Welcome to PNB's 2023/24 Season opener, PETITE MORT. We’ve packed as much whimsy, artistry, and drama as possible into our 2023/24 season opener.

Built on a foundation of music from Mozart to Beethoven, this triple bill looks at the world of dance through unique shifts in perspective. Jiří Kylián’s Petite Mort and Sechs Tänze return after a long hiatus, along with Alexander Ekman’s delightful Cacti. Host Doug Fullington talks through the origins of each of the three works, including the featured musical scores from Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and Schubert.

Recorded in the Nesholm Family Lecture Hall inside Marion Oliver McCaw Hall in Seattle, Washington in September 2023.
