Pacific Northwest Ballet's Rep 1 delivers a magnificent first installment of their 2020-2021 virtual season.

Sumptuous costumes, brilliant colors, excellent dancers create a glorious show which is unfortunately too long for the material.

A finale to Pacific Northwest’s Ballet’s 2018-1019 season sends the audience home with memories of satisfying new work, appreciation of the old, and shaken to the core by a Limón performance.

A very fine performance, notable for the musicality which imbued each dancer’s presence and the excellent acting which kept the audience glued to the story.

This season's Director's Choice presents three works by choreographers Justin Peck, Alejandro Cerrudo and Paul Gibson, who, according to PNB Artistic Director Peter Boal, are among the "truly gifted" of our time.

As the audience, our relationship with Körbes and Gaines as PNB dancers has ended, but the future holds new beginnings.

PNB presents Ratmansky's Concerto DSCH together with Kent Stowell's Carmina Burana in their final program of the season.

Forsythe nurtures dancers' individuality and adds another facet to the Pacific Northwest Ballet's artistry.  

Pacific Northwest Ballet presented an interesting and mostly very good repertory program at the Joyce with standout performances by James Moore and Carla Korbes. These are some of the finest dancers around, espectially the women.
