The timeless tale "Romeo and Juliet",
Brought ballet's magic, a dance duet.
It captivated, it warmed the heart,
With its heroes, we felt a part.
A month on, curtains rose once more,
Our theater's stage set to explore:
"Swan Lake" ballet, a radiant show,
Told of love's power to bestow!
And finally, on Christmas Eve,
"The Nutcracker" play did a fairy tale weave!
Wonderful music with a magical dance,
Bestowed upon us eternal light in its expanse!
