O’Keeffe: Kiss the Sky is a groundbreaking new ballet-opera that brings the life and vision of Georgia O’Keeffe into a vivid fusion of music, movement, and theater. 

With music by Grammy Award® winner Christopher Tin, a libretto by Kelley Rourke, direction by Francesca Zambello, and choreography by Jessica Lang, the production unites a world-class creative team and an international cast led by Isabel Leonard, Christine Goerke, and William Burden under the baton of George Manahan. 

Centered on O’Keeffe’s rise as one of America’s most iconic artists, the work explores the forces that 

shaped her voice — from her transformative desert landscapes to the complex relationships that 

both constrained and inspired her.
