An unprecedented collaboration between Atlanta Ballet and Big Boi, one half of the multi platinum Grammy award winning group Outkast, big is the first time that these two art forms have been combined together. Big fuses the visual experience of Atlanta’s professional ballet company and hip-hop music, performed live by Atlanta’s own Grammy Award-winning visionary. The show also features new & never heard material interwoven with a classical masterpiece such as Verdi’s La Traviata. This unique on stage experience that features a long list of talented artists is playing for a limited time April 10-13, 2008 at the historic Fox Theatre. A fundraiser benefiting the Big Kidz Foundation & and Atlanta Ballet Centre For Dance Education hosted by Big Boi and Queen Latifah will follow immediately.
