Ballet West held a final dress rehearsal Thursday for "Journeys and Reflections," a triple-bill that CEO and artistic director Adam Sklute calls "one of the most diverse and compelling programs" in the company's history. The program, opening Friday, includes three works: George Balanchine's "Chaconne," Utah native choreographer Garrett Smith's "Facades" and the company premiere of Kurt Jooss' meditation of war, "The Green Table."

Those attending the company's spring edition of Beer and Ballet on Thursday also received a sneak preview of "Facades."

The program is the company's last of the season at the Capitol Theatre, before closing this year with its latest foray into innovation and collaboration for the National Choreographic Festival (May 19-27), to be held in the new Eccles Theater on Main Street.
