AUDITION INFORMATION:

Due to COVID-19, Feijóo Ballet School at this time will only be accepting online audition applications and videos for the 2020-2021 Season.

 

The 2020/2021 theme is "Madrigals: Dreaming of Disney". The show includes pieces that celebrate the classic music and inspiring characters from Disney that we know and love. This will be the fifth season of The Madrigals. Past performances include the SPA's HEB Performance Preludes at Jones Hall, The Houston Children's Festival, Grand Kids Festival by The Grand Opera House in Galveston, The Pasadena Strawberry Festival and several elementary school carnivals in our area. Additionally, The Madrigals perform at retirement homes during the holidays and this past season they were invited to be cast members in all major performances with the Bay Area Houston Ballet & Theatre.

 

The Madrigals rehearse on Saturdays from 9:00 to 11:00 AM

Given the circumstances we find ourselves in, we understand that everyone is doing the best they can.
