Founded in Bellevue in 2001 by Vera Altunina, International Ballet Theatre stages the classical repertoire in full, with guest artists from the Royal Ballet, the Mariinsky, Houston Ballet and the Joffrey.
International Ballet Theatre was founded in 2001 by Vera Altunina, a choreographer and balletmaster trained at the St. Petersburg State Conservatory. It stands today as the premiere ballet company of the Eastside.
IBT presents authentic productions that reflect traditional as well as original choreography: elegant costumes, vivid sets and a touch of magic. Guest artists from the Royal Ballet, the Mariinsky, Houston Ballet and the Joffrey have joined the company, and its productions are revered as some of the best in the Northwest.
Our mission is to enrich the lives of children and adults in our community with performances that inspire imagination and an appreciation of the performing arts. We strive for a level of quality and artistry that reaches every audience, from first-time theatergoers to lifelong patrons.
