HEART OF STORM--the internationally acclaimed one-of-a-kind live rock concert and Russian ballet experience--made its dynamic premiere in Los Angeles at the opulent Orpheum Theatre late last month (July 24-25). Download photos from the debut of HEART OF STORM (here).

In celebration of its U.S. debut, Red Rock Ballet--the production company behind HEART OF STORM--donated $15,000 dollars to Jay Nolan Community Services--a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization that assists children and adults with Autism and other developmental disabilities.

HEART OF STORM is played live and loud by an all-star band including renowned keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Kiss, Billy Idol), drummer Gregg Bissonette (Ringo Starr, Electric Light Orchestra), lead guitar Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio, Revolution Saints), bassist Tony Franklin (The Firm, Jimmy Page, Paul Rodgers, David Gilmour, Whitesnake), electric and all acoustic guitars Brent Woods(Sebastian Bach, Vince Neil, Kristin Chenoweth) and alto saxophonist  Brandon Fields(Tower Of Power, George Benson). The music that was created needed a strong visual, so the group teamed with the young and talented Russian-Korean choreographer Stas Tsoy.The music, performance, and visuals come together to tell this unforgettable tale of a young Major named Storm as he travels to the depths of the labyrinth of Life, Death and Love.

The hybrid rock concert fused with stunning Russian ballet talent--spanning the Bolshoi Theatre, Swan Lake and the Nutcracker--inherits the tradition of classical ballet, while charting new territory into live, emotional theater. Look out for news soon about the return of HEART OF STORM.
