Two Bournonville Ballets—A Celebration of Drama, Romance, and Joy.

La Ventana (“The Window”) and The Kermesse in Bruges are two vastly different ballets by August Bournonville, yet together they demonstrate his remarkable ability to portray drama, romance, comedy, and poetry.

La Ventana and The Kermesse in Bruges

Royal Danish Opera

Four years after its originally-scheduled PNB premiere, Alejandro Cerrudo’s complete One Thousand Pieces will finally take to the McCaw Hall stage. Cerrudo’s large-scale ensemble work is inspired by the work of artist Marc Chagall and features music from Philip Glass. Paired with the revelry and joy of Matthew Neenan’s made-for-PNB Bacchus.

One Thousand Pieces

Seattle Center

On the three-year anniversary of the March 2020 closure, some of PNB’s favorite pandemic-era collaborators share the McCaw Hall stage. Alejandro Cerrudo, Jessica Lang, and Penny Saunders consistently turn their creative minds toward the dance world and theatrical conventions. They seek to improve upon and play with our expectations, and push boundaries, both metaphorically and physically. Savor Saunders’ theater-roving Wonderland and world premieres from Cerrudo and Lang.

Boundless

Firebird is back after a 20-year hiatus! Ming Cho Lee’s breathtaking sets, the epic Stravinsky score, and choreography from PNB Founding Artistic Director Kent Stowell work in harmony in this theatrical one-act ballet. Balanced perfectly by Alejandro Cerrudo’s most playful work, Little mortal jump, and the rock ‘n roll drama of Ulysses Dove’s Red Angels, this fiery production will keep you on your toes from start to finish.
