Unable to return home because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Kyiv City Ballet and Texas Ballet Theater will share the Bass Performance Hall stage tonight.
Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth reflected on war through a 'Tribute to Peace', a performance by the Kyiv City Ballet.
"We've all seen the scenes of war in Ukraine, and it's heartbreaking," Performing Arts Fort Worth President and CEO Dione Kennedy said. The Kyiv City Ballet got on a plane in February for a scheduled tour in Paris. The next day, Russia invaded Ukraine. That prompted an impromptu tour that landed in Fort Worth Monday.
"They could not go back home," Kennedy said."So it just became more important it seemed for people in the United State to see what they do as an art form."Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
