[*]Pacific Northwest Ballet: Balanchine's Petipa

Friday, May 14 and Saturday, May 15

These are always fascinating programs. but I saw the above here in Seattle, and think it will be particularly special.

I just checked the PNB schedule, and while the company will be in rehearsal for "Coppelia" (and, hopefully, a season wrap-up program), there is no performance conflict near or on these dates.

The format in Seattle has been lecture/demo, and if the format holds for these, the Guggenheim audience will see beautiful reconstructions danced by beautiful dancers. Here's hoping that Nakamura and Postlewaite will perform excerpts from "La Bayadere" -- to die for.
