Olympic Ballet Theatre closes its 2022-2023 performance season with “Summer Performance,” an eclectic display celebrating the diversity of ballet. This annual production honors tradition and spotlights innovation, featuring excerpts from classical ballets by famed choreographers of the past and new contemporary ballet works by talented choreographers of today.
The classical portion of the 2023 program features Paquita Grand Pas Classique, a treasured excerpt from the original ballet Paquita, choreographed by Marius Petipa and mostly lost to time. In addition to this favorite classic, the program features a vibrant neoclassical world premiere by OBT company dancer Alberto Gaspar.
