Ghost Stories

Give in to inevitable goosebumps this November! George Balanchine’s haunting one-act ballet La Sonnambula, the tale of a beautiful sleepwalker and the misfortune in her wake, returns to PNB after a 10-year absence. Two contrasting pieces by Alejandro Cerrudo highlight his moody (Silent Ghost) at witty (PACOPEPEPLUTO) sides, giving you a full picture of this modern chorographer’s style. And, as a special treat, principal dancer Kyle Davis will create a world premiere work inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s famous narrative poem “The Raven.”
