“…A bubble of romantic idealism, within which the dancers shine.”
– The Oregonian, about Raymonda
“[Kudelka is] the most imaginative voice to come out of ballet in the last decade.”
– The New York Times
“[Bolero is] one of the troupe’s finest moments…Breathtaking.”
– The Portland Tribune |
SYNOPSIS
When Nicolo Fonte’s stunning Bolero premiered in 2008, it received immediate standing ovations at every performance. From its haunting opening, the ballet’s tension builds steadily, along with Ravel’s sultry score, until bursting in a vivid, satisfying wash of movement, color and emotion. It closes the season along with two more OBT-only works you can’t experience anywhere else: former Bolshoi principal Yuri Possokhov’s opulent nod to Russian classicism, Raymonda, and our recently commissioned premiere by James Kudelka to a dreamlike score for two harps.
