PATER OLYMPIAN II

Because of the unquestioned artistic success achieved in staging the World Premiere and the following performances of the ballet Pater Olympian in Moscow in December 2002, there has been great and in recent years increasing demand from its Russian Principal Dancers as well as from other advisors both in Russia and the United States for Bob Hoffman to write the Story of and arrange for choreography to be created for the Sequel to Pater Olympian…the Story for which has been running through Bob’s mind for a good number of years.

The result of the combination of Pater Olympian and its Sequel would be PATER OLYMPIAN II.

Pater Olympian is presently a one-act classical story ballet that takes place at the Olympian Games of ancient Greece in 680 B.C. Its stage duration is under 40 minutes. Its story depicts a monumental tragedy in a Greek Olympian family played out to the heroic music of Beethoven’s Symphony #5. The Sequel to Pater Olympian mystically “jumps” thousands of years to the futuristically modern Olympic Games. The combination completes the story of the one-act Pater Olympian and expands to become a full-evening length performance in the Theatre. Preliminary ideas for completing the story are known. The music is not yet determined.

We suggest from time to time that you visit PATER OLYMPIAN II to learn of its ongoing status.
