ONCE: The Musical With Mass Appeal
T
creating a feast for the eyes and ears. Here are three more reasons this show is not to be missed:
here’s something special about ONCE. You sense it the minute you walk into the theater and see audience members mingling onstage and buying drinks at the authentic-looking Irish pub, which also serves as the show’s set. And then the music starts. That haunting, gorgeous music. If you were lucky enough to catch the Broadway tour in Fall 2014 when it played to packed houses in Charlotte, you’ll remember the story of a talented Dublin street performer who makes ends meet by repairing vacuums. With a broken heart, he’s just about to give up his dream of writing and performing music when a chance encounter with a mysterious and lovely Czech woman leads to an incredible musical collaboration. Their connection deepens and the resulting music is sensational; their relationship, however, remains much more complex than a simple boy-meets-girl romance. Music is front and center in the Broadway production, as talented actormusicians play their own instruments,
1
Charlotte loved ONCE the last time around! The Gaston Gazette said “ONCE brought something fresh, real and original to the world of theater. It’s a show that even the non-musical lover would enjoy, just because it’s so different.”
2
This is the perfect show for anyone who loves music! Boasting incredible, breathtaking music and lyrics from Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, ONCE features the Oscar®-winning song “Falling Slowly” as well as elements of folk and rock throughout.

A triumphant feat for any Broadway show, ONCE won eight Tony Awards® in 2012, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Direction and Best Orchestrations. It also won the Grammy Award® for best musical theater album in 2013.

Opera Carolina
OperaCarolina.org
Opera Performs U.S. Premiere of Rachmaninoff’s Aleko Russian opera paired with the famous Pagliacci
A
including Paul Badura-Skoda, Lazar Berman, Sergiu Commissiona, Michel D’alberto, Philippe Entremont, Pavel Kogan, Vladimir Krainev and Hiroko Nakamura. Maestro Xu has won numerous prestigious international piano competitions, including the first Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, The Santander Paloma O'shea International Piano Competition, The fifth Tokyo International Piano Competition and The 10th Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow. Learn more about this exciting doublebill and the great artists performing with Opera Carolina by visiting operacarolina .org. Friend us on Facebook and make sure you’re receiving Opera Carolina e-blasts.
s if the U.S. stage premiere of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s first opera, Aleko, isn’t enough, Opera Carolina pairs this unique offering with one of the most famous operas of all – Pagliacci. The new production stars North Carolinian and Fort Mill resident Jeff Gwaltney as the betrayed husband, Canio, in Leoncavallo’s beloved Pagliacci. Directed by New York City Opera Renaissance’s new leader, Michael Capasso, the new production features the U.S. debut of Maestro Xu Zhong, music director of China’s most prestigious orchestra and opera company, The Shanghai Philharmonic and Opera. “This innovative production is a shining example of Opera Carolina’s commitment to excellence; to engaging great artists who increasingly live in our region; and to presenting a balanced and interesting repertoire to opera lovers and first-timers alike,” said Opera Carolina General Director James Meena. The stories of Aleko and Pagliacci are not dissimilar. Each chronicles with jealously, love and devotion betrayed, and murder. “Opera has always been a civilized way to enjoy sex and violence,” according to Meena. “The pathos of real human emotions heightened by the great music of Rachmaninoff and Leoncavallo allows us to empathize as we’re horrified by the events unveiling on stage.” As one of most internationally renowned Chinese pianists and conductors, Xu Zhong has enjoyed great collaborations with the most world-renowned musicians,

