benjamin Millepied choreographed breezy routines for members of Juilliard Dance.” ~ Ronald Blum, Associated Press

The world-famous Cirque du Soleil returns to Redmond Washington’s Marymoor Park with KOOZA, June 3-July 2.  Currently in its fourth year, KOOZA ”is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil: It combines two circus traditions – acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in a colorful mélange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor.” ~ Quote Cirque du Soleil.com

 This magnificent performance features a cast of 53 brilliant artists, including acrobats, musicians and dancers. Oh, and speaking of dancers (wink-wink!), here’s an exciting piece of news for you! The program’s artistic director, Adam Miller is a former principal with Pacific Northwest Ballet (1980-1986)!  Isn’t that amazing?  You can read all about it here.
