Looking for

a ballet bargain?

The Atlanta

Ballet will present two ballets for the price of one when they present

"Ramblin' Suite" and "Carmen," Thursday, Oct. 31 -

Sunday, Nov. 3 at the Fox Theatre.

"Ramblin'

Suite" will feature a live performance by the North Carolina String

Band known as the Red Clay Ramblers. The band plays a mixture of Dixieland,

bluegrass, country, rock and gospel. They have been together for 30 years

and have won a Tony award. The Atlanta Ballet will perform the "Ramblin'

Suite," which was choreographed by Diane Coburn-Bruning, who has

produced over 30 ballets in 16 years.

"Carmen"

is the classic ballet set to the music of Georges Bizet. Carmen is a seductive

gypsy who weaves a love triangle between herself and two men, Don Jose

and Escamillo. The ballet features a Spanish influence in music, dance

and style. The ballet caused a stir when it was first released in 1875

but continues to be looked at as one of the first contemporary ballets

of its time and a ballet that changed the art forever.

Showtimes for

"Ramblin' Suite" and "Carmen" are 7:30 p.m. Thursday,

8 p.m. Friday, 2 and 8 p.m. on Saturday and 2 and 7 p.m. on Sunday.
