No, Not DESMOND Tutu’s Election … I said “Dancing TuTu Construction”

The second part of my posts in anticipation of Midsummer Night’s Dream as performed by Oregon Ballet Theater:  TuTu Facts. Thanks again to the OBT website for supplying my information

  • Underside of Raymonda TutuEvery tutu takes approximately 140 hours to make by hand and costs about $2,000.

  • One tutu requires about 120 yards of tulle – if you lay it out, that’s longer than a football field.
  • Last year OBT made 22 new tutus, which cost the company over $44,000.
