Poetry in motion!

Pacific Northwest Ballet raises the roof as they revive Kent Stowell's magnificent staging of Carl Orff's powerhouse chorale. Featuring a jaw-dropping set and a cast of 100 dancers, musicians, and performers, it truly is a sight to behold. Alongside, Balanchine's knowledge of classical ballet fills Allegro Brilliante with joy, and Alexi Ratmanksy presents an exciting new premiere.

A large-scale feat based on Orff's 1937 cantata set to 24 medieval poems, the grandly theatrical piece is an elegant and exuberant work that continues to be a favorite with concert (and now ballet) audiences throughout the world.
