The Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince glide through one of the most exquisite melodies Tchaikovsky ever wrote for ballet, enchanting the audience with every note. Bernstein’s lively Candide Overture arrives with a snap that captivates, followed by the Mambo from West Side Story – a piece so irrepressibly vibrant that it has long since escaped the confines of Broadway. Elena Kats-Chernin’s Dance of the Paper Umbrellas offers a serene moment of calm before the dramatic and haunting melodies of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake take hold. We then journey from the rugged Wild West in Copland’s energetic Hoe-Down to Dvořák’s beloved native Bohemia, experiencing the fiery rhythms of their Slavonic Dances. You can keep your Peaceful Piano and Calming Classical playlists – this is music to get your blood pumping and your spirit soaring! Vanessa Hughes presides over the mayhem with grace and flair.
