— About this Performance —
Bernstein’s iconic score to West Side Story is a thrilling blend of passion, rhythm, and drama, creating unforgettable melodies and electrifying dance rhythms. From the soaring romance of “Maria” and “Tonight” to the fiery energy of “America” and “Mambo,” the music captures the intensity of love, rivalry, and hope. Highlighting this program that explores the breathtaking highs and heartbreaking lows of love is the achingly beautiful Adagio by Barber, made famous by the movie Platoon.
