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.

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.

My love and thanks to all of my collaborators, company members and the entire New Adventures family for their openness, creativity and support during the making of The Red Shoes. I dedicate this show to all the Victoria Pages, past and present, who have ever felt the lure of the red shoes and the need to express themselves through dance… thank you for the continued inspiration. Matthew Bourne Dear Friends, Welcome to the USA premiere performances of New Adventures’ production of The Red Shoes. It’s a thrill to be returning to Blumenthal Performing Arts in Charlotte. This is a venue the company have grown to know and love during our USA tours over the last decade. I’d like to give personal thanks to your wonderful President and CEO Tom Gabbard who has acted as an ambassador for my work across America. Without Tom’s passion and dedication for New Adventures we would not be here today. This show is the culmination of a twenty-year ambition to bring Powell and Pressburger’s seminal 1948 film to the stage. It is also, in many ways, a personal love letter to a life in theatre and dance.
The Red Shoes led us into 2017 and launched the thirtieth year celebration of my company in great style. We marked the anniversary with a packed programme of touring and projects across the U.K. and around the world. I am delighted that our charity Re:Bourne is delivering dance experiences to students across Charlotte during our season at Blumenthal Performing Arts. In 2017 we are proudly touring more dance and delivering more dance experiences, than any other UK dance company and are thrilled to be introducing The Red Shoes to our friends in the USA. This is only possible due to the loyalty and support of our audiences across the U.K. and internationally. Whether you’re one of our biggest supporters, or someone new to dance or our company, thank you for being here. Very best wishes, Sir Matthew Bourne

