Organization Information:
Currently celebrating its 50th Anniversary Season, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre has built a legacy of excellence and innovation since 1969.  Since 1997, the organization has flourished under the artistic direction of Terrence S. Orr, former American Ballet Theatre ballet master and principal dancer. Mr. Orr has created a powerful repertoire, including fresh versions of traditional ballets, original works commissioned to contemporary American music and dramatic works that push the boundaries of ballet as an art form. Through more than 50 performances each year at home and on tour, PBT audiences discover the passion and joy of ballet.
