As of noon-ish on Tuesday April
• only single seats on the main floor for all three nights.
• balcony seating is almost gone for Saturday night.

I can&#;t wait to see this show! I&#;ve seen PNB do Nacho Duato works, and I&#;ve seen Hubbard Street do Nacho Duato works, and I&#;ve enjoyed the quality of movement in both. (Some favorite moments?

It was more or less the same programme planned for a year ago that was postponed to make way for Le Corsaire performances after a Covid lockdown interrupted the run of the ballet after just a couple of performances.
