Nevermore
A grand, luscious, and bizarre ballet experience inspired by the dark romances and poetry of Victorian literary genius Edgar Allan Poe, Donna and Hannah’s Nevermore casts BFan’s actor-artists in Poe’s blockbusters: The Raven, Annabel Lee, Masque of the Red Death, Fall of the House of Usher, and more. Gothic prose, electrifying encounters, and live songcraft.

Night Before Nutcracker
Step beyond the threshold of the ordinary and into a snow-dusted realm where time bends, courage is tested, and imagination becomes power. Ballet Fantastique’s Night Before Nutcracker reimagines the origins of a beloved holiday legend through a lens of wonder, resilience, and transformation.

Cleopatra
original arrangements & LIVE MUSIC:
Beats Antique
A fecund carpet, an asp, an empire almost lost to a pair of kohl-rimmed eyes. Cleopatra VII—a luminous Hellenistic queen in an Egyptian kingdom in a Roman world, juggling personae to shock, awe, love, rule, and endure—inspires Ballet Fantastique’s defiant and spellbinding contemporary ballet premiere, set to the Levantine modern electronic sound of blockbuster musicians Sidecar Tommy and Eenor Wildeboar from Beats Antique, playing live at the Hult Center.
MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND
SATURDAY–sunday, May 8-9, 2027
SILVA CONCERT HALL, hult center — eugene, or
Robin Hood & Maid Marian
In the long absence of King Richard, sinister Sheriff of Nottingham claims power. Enigmatic, unstoppable Robin Hood matches with brave, brilliant Maid Marian. It’s irresistible dance theater, great personality, and a story where good wins. Join us for an unforgettable Mother’s Day experience.
