A romantic touch with Sarasota Ballet
The Sarasota Ballet revisits two popular works from past seasons with its fifth digital program this weekend. Ballet lovers can experience “Amorosa,” a 2019 piece by principal dancer and resident choreographer Ricardo Graziano that is being performed for the first time since its premiere. It is set to Antonio Vivaldi’s “Cello Concertos.” Also on the program is George Balanchine’s 1960 ballet “Donizetti Variations,” which is danced to music from Gaetano Donizetti’s opera “Don Sebastian.” The program is available Friday through Tuesday for $35.

Despite the demise of a previous incarnation of the Sarasota Jewish Theater, director Carole Kleinberg is eager to prove that the community is ready for, and needs, a new, more professional version.
She admits the timing could be better – opening a theater in the middle of a pandemic adds to the challenge – but she is moving forward in leading a revival of SJT with a series of online performances that begin Jan. 31.
“There are 38,000 Jewish households in the Sarasota-Manatee area – that’s households, not individuals,” said Kleinberg, the former artistic director of the late Banyan Theater in Sarasota. “It seems to me in a community with 38,000 households and in a world where haters have been able to crawl out from under rocks and felt permission to spread their anti-Semitism and fear of others, that there should be a vehicle for spreading positive elements of Jewish history, culture, literature and humor.”
