'Oregon Ballet Theatre Tickets'

'The Oregon Ballet Theatre is considered a gem that enriches the Portland community through beautiful, exhilarating and athletic dance. It is celebrating its 30th anniversary this 2019-20 ballet season thanks to a merger between the Pacific Ballet Theatre and Ballet Oregon. This is a troupe that performs classical ballet from choreographers like George Balanchine, James Canfield and Agnes de Mille, but it also adds its own flair to original content. Live audiences can expect to see the dancers perform with passion and execution.'

'Celebrating 30 Years of Dance Excellence'

'Although the Oregon Ballet Theatre is only in its 30th year of existence, the Portland community has acknowledged their contributions to the city with special commemorations. The Oregon Historical Society ran an exhibit from August 2 through December 15, 2019, dedicated to this organization. The title of the exhibit, Wild About Dance, describes the group perfectly. Costumes, videos and photographs were showcased along with theatrical artifacts. The goal was to spread the word about the group as well as educate the community in an effort to keep fostering a love for the arts among all generations. The Oregon Ballet Theatre also nurtures its own education outreach programs, including field trips and teaching and performing in schools, and offers group backstage tours.'
