Lincoln Hwy. DeKalb, IL. Tickets are on sale now at all Ticketmaster locations, Convo Box, ticketmaster.com, or you can charge by phone at 312-559-1212. Ticket prices for regular, youth, senior, group, and Gold Circle seats range from $16.00 to $29.00. The 37th Anniversary season of The Lipizzaner Stallions features all new music, choreography and routines that display the historical background and foundation of the Lipizzaner breed, from its use as a horse of war, to a horse of nobility and aristocracy, to today’s living form of equestrian art. The show emulates the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria and maintains a traditional as well as entertaining performance similar in many ways to what you would see in Vienna. The Lipizzans prance, march and intricately weave their way across the floor to music in a spectacular ballet of four-footed white stallions. The Lipizzaners will also treat you to a special segment, "Airs Above the Ground," full of spectacular leaps and maneuvers, once used by riders in saddle to protect and defend on the battlefield, now preserved as an equestrian work of art. When you see the Lipizzans perform, it is like stepping back four hundred years and viewing one of the greatest equine ballets in history. The Lipizzan is a rare and unique breed, with fewer than 3,000 still alive today. Although the Lipizzans star in this presentation, the ancestral forefather of the Lipizzan, the Spanish Andalusian is featured as well. Not only is the Andalusian shown in saddle, but also in a unique presentation where the rider performs all the maneuvers of the Grand Prix Olympic level dressage on the longline, while walking behind the horse and guiding him through his paces. This event is perfect for ages. Bring your family friends to DeKalb on February 15th to enjoy the unique performances of the Lipizzaner Stallions.
