Featured Review
My girlfriend and I had an awesome time at Body Beautiful. We have been to several other OBT performances but this one was quite different. It was very modern which made it interesting. I also really appreciated the look that the crowd got into the changing of the set scenery. I have also seen OBT perform with local rock bands like the Horsefeathers and Weinland that if anyone from OBT reads this, please consider doing another show like that because they were both incredible.

I haven't been to the ballet for years and boy I have missed out! This event was amazing and so beautiful. The original "Stream" was so beautiful, a performance that I will not forget.

Once again, the Annual School Performance from the students at SOBT was phenomenal. The dancers are so well trained and the program offered a variety of pieces with something for everyone to enjoy. The dancers' exuberance and obvious love of dance was also inspiring. From Rose City Waltz, choreographed by former OBT Artistic Director Christopher Stowell, to Blanchine choreography set to Gershwin songs, it was a pleasure from beginning to end. If you didn't see it this year, be sure to check it out next year!

Wow! This was the first time I have ever been to the Ballet and I loved it! I am a fan of the Fleet Foxes, so that is what caught my attention when I saw this advertized. I thought it would be fun to try something new and just see if I liked ballet since I already knew I would like the music. I think this was an excellent introduction because of the more modern compositions, it will be alot more accessible for most people I think. But it was just so beautiful and well done. It has inspired me to see more ballet. OBT did a wonderful job with this program.

Costumes, set design, technical performance, orchestra, all wonderful. But the real story has the characters die at the end. OBT decided on an alternate ending so the prince survives. Shame on you! Should Romeo and Juliet elope now so nobody gets upset?

This was a beautiful, emotional and breathtaking show. The costumes were beautiful and flowed so fluidly. I was lucky enough to be in the second row and was able to see the faces of the performers. Make up was exquisite. Can't say enough good things about this fabulous performance.

We enjoyed the show so much, but were bothered that programs were only handed out as one per group and that photos before the show were not allowed. Being able to take a picture from your seat shouldn't be an issue if the show isn't going. I felt for the ushers that they had to police photo taking so much.

Everything about the Saturday afternoon performance of Swan Lake was terrific. The choreography and the dancing were captivating. The costumes and the set were beautiful and dream-like. The orchestra did a wonderful job of accompaniment. And, of course, the music by Tchaikovsky is mesmerizing. We look forward to future performance by the OBT! My only request would be that there would be sufficient programs for future performances.

The presentation, setting, dancing and music were wonderful. Everything so well done, Odette and Otille performance was superb.
The orchestra played all of the Tschaikowski music beautifully.
your dumb nickname rules make one not want to offer a review.

it was my first time to see OBT perform, and i was rather impressed. the final performance of principal dancer Yuka Iino was incredible and I'm sad that i did not get to see her dance before. she was incredible and brought the house down with her passion and grace.
I felt like 3 intermissions was a bit much and dragged out the performance a little, but at the end of the day i truly enjoyed my evening and will be back to see more of OBT.

We attended the Saturday afternoon performance, and loved it. Hadn't been to a "full" ballet because of having small children. Took a 6 year old and she did just fine.

Anyone concerned about the future of ballet in Portland has to be even more so after watching and hearing the sublime full-length Swan Lake last weekend. With the challenges of just having lost its Artistic Director Christopher Stowell, the Oregon Ballet Theater presented a beautiful full length Swan Lake. If you have never seen this towering masterpiece, try to see it at some point. The poignant aspect of Saturday night's performance was the retirement of Principal Dancer Yuka Iino, who danced Odette/Odile. She was transcendant throughout the evening. The grand pas de deux was just one of the great moments for her and partner Yang Zou.

What an amazing ballet! It was truly a moving and beautiful show. Congratulations to Christopher Stowell and Yuka Iino for probably one of the best ballets Portland will see. My daughter and I had the best time!! I hope we can continue to have world-class ballets such as OBT's Swan Lake here in Portland!!!
