Spring Rep - Olympic Ballet Theatre

An eclectic celebration of ballet featuring classical and contemporary works!

La Fille Mal Gardée (Excerpts) by OBT Artistic Directors Oleg Gorboulev and Mara Vinson after Alexander Gorsky with music by Peter Hertel

From the Dark Land by Donald Byrd with music by George Crumb

La Fille Mal Gardée (Excerpts)

Choreography: Mara Vinson & Oleg Gorboulev after Alexander Gorsky

Composer: Peter Hertel

Premiere: 1789, Grand Théatre de Bordeaux

Lighthearted and full of charm, La Fille Mal Gardée is one of the oldest surviving ballets in the repertoire. Set to a lively score by Ferdinand Hérold and choreographed by Alexander Gorsky, this delightful comedy follows the spirited Lise as she outsmarts her mother’s plans for an arranged marriage in order to be with the man she truly loves. With its playful humor, colorful characters, and joyous dancing, La Fille Mal Gardée remains a beloved favorite for audiences of all ages.

From the Dark Land

Choreography: Donald Byrd

Composer: George Crumb

Premiere: 2023, Olympic Ballet Theatre

Olympic Ballet Theatre brings back Donald Byrd’s bold and thought-provoking ballet, From the Dark Land, for the first time since its premiere in 2023. Set to George Crumb’s Black Angels, 13 Images from the Dark Land for electric string quartet—paired with the haunting second movement of Schubert’s Death and the Maiden—this new work explores the tension between beauty and dissonance, chaos and calm.

Byrd’s choreography does not shy away from discomfort; instead, it provokes reflection, inviting audiences to question their own reactions to the unsettling and the unfamiliar. Evocative and layered, From the Dark Land channels themes of conflict, mortality, and Romantic fascination with death into a striking theatrical experience.

A Tony-nominated and Bessie Award-winning choreographer, Byrd is renowned for using dance as a social and civic instrument. With From the Dark Land, he challenges both dancers and audiences to step beyond comfort, engaging deeply with music, movement, and meaning.
