Ballet San Jose to perform 'The Tempest'
Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley has filled in the mysterious blank on its 2002-03 season lineup - and filled it in a most spectacular way - with Michael Smuin's The Tempest.

The production, a full-length story ballet based on Shakespeare's play and featuring music by Paul Chihara after Henry Purcell, takes place April 3-6. The Tempest requires more than 80 costumes reflective of the magic, monsters and myth of the original play.

The ballet company opens its season Oct. 17-20 with The Choreography of Dennis Nahat in three pieces of choreography that include the premiere of Prince Igor.
