HTP Mainstage

Artistic alchemy frames the 2026–27 Harris Theater Presents Mainstage season, with programming that features artists not simply sharing the stage but inspiring, challenging, and transforming one another. Trisha Brown Dance Company and Merce Cunningham Trust open the season with Dancing with Bob, a 2026 New York Times Critic’s Pick that celebrates the choreographers’ legendary collaborations with visual artist Robert Rauschenberg. Composer and conductor Steve Hackman returns to the Harris after last season’s sold-out performance with another brilliant fusion: MAHLER X NOTORIOUS B.I.G. X 2PAC. Rounding out the fall, Compagnie Hervé Koubi makes its long-awaited Chicago debut with Sol Invictus, combining contemporary and urban dance movements, martial arts, and powerful imagery.

Early 2027 sees the Chicago premiere of choreographer Kyle Abraham's newest work White Space, performed by his company A.I.M and accompanied live by jazz pianist Jason Moran, followed by a new partnership with Opera Atelier Music Director David Fallis conducting Chicago’s own Haymarket Opera Orchestra in Handel’s The Resurrection: In Concert, featuring soloists of international acclaim. Aga Khan Master Musicians brings cross-continental collaboration for a celebration of sonic richness and cultural heritage. Bringing the season to an epic finish, Alonzo King LINES Ballet returns with Chicago premieres and their vision of transformative, revelatory dance through breathtaking artistry and compelling movement.
