World premiere

This Halloween sees the world premiere of this new adaptation of Washington Irving's most bewitching tale, created by Robert Weiss and Carolina Ballet's Choreographer in residence Zalman Raffael. A beloved classic of American literature, prepare to be scared by the figure of the frightful Headless Horseman, but not half as much as Ichabod Crane, the poor school teacher who encounters him.

Written in 1820, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow soon captured the public's imagination with its story of a supernatural equestrian and his nightly quest to find his missing head. Nearly 200 years later it still manages to thrill and captivate new readers and audiences especially during the year's spookiest holiday!
