Segerstrom Center for the Arts is proud to welcome the return of the Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg with the West Coast Premiere of The Pygmalion Effect May 24–26, 2019 in Segerstrom Hall. A new ballet from the company’s award-winning artistic director and choreographer, Boris Eifman, The Pygmalion Effect is inspired by the Greek mythological tale of Pygmalion – a sculptor who became infatuated with his own life-like carving of a beautiful girl. Renowned for works that are “bold, psychological and highly theatrical” ( The New York Times), Boris Eifman infuses his signature choreographic style into this dynamic new production, set to a score by “The Waltz King” Johann Strauss II. Single tickets for The Pygmalion Effect start at $29 and are available now online at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787.
