OBT’s 29th Season is brimming with exquisite moments of thrilling dance that you will not want to miss. It is a season combining firsts – a beautiful new full-length story ballet, the first-ever work by Alvin Ailey to enter our repertory – with much-anticipated revivals, the celebrated return of OBT’s 5th program, and a farewell to one of OBT’s most recognizable faces. It is also a season that will measure the full range of our incredible dancers, as we present works spanning three centuries of the art form.

Ballet is unique in its capacity to move us beyond our usual boundaries. It gives shape to the intangible, explores our humanity, and takes us on journeys that defy expectation. It’s an exciting time at OBT as we launch into our most ambitious season yet, full of spectacle and the world-class dancing. So come watch us defy expectations. I look forward to seeing you at the theater.
