Set to the iconic hits of Frank Sinatra and riveting works of Philip Glass, PBT presents a choreographic power couple by award-winning choreographer Twyla Tharp. In Nine Sinatra Songs, Tharp blends ballet and ballroom movement, elevating the glamour and finesse of social dancing to a dance theatre quality. Driven by Philip Glass’s rhythmic score, In the Upper Room melds ballet and modern dance in a powerful tour de force described by Tharp as “fierce, driving and relentless.”
