Kent Stowell's Swan Lake excerpt | ft. Leta Biasucci | Pacific Northwest Ballet

“[Leta] Biasucci's Odette emerged from the misty lake shy and genuinely forlorn, as if she really did spend half her life as a swan, and as if that life really did suck as much as it sounds like it does. Her movements gained strength, confidence, and regality in proportion to her growing love for Siegfried, and for the liberation that love promised.”
-Rich Smith for The Stranger

Superb! Seattle is so lucky to have the PNB and its rendition of Swan Lake. I will never tire of it. I went twice this season and saw Leta both times. It made such an impression on me that I will never forget.

Leta dances beautifully! (On a side note, disappointed that some of the dancers don't wear pink tights and shoes, which breaks the continuity of line of the corps de ballet.)

Pointe Magazine recently wrote an article we would recommend: Why Some Companies Are Rethinking Pink Tights and Shoes for the Corps de Ballet
"Now, several major ballet companies have begun to embrace flesh-tone tights and shoes onstage in the corps de ballet-challenging the notion of aesthetic uniformity and ushering in a new era of belonging for dancers at all ranks... Pacific Northwest Ballet artistic director Peter Boal-who started giving dancers the option to wear flesh-tone leg and footwear in some roles starting in 2019, then made it optional for all roles in 2021. “Once pointe shoes became available in a variety of tones, a door opened,” he says. “I believe this should be an individual dancer’s choice.” He adds that he is much more concerned about the integral principles of musicality and movement quality over aesthetic sameness."
