Preview / Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre turns to Twyla Tharp to open season

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: A triple threat of 20th-century standouts in fashion, music and choreography will open Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's 44th season when the company presents "An Evening of Twyla Tharp" at the Benedum Center next weekend. For the first time since 2010, audiences will be treated to a revival of Ms. Tharp's "In the Upper Room" (1986), a stamina-testing marathon of movement set to a Philip Glass score. This time it will be paired with another Tharp classic, "Nine Sinatra Songs" (1982), last staged by PBT in 2006.
