BLOOM!

Ventana Ballet & Austin Camerata till the soil of the Austin arts scene and plant the seeds of a brand-new evening-length work entitled, Flower Shop. Though the world premiere of Flower Shop is scheduled for its blossoming debut in September 2026, these local-favorite arts organizations plan to unfold some secrets and a sneak preview of the ballet at their short, three-show-only event, BLOOM!, which will take place at East Side Performing Arts on April 29th through May 2nd. BLOOM! is a limited engagement, and if you’ve seen Ventana Ballet or Austin Camerata before, you know that these shows will assuredly sell out. The night grows from the roots of some of the co-company's most beloved works to something no audience has ever seen: Act I of Flower Shop, a brand-new ballet set to an original piano quartet by American composer Michael Alec Rose. Guests of BLOOM! will be among the first to experience this world premiere before its full debut in September 2026. Ventana Ballet Director, AJ Garcia-Rameau shared, “We are extremely excited to share this new work, inviting the audience to step inside a flower shop where the flowers aren't quite what they seem. It will be an intimate evening of contemporary ballet, live strings, and piano—performed just feet away from our guests at the brand-new black-box theater space at East Side Performing Arts in East Austin.” “It’s a wonderful honor to play Michael’s music again. We last played his music with Ventana Ballet for our premiere of BEAUTIFUL WORLD in 2022 at KMFA, and it was an exhilarating experience for artists and audience alike,” shared Austin Camerata’s Artistic Director, Daniel Kopp.
