OBT’s 2011–2012 SEASON UNVEILED: AFFAIRS OF THE HEART
OBT offers a multitude of trysts in our 2011–12 Season with 4 World Premieres and 2 Company Premieres.
Oregon Ballet Theatre unravels the mysteries of the human heart this season with the help of toreadors and tortured artists, country girls and conjurers in the just announced 2011–2012 season. Our Fall Program will feature World Premiere Petrouchka from Nicolo Fonte coupled with the World Premiere of Carmen from Christopher Stowell. The holiday season features the return of Christopher Stowell’s popular A Holiday Revue and George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker. The heart of our Winter program is the World Premiere of Lola de Avila’s Giselle. In the spring we bring a mixed repertory program, Chromatic Quartet, which features Company Premiere George Balanchine’s Stravinsky Violin Concerto, Company Premiere Christopher Wheeldon’s Liturgy, Val Caniparoli’s Lambarena and a World Premiere new work.
In the 2011–12 Season four productions will be performed in the Keller Auditorium, two in the Newmark Theatre. Season subscriptions and more information is available from Oregon Ballet Theatre.
