Welcome to the final program of this historic season. Whether you are newly back to in-person performances with us of you’ve been along for the thrilling ride all season, it’s wonderful to see you. So much has transpired since our cautious return to the stage last September, and the concept of “normal” continues […]
Dear Friends,
It’s hard to believe that we haven’t been in McCaw Hall for a full, two-weekend, seven-performance mixed repertory program since November of 2019. We’re grateful for every milestone on the road to recovery, and this is a big one for us and for those of you who love […]
Dear Friends,
As I write this, we are in the homestretch of 37 performances of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker®. Without a doubt, this was our most complicated production in many years, with Covid protocols alone requiring multiple PNB teams to implement. And yet, what a joy […]
Dear Friends,
From all of us at PNB, welcome to The Nutcracker! We are so wildly happy you’re here. The 2020 holiday season was simply not the same without you. You’ll see that our production and McCaw Hall’s festive atmosphere are adapted for the most up-to-date health and safety reasons. […]

Dear Friends,
Thank you for joining us for our final digital repertory program of this wholly unique season.

Dear Friends,
We’re so glad to see you here, on your screen, for the Rep V installment in our Dance Happens Everywhere digital season. Your enthusiasm for both the new works we’ve created for film as well as PNB’s archival features (so many artists in one space! Actual audiences clapping […]
Dear Friends,
For many years I spent a lot of afternoons and evenings standing just inside the north door of McCaw Hall as Nutcracker audiences arrived for their show. Knowing that Nutcracker revenue supports everything we do at PNB, and the role it plays in how Seattle celebrates the holidays, […]
