This year PNB is celebrating the 100th anniversary of Jerome Robbins’ birth with a Jerome Robbins Festival. Artistic Director Peter Boal created two separate programs using seven of the twelve Robbins’ pieces in the PNB repertory. Tickets for the two programs are sold separately. It’s a lot of ballet for one weekend, but I think it’s worth attending both programs. If you have to pick one, Program A is a little easier to process. That said, I think I liked Program B best.

This year PNB is celebrating the 100th anniversary of Jerome Robbins’ birth with a Jerome Robbins Festival. Artistic Director Peter Boal created two separate programs using seven of the twelve Robbins’ pieces in the PNB repertory. Tickets for the two programs are sold separately. I recommend seeing both, but it’s a lot of ballet to take in all at once. So what if you can only make it to one? Here is my take on Jerome Robbins Festival Program A. Read More

If you’ve been to the ballet more than a few times, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve seen something by Jerome Robbins. Pacific Northwest Ballet has 12 of his ballets in their repertory (New York City Ballet has sixty). This year PNB is celebrating the 100th anniversary of his birth by kicking off their 2018 season with a Jerome Robbins Festival. For balletomanes, this is a major opportunity to see some of the most beloved works of a man who made modern ballet what it is. But why would normal people bother to see two whole programs by someone they’ve never heard of?

Ticket Season, Part Two: Pacific Northwest Ballet

16-17-renew“I love tickets!” squeals Cameron Diaz’s character in the first Charlie’s Angels movie. (And why has no one ever made a gif of that?) It’s supposed to illustrate what an eccentric character she is, but I understand completely. I love tickets. And spring is ticket season. Season-ticket season, to be precise. All of the arts organizations announce their upcoming seasons, tickets go on sale, and I spend hours each spring planning what I will be doing on Saturday nights all next winter. I’ve already written about next season’s offerings at Seattle Opera. Now let’s talk about ballet.  Read More
