Lyon Opera Ballet This company has always pushed the edge of what might qualify as “ballet,” performing works by some of the most groundbreaking postmodern choreographers. The repertory they’re bringing includes William Forsythe’s seminal Steptext and Sarabande by Benjamin Millepied, who went from dancing with New York City Ballet to running the Paris Opera Ballet via Hollywood, choreographing for Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan (and marrying its star, Natalie Portman).

It should be fascinating to see this group of young dancers stepping up. cornish.edu Broadway Performance Hall, 1625 Broadway, Seattle, WA 98122 $10 Friday, April 17, 2015, 8pm
