A triple bill by three choreographers with global acclaim

The Pacific Northwest Ballet was back on stage in Seattle’s McCaw Hall in September of 2021, dancing for a live audience for the first time since the pandemic closed dance studios and theaters worldwide. Yet as welcome as that return to in-person performing was, PNB chose not to do away with the digital programming that had been its only option for over a year.

From June 18th to June 22nd, PNB’s final digital performance of the 2020-2021 season bids a bittersweet good-bye to seven dancers who are leaving to begin new chapters of their lives.

PNB’s eminently satisfying all-digital season for 2020-2021 continues with Rep 6, livestreamed from June 10th to June 14th, 2021.

PNB’s Digital Season continues from May 6th to May 10th 2021 with a delightful archival recording from 2016 of PNB’s production of George Balanchine’s “Coppélia”, choreographed by Mr. B and Alexandra Danilova to the music of Léo Delibes.

Pacific Northwest Ballet will be bidding an adieux passionnés to principal dancers Jerome Tisserand and Laura Tisserand at the end of the company’s 2020-2021 season: The couple have announced that they will be leaving Seattle this summer, to accept positions with Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo.

He will be greatly missed.

Pacific Northwest Ballet School’s annual “Spring Fling”, including an archival video from 2018 of students performing Jerome Robbins’ “Fanfare”, is online now until May 3rd.

PNB’s all-digital season continues with Rep 4, a varied and enjoyable triple bill that streams from April 1st to April 5th 2021. Digital ticket holders can watch as many times as they like until the link expires.

As PNB’s digital offerings continue, Price Suddath’s innovative “The Intermission Project” is offered free to all from March 8th to March 24th 2021.
