Usher in the return of spring with the Oregon Ballet's new program of fresh and vivacious works inspired by nature and the earth. From a welcome return of Helen Pichett's dizzying Petal to two company premieres from Nacho Duato and a brand new world premiere, this is the perfect way to pay tribute to the most rejuvenating of the seasons.
Since ancient times our ancestors have worshipped the power of the earth, from which all life comes and nevermore so in the spring when the effects of nature are most evident. This program celebrates all of the joy and excitement, alongside the deeper emotions the season elicits.
