Large, luminous fire torches along the Scioto River and Columbus’ skyline created an extraordinary backdrop for a brilliant performance Friday night by BalletMet.

The production, part of Music in the Air’s Rhythm on the River series, previewed the dance company’s upcoming season.

BalletMet delighted the crowd at Riverfront Amphitheater with excerpts from some of its new pieces as well as classic favorites, including the action-packed Great Gatsby, the graceful Swan Lake, the sexy Carmina Burana, and the comedic Call it Off.

The show opens with a lively swing/jazz routine from Gatsby and goes out with a bang with scenes from Bang, Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) and Bourbon Street.

There is an array of dance styles and music throughout the production. The entire season is described as “eclectic,” said Jennifer Sciantarelli, communications manager, BalletMet. There is “truly something for everybody.”

The season starts in October with Swan Lake featuring a pas de deux by Zoica Tovar and Andres Estevez.
