American Repertory Ballet (ARB) continues its dynamic 2024-2025 season with the breathtaking world premiere of Ethan Stiefel's SPIRIT OF THE HIGHLANDS on Friday, March 7 through Sunday, March 9, 2025 at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center.

Building off of the classic story, a young Scotsman named James Munro is betrothed to a woman named Effie, when he catches sight of a mystical fairy, known as The Sylph. Entranced by her magical beauty, he abandons Effie to follow The Sylph into the forest to proclaim his devotion. However, through his pursuits, he is tricked by evil witch Madge and eventually loses everything he holds dear.

Tickets for SPIRIT OF THE HIGHLANDS range from $30 to $60. ADA seating is available. Running time is approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes with one intermission.
