Notes:
Three talented choreographers. Three exquisite works. Three cheers to neoclassical ballet. Christoper Wheeldon's Carousel is pure romance, a whirling tribute to the Richard Rodgers iconic musical. Spanish choreographer Nacho Durato's first work, Jardí Tancat, is still considered one of his finest. Set to Catalonian folksongs, it is the poignant story of people who work the barren land. Concluding the program is Stanton Welch's Nosotros, a brilliant display of talent in a magical, star lit setting.

In 1929, two ambitious visionaries race against each other to invent a device called “television.” Separated by two thousand miles, each knows that if he stops working, even for a moment, the other will gain the edge. Who will unlock the key to the greatest innovation of the 20th century: the ruthless media mogul, or the self-taught Idaho farm boy? The answer comes to compelling life in The Farnsworth Invention, the new play from Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing. Recommended for mature audiences.
Raising funds to support the organization and an outreach coordinator position, which has lost it funding.

Notes:
With the goal of making classical ballet relevant for a new generation of audiences, artistic director Stanton Welch has put his 21st century signature on this 19th love story. Set to the hauntingly beautiful Tchaikovsky score, Swan Lake tells the classic tale of Odette - a beautiful maiden transformed into a swan by an evil knight - and the prince who swears his enduring love for her. It's good and evil in black and white, danced on rich and spectacular sets by the late, great Australian designer Kristian Fredrikson.