7 Reasons to Love Boyz II Men
T
he esteemed R&B group Boyz II Men joins the Charlotte Symphony for one night only on Saturday, March 12, in Belk Theater at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. Here are some reasons why the group is so popular.
1
They brought the ’90s some harmony. "Cooleyhighharmony," the group’s 1991 debut album, featured the hits “Motownphilly,” “End of the Road,” and “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday.”
2
Boyz II Men perform with the Charlotte Symphony in March.
Awards, awards … awards. Over the last two decades, the group has earned four Grammy Awards®, nine American Music Awards, nine Soul Train Awards, three Billboard Awards, and a 2011 MOBO Award for outstanding contribution to music.
5 6
They keep on going. In 2011, the group marked its 20th anniversary by releasing a new album, fittingly titled “Twenty.”
3
The group gives back. Boyz II Men House lends support to individuals and organizations that focus on improving quality of life and unlocking human potential, while contributing to the health and vitality of those less fortunate.
4
The full package. Boyz II Men recently teamed up with boy-band phenomena New Kids on the Block and 98 Degrees for the highly anticipated Package Tour.
They’re arts guys. The four (now three) members of Boyz II Men met in 1988 at The High School of Creative and Performing Arts in Philadelphia.
7
Clout. Megastars from Justin Timberlake and Usher to Justin Bieber and Beyoncé cite Boyz II Men as their musical influences.

They live and work in Charlotte, rehearsing at the Patricia McBride & Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux Center for Dance in uptown. The dancers’ typical rehearsal day begins with a 1.5-hour ballet class each morning, followed by six hours of rehearsal.
Choreographer Diamond is collaborating with set designer Howard Jones to create the perfect atmosphere for Little Mermaid. Act I of the ballet takes place under the sea, with projections designed to transport the audience into a magical underwater world, with a cast of sea creatures including sparkling seahorses, slithering eels and tumbling starfish. Charlotte Ballet Director of Costumes Aimee J. Coleman is designing and creating all new costumes. Many of her designs are influenced by colors of the sea, with beautiful combinations of blue, green and silver. “Even sea shells and sea creatures are used in the details of the costumes,” said Coleman.

EXTRA! Newsies Returns to Charlotte!
I
f you love big, old-fashioned style musicals filled with exuberant singing and dancing, then Disney’s Newsies is for you! The two-time Tony Award®winning show returns to Charlotte Aug. 9-14 after a triumphant, sell-out run in January 2015. The musical – based on the real-life newsboy strike of 1899 – has thrilled critics and audiences alike around the country. TimeOut New York hails it as “an invigorating extravaganza” and USA Today says “Newsies delivers with wit and heart, stick-in-your-head melodies and dazzling athletic choreography.” It’s no wonder with the creative team behind it all. The music comes from eighttime Oscar winner Alan Menken, who has written some of the most beloved music for stage and film musicals, such as Little Shop of Horrors, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid. (Fun fact: He also holds an honorary doctorate from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem!) The show’s book is by Harvey Fierstein, a theater legend who has starred in or written numerous Broadway productions, including local favorites Kinky Boots and La Cage aux Folles. The show’s lyricist, Jack Feldman; director, Jeff Calhoun; and choreographer, Christopher Gattelli, are each also multiple award winners. The talent runs deep in this show, and dedicated fans, known as “fansies,”

use today’s media to tell the world all about it. For example, when the show announced its opening on Broadway, the buzz on Twitter reached 14 million people! Don’t wait! Buy your tickets now. This show is hot off the presses and promises a whole lot of exuberant fun.

Spot the Differences With Pedal Punk
F
ounded in 2004, Cirque Mechanics has quickly emerged as a premier American circus act that blends storytelling with innovative mechanical staging. Although it’s inspired by modern circus, its heart comes from stories of American ingenuity. In Pedal Punk, coming to the Knight Theater on April 17, we experience the artistry and thrill of a wacky bike shop mechanic creating wondrous machines. Spectacle magazine hails Cirque Mechanics as “the greatest contribution to the American circus since Cirque du Soleil” and the New York Times says its “exceptional, evocative, eye-catching and grossly entertaining … in a word, excellent.” Speaking of eyecatching, take a moment now to see if you can spot the differences in this modified photo from Cirque Mechanics Pedal Punk. (Answers at the bottom of the page.) Then come see the show to be mesmerized by their incredible inventions and acrobatic feats. ANSWERS: 1: Tights on center female acrobat are solid instead of striped, 2: Extra lights, 3: Femal acrobat at far left is missing the rope she's hanging from.
