A Second Front
Christopher Stowell / Dmitri Shostakovich
Almost Mozart
James Kudelka / Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Liturgy
Christopher Wheeldon / Arvo Pärt
Bolero*
Nicolo Fonte / Maurice Ravel
*with guest artist Artur Sultanov

Almost Mozart’s “bursts of accidental beauty,” Liturgy’s “sublime meditation” and Bolero’s “raw power,” confirm the living language of classical ballet. These favorites by Kudelka, Wheeldon, and Fonte respectively, illuminate the legacy of top choreographers enticed to OBT over the last decade. How fitting, then, that this program features a world premiere by Christopher Stowell as well. As a special treat for Portland audiences, former Principal Dancer Artur Sultanov returns as a guest artist to dance Bolero with Alison Roper in every performance.
