We’re so honored that Ballet West artist Loren Walton’s mother, Lesia Hunter, has become active with Ballet West Guild!

This past weekend, Lesia (far right) and Loren welcomed family members from Louisiana, Minnesota and Texas to experience the magic of Ballet West and see Loren perform important roles in our Spring triple bill program LOVE and WAR.

We loved meeting everyone and hope we can all get together again very soon!

It’s so wonderful, how our Ballet West family continues to grow.

Today, we feel the profound loss of a true Legend.

Today, we feel the profound loss of a true Legend. Our mentor and friend, Bené Arnold passed away peacefully in her sleep. It is with honor and gratitude we mention Bené was a 2023 recipient of the Guild’s Arts Legend Award.

May her illustrious spirit continue to soar…

Bené Arnold
Former Ballet Mistress, Ballet West
Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Utah, Department of Ballet

In 1963, Bené was asked by Willam F. Christensen to be the ballet mistress for the future company, Ballet West. She served in this capacity until 1975 when she joined the University of Utah Department of Ballet faculty. She continued to perform as a guest artist in various character roles with Ballet West. And she continued for many years as the Children’s Ballet Mistress for Ballet West’s The Nutcracker.

Bené received her B.F.A. and M.F.A. from the Department of Ballet, and her B.S. in elementary education and Masters of Education in special education (teaching the deaf as her specialty) from the University of Utah.

In 1984, Bené received a citation from the Utah State Senate recognizing her contribution through ballet to the state. In 1997, she received the Chamber of Commerce Award in the Arts and the Governor’s Award in the Arts. She served on the NEA dance panel in 2007. In 1998, Bené was the first woman and only faculty member from Fine Arts and Humanities to be named Distinguished Professor. In 2001, Bené received recognition for her teaching as the KSL Teacher of the Month. When Bené retired from the University of Utah she was named Distinguished Professor Emeritus. Bené willingly answered the call when asked to return to the University of Utah in 2008 to serve as Interim Chair of the Department of Ballet.

Bené Arnold is a tour de force in the world of ballet and has influenced generations of young dancers with supreme discipline and artistry.

Our historic Capitol Theatre was built in 1913 and

Our historic Capitol Theatre was built in 1913 and originally operated as a vaudeville house under the name Orpheum Theater until 1927 when the name was changed to Capitol Theatre.

Now home to Ballet West (and other resident companies Utah Opera and JazzSLC), the 100+ year old venue is a shining beacon in our downtown arts community.

Come enjoy the nostalgic joy of Willam Christensen’s THE NUTCRACKER in this beautiful community treasure chest. Performances run through November 27th. #balletwest #capitoltheatreslc #thenutcracker 📸 @jenmalherbe
