A Trio of Classic Musicals Are Headed to Charlotte

stages this fall and winter: The Sound of Music, Les Misérables and The Phantom of the Opera. Experience your favorite musicals live with these revitalized and reimagined productions.

The Sound of Music Nov. 24-26 • Belk Theater The Sound of Music premiered onstage in 1959 and was later adapted for film – which became the most successful movie musical in history – and more recently to a live television production of a musical, the first of its kind in half a century. Inspired by the lives of Maria Augusta Trapp and the Trapp Family Singers, the show and its exquisite score convey love and acceptance in the midst of struggle. This vivacious, warmhearted new production will have audiences singing to the hills.

Les Misérables Dec. 13-17 • Ovens Auditorium Les Misérables also enjoyed great success on the big screen, though it originated as a novel by Victor Hugo. Direct from its celebrated Broadway revival, this new production boasts reimagined staging with Hugo’s own scenic paintings incorporated into the design. As the epic story unfolds, audiences will be able to relive beloved songs like “On My Own,” “One Day More” and of course, “I Dreamed a Dream.”

The Phantom of the Opera Jan. 17-28 • Belk Theater Another literary-inspired musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera brings the mystery and intrigue of the Paris Opera House to Charlotte. From the magnificent chandelier to the magical masquerade, the effects are designed to seduce audiences into the Phantom’s world. This production from Cameron Mackintosh boasts a cast and orchestra of 52, making it one of the largest productions currently on tour.

Kindness is Contagious Opera Xpress’ ‘The Billy Goats Gruff’ contains a lesson on how to handle bullies

T

he best art delivers a message. This year’s Opera Xpress feature has one just right for these times. Three goats – Lucy, Ernesto and Dandini – are playing hide and seek when they encounter a bully who won’t let them across a bridge. While the boys ask their parents to intervene, Lucy confronts the bully and turns him into a friend. The lively retelling of the Norwegian fairy tale, “The Three Billy Goats Gruff,” is set to the music of Mozart and Donizetti. “Rather than being set to one opera, this version contains excerpts from many,” said Ashley Johnson Lam, Opera Carolina’s director of education. “And while this telling is true to the classic tale, our version is set in Appalachia to give it a Carolina twist.” In honor of the three goats, here are three reasons to catch this family-friendly production: 1. The hero is actually a heroine. “This is the kids’ version of ‘Nevertheless, she persisted,’” said Lam. Lucy proves both fearless and kind as she refuses to let the bully take away her

doll. When her friends return, she tells them, “He kindly gave me my doll back.” Lam said, “She lets the bully save face.” 2. It's directed by a Broadway veteran. Bruce D. Long, who produces on Broadway, West End and off-Broadway, lists Memphis: The Musical and Of Mice and Men among his credits. He’s also producing I Dream, which fuses classical, pop and R&B into an operatic examination of the final hours in the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life. Opera Carolina is staging I Dream in May. 3. It's a good time to teach kids to stand up for their beliefs. You don’t have to be a bully to combat a bully. “Kindness is contagious” is one of the production’s most memorable lines (and lessons). The 13-week tour runs from mid-October through March 2018. Close to 30,000 elementary school students – from Charlotte-Mecklenburg and other parts of North Carolina, upstate South Carolina and northern Georgia – will see the Opera Xpress production. In addition to the in-school performances, there will be five family productions.

Charlotte Ballet Brings The Most Incredible Thing

A

udiences young and old are sure to enjoy The Most Incredible Thing, a fairy tale pop ballet based on a lesser-known Hans Christian Andersen fable. With choreography by Javier de Frutos and music by the Pet Shop Boys, you’ll be mesmerized by this epic ballet complete with a king, a princess, a competition and an extraordinary clock.

3 REASONS WHY YOU MUST SEE THIS MOST INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE 1. The Most Incredible Thing has never been performed in America. The Most Incredible Thing premiered at Sadler’s Wells in London as its largest scale production in 2011. Enormous audience demand for tickets and excellent reviews brought the production back to Sadler’s Wells for a longer run in 2012. The Most Incredible Thing makes its American debut right here in Charlotte in March 2018. 2. Choreographer Javier de Frutos will tailor choreography to showcase Charlotte Ballet’s strengths. Javier is reworking parts of the ballet to fully use the classical strengths and technique of Charlotte Ballet. Choreography in Act II, initially performed in flat ballet shoes, will now be in pointe shoes, making this version of The Most Incredible Thing unique to Charlotte Ballet.

3. It is the Pet Shop Boys’ first composition for a ballet. The Pet Shop Boys – Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe – are an English electronic pop band. The two have sold more than 50 million records worldwide and are listed by The Guinness Book of Records to be the most successful duo in U.K. music history.

Charlotte Symphony: More Than Mozart

T

he Charlotte Symphony believes in delivering exceptional music experiences – inside and outside of the concert hall. Here’s a quick look at the ways your Charlotte Symphony uses music to make a difference in our community. UNIFYING OUR COMMUNITY A year on from the unrest uptown following the police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, the Charlotte Symphony, in partnership with A Sign of the Times of the Carolinas and Levine Museum of the New South, continues efforts to build community using music and history to tackle issues of discrimination and inequality. Listen Up, Charlotte! is a free concert series, launched in April 2017, that weaves historical context provided by Brenda Tindal, staff historian at Levine Museum, with musical selections from Bach to Bill Withers. Following the concert, the Charlotte community convenes in dialogue around issues of social injustice. The second series of Listen Up, Charlotte! took place in mid-September on the east and north sides of Charlotte.

empowerment, Project Harmony is social transformation through music. This new partnership offers an intensive music program focused primarily on communities with the fewest resources and greatest need. It builds off of Community School of the Arts’ long-running Orchestra in Schools program and expands the Charlotte Symphony’s Winterfield Youth Orchestra elementary school program to a number of new sites. The project comes on the heels of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Opportunity Task Force Report and aims to reach 500 students by 2020.

A long tradition of helping our community perform at its best. At Moore & Van Allen we have a long tradition of supporting the arts. Whether they entertain, inspire or simply add beauty to our community, the arts can have an impact on everyone. There are very few things in life that can achieve that. Which, in our minds, is an uncommon art.
