Ballet Talk with Pacific Northwest Ballet
Arts:Performing Arts
Pacific Northwest Ballet welcomes a new host of our pre-show Ballet Talk series, Dr. Anne Searcy! Anne is an Assistant Professor of Music History at the University of Washington.
Listen along as Anne walks our audience through the history of Tchaikovsky's "undanceable" Swan Lake score, the origin of Swan Lake's infamous 32 fouette turns that end Act III of the ballet, and a quick plot summary including deciphering ballet pantomime.
Recorded in the Nesholm Family Lecture Hall in Seattle Center's McCaw Hall in February, 2024.
