As if I needed another reason to love my favorite local arts institutions, the way groups like Seattle Opera and Pacific Northwest Ballet have responded to the pandemic has been amazing. Not only have they managed to survive without their normal revenue streams in a time when live theater performances are banned, but they have produced new, creative work that would not have been possible – even conceivable – in normal times. The most recent example is Pacific Northwest Ballet’s Intermission Project, a midseason collection of short filmed ballets.
