Oklahoma City Ballet is delighted to partner with Nashville
Ballet to bring DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS to the Oklahoma City

that immerses audiences in the vibrant traditions of Mexican
culture. The performance showcases key elements such as an
ofrenda (a traditional altar honoring the departed), costumes

(colorful folk-art sculptures), and the evocative sounds of live
mariachis.
