It looks like the Grand Ole Opry has found its way to Mountain View. This weekend, the Smuin Contemporary Ballet troupe will perform their tribute to the late-great American country icon Patsy Cline. Known for tunes like “Walkin’ After Midnight” and “Crazy,” Cline built a mystique over her short eight-year career that still influences today’s younger starlets to combine the twangs of country music with pop stardom. The troupe—led by choreographer Gina Patterson and dancemaker Amy Seiwert—will take those influences to the stage for each two-hour performance.
