Celebrating
a Master
of Dance
Oregon Ballet Theatre wraps up a very
dynamic season with an evening dedicated
to a 20th century m aster, George
Balanchine.
On the 30th anniversary of Balanchine’s
death, OBT celebrates the diversity of his
contribution to dance with three different
examples of his prolific choreography.
Balanchine was by turns nostalgic and
innovative and the audience will catch a
glimpse of the immense depth of his 60-
year career as a choreographer.
Opening Friday, June 14, and continuing
through Sunday, June 16, the four perfor
mances will take place at Keller Audito
rium. A pay your age discount is offered
for all patrons under 35 years old. The
Oregon Ballet Theatre participates in the
Arts for All program, providing $5 tickets to
patrons with the Oregon Trail Card.
