Made in Washington: A 50th Season Finale at Wolf Trap
Made in Washington: A 50th Season Finale at Wolf Trap is a one-night-only performance by The Washington Ballet, closing the company's landmark 50th season with a celebration of its artistic legacy. Held under the summer sky at Wolf Trap's Filene Center, the evening features three contemporary works originally created in Washington, D.C., each reflecting a distinct emotional and musical world. Trey McIntyre’s *Blue Until June* channels raw heartbreak through the soulful vocals of Etta James; Edwaard Liang’s *Wunderland* evokes a dreamlike landscape set to Philip Glass’s mesmerizing compositions; and Septime Webre’s *Juanita y Alicia* offers a warm tribute to family heritage with traditional Cuban rhythms performed live by a band. The performance brings together three choreographers who have shaped the company’s identity during its five-decade history.
