SUMMARY:Bizet’s Carmen
DESCRIPTION:A tempestuous heart. A fatal attraction. Seductive music. This is Bizet’s iconic CARMEN – the story of a fiery woman who dances to her own rhythm\, a soldier ensnared by her captivating spirit\, and the jealousy that propels them toward tragedy.

Partnering with the Dayton Ballet and the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra\, they promise to bring an authentic and vibrant interpretation to the stage.

SUMMARY:The Sound Of Music
DESCRIPTION:For 65 years\, THE SOUND OF MUSIC has been one of our “favorite things.” With its timeless story and irresistibly charming score\, this Rodgers & Hammerstein classic isn’t just meant to be enjoyed – it’s meant to be shared.
