Mary Cassatt lived at the center of Belle Époque Paris, drawing inspiration from theater settings and the music and dance innovations of her time. That creative environment was the inspiration for A Night at the Paris Opera Ballet, a collaboration bwtween Ballet Hawaii and HoMA that takes the stage Sept 5 and 6 at the Doris Duke Theatre.

Christine Kaminski, Ballet Hawaii school director and associate artistic director, choreographed eleven original dances inspired by works in Mary Cassatt at Work. From creating characters inspired by Cassatt's women to selecting Impressionist composers, discover how she approached this unique challenge on our blog.
