The OBT Collection

We close out the season with a capsule collection of four strikingly beautiful one-act ballets.

FOR PIXIE
A haunting pas de deux set to Nina Simone’s Wild is the Wind, For Pixie is inspired by Dani Rowe’s own grandparents’ fierce and unconventional love story.
“Intimate and captivating.” – San Francisco Chronicle

QUARTET FOR FIVE
Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber infuse warmth and tenderness into this intensely physical contemporary work, set to music by Philip Glass performed by members of the OBT Orchestra.
“Expressive, dramatic and intriguing…beautiful emotional connections.” – VailDaily

NEW WORK FROM NICOLAS BLANC
A world premiere from Nicolas Blanc is sure to thrill audiences with its marriage of pure classicism and fresh, contemporary edge.
“The next big find.” – Classical Voice SF

OF THREE
Set to Chopin’s romantic score, Lauren Flower’s intimate, flowing work for three dancers finishes off this unforgettable collection.
