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, Jard 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.

Starring the legendary Topol as Tevye. Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as a...Fiddler On The Roof. Tevye, humble milkman, harried husband and devoted father to five marriageable daughters, invites us into his little village of Anatevka. Here, there is a tradition for everything how to eat, how to wear clothes, how to pray, how to marry...all of which are happily imparted by our earthy philosopher as he draws us into Fiddler On The Roof. It is a remarkable journey traveling through secret love, forbidden betrothal, weddings, devotion and forgiveness, tempered by rejection, oppression and imminent revolution. And, emerging through it all, we find the humor, strength and perseverance of Tevye and his people, reminding us of lifes never-ending circle.
