About

About Pacific Northwest Ballet at PACE

Pacific Northwest Ballet, in residency at the new Bellevue Performing Arts Center (PACE), brings one of the country's top-ranked ballet companies to the Eastside — an Eastside season of full-scale performances that until recently required a trip across the lake to McCaw Hall. From family matinees of "The Nutcracker" to contemporary premieres, PNB at PACE is Bellevue's most significant new cultural draw.

Highlights

What makes it special

  • Full-scale Pacific Northwest Ballet productions on the Eastside
  • Modern 2,000-seat hall with orchestra pit and excellent sightlines
  • Family-friendly Nutcracker matinees each December
  • Pre-show talks and open lobby programming most performance nights
  • Walking distance from Old Bellevue and Downtown Bellevue dining

What you'll experience

The visit, in detail

PACE is a modern 2,000-seat hall with excellent sightlines, floating balconies, and acoustics engineered for both live orchestra and dance. Expect a full PNB experience: live symphony pit, principal dancers from the Seattle season, and a lobby program of pre-show talks. The neighborhood around PACE — Old Bellevue and Downtown Bellevue — sets up naturally for dinner before and dessert or a nightcap after.