Matthew Bourne Talks about The Red Shoes What is it about “The Red Shoes” that attracts you as a story to adapt for dance? It’s the story that Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger fashioned around Hans Christian Andersen’s story of “The Red Shoes” for their seminal 1948 movie that really attracted me. The Andersen fairy tale is a little difficult to relate to today with its themes of the “sin” of vanity and religious redemption. However, the image of the red shoes, that once put on, will not allow the wearer to stop dancing, has long been a potent one for creative minds from Powell and Pressburger to Kate Bush to Emma Rice and her memorable theatre production for Kneehigh. I have loved the film since I was a teenager with its depiction of a group of people all passionate about creating something magical and beautiful. It seemed to be saying that art was something worth fighting for, even dying for, if the rather melodramatic conclusion is to be believed. It was a world full of glamour, romance and creativity populated by larger than life personalities. In short, it was a world that I wanted to be part of! The film’s genius though was to take that highly theatrical world and turn it into a highly cinematic, and at times, surreal piece of film-making. My challenge has been to capture some of that surreal, sensuous quality within the more natural theatre setting. What are the main themes of the story? The main message of The Red Shoes is that nothing matters but art. As Michael Powell said, “The Red Shoes told us to go and die for art.” Whilst acknowledging the exaggeration here, I believe it was a piece that asked us to take art seriously as a life-changing force: something that gives intense joy but also asks for and requires sacrifices. It is the love story of two young artists: one, a dancer, Victoria Page; and one, a composer, Julian Craster; and the fight between that love and the lure of the highest artistic achievement as represented by Boris Lermontov, the dance company’s legendary impresario, who believes that you cannot be a great artist if distracted by human love. Lermontov sees art (or more specifically ballet) as something close to a religion. This is both his strength and his tragedy. Even Vicky and Julian would not have found their love if it were not for their shared artistic success. It is only the thrill of creation that brings them together, after a fairly rocky start. However, when they are starved of their creative lives their relationship becomes “messy” and they find themselves missing something. I’m also exploring how the fairy-tale world of ballet and the stories it tells can actually blend into the real-life tale of love, ambition, artistic and personal fulfilment, until the two are barely distinguishable. How does it speak to the audience of today? In today’s culture there seems an obsession with what it takes to become a great performer or artist. The two most popular shows on television are about finding someone with star quality (“The X Factor”) or watching someone aquire the skills and dedication to become a great dancer (“Strictly Come Dancing”). Katherine Hepburn was once asked what “star-quality” was and she replied, “I don’t know, but I’ve got it.” It’s an indefinable thing but we seem fascinated by it. The Red Shoes gives us a glimpse into that world, an insight into the art form of dance, a revealing backstage story into the minds of artists and the creative life. However, the heart of the story is a tragic, real-life, triangular love story like no other. Two men in love with the same woman but in very different ways, and all tied up with their combined artistic achievement. When Julian, the composer, accuses Lermontov of being jealous of his relationship with Victoria Page he answers “Yes, I am, but in a way you would never understand.” What are the differences between a dance company in 1948 and today? The Red Shoes is a story about dance and dancers, something that we in New Adventures know a thing or two about! However, a dance company in 1948 was very different to dance company life today. When The Red Shoes was released in 1948, ballet was a relatively new and mysterious art form and the film was a 13C
704.372.1000 | BlumenthalArts.org
genuine insight into a rare and extraordinary world of flamboyant personalities, glamorous women, fey men and obsessive, uptight creative figures with strange names and a range of international accents! Most, if not all of this has changed, of course, but I did see a similarity between the life of a hard-working touring company, full of slightly eccentric personalities and the world of New Adventures today. I don’t think a contemporary ballet company today would necessarily create the right atmosphere to recreate the company we see in the 1948 film. The family atmosphere of New Adventures with its group of talented, highly individual performers, who tour around the U.K. and the world as a tight knit community, seemed the right company to portray the fictional Lermontov company of yesteryear. The performances and personalities in the famous film are legendary. How have the New Adventures dancers approached playing these characters? Who can imagine The Red Shoes without Moira Shearer, Robert Helpmann, Leonide Massine and perhaps, most of all, Anton Walbrook? This is something that we have all had to contemplate and boldly address. I think the New Adventures dancers, whether they knew the film before or not, have all fallen in love with these unique performers. Our task had been, I think, to honour them with the odd little “tribute” but then to create our own characters as dictated by the story we are telling. Trying to recreate “special” performers or performances is always a mistake and I’ve encouraged the dancers to find their own way. That has not stopped us all though from delving into countless biographies and YouTube clips to look for inspiration into the flavour of the period in which we are working and to gather anecdotes about dancers and dancing in the 1940s and ‘50s. All our ensemble dancers were given a famous dancer of this era to study and the clues are in their given names in the programme! You have chosen the music of celebrated Hollywood composer, Bernard Herrmann rather than the original Oscar-winning score from the film. Why? I have a great affection for Brian Easdale’s very fine score for The Red Shoes ballet in the film. It’s an impressive achievement by any standards and a first for a mainstream film to include an unheard of 15-minute ballet as its central story-telling device. A feature film that includes a featured ballet is very different from a full-length wordless dance piece in which the music not only has to serve the ballets that the company perform but also the backstage life of the company and most importantly, the emotional story of Vicky Page, Julian Craster and Boris Lermontov. I found this variety of ideas in the work of one of my favourite Hollywood composers, Bernard Herrmann. Herrmann is probably most famous for his work with Alfred Hitchcock but Terry Davies (who is brilliantly arranging the music) and I decided to concentrate on the pre-Hitchcock music and have uncovered some real gems. Various concert pieces and suites from his earlier films have proved very rich sources of material. Who knew that “Citizen Kane” was full of dance music; and has there ever been a more bittersweet and moving film score than that for “The Ghost and Mrs Muir”? These both feature heavily, as does the one, post “Red Shoes” era piece. The score for the 1966 movie “Fahrenheit 451” is both magical and unsettling and the perfect sound world for “The Red Shoes” Ballet. It also gives us the sense that the Ballet Lermontov are creating something “new” and slightly futuristic. I’m very proud to be presenting much of this music in the theatre for the first time. There is so much to enjoy musically here; I think it will be one of the revelations of this piece. Design always plays such a big part in New Adventures productions. What have been the challenges on this project? My Associate Designer, Lez Brotherston, has taken on another enormous challenge with this production. Firstly, to create an adaptable theatrical space depicting both onstage and backstage, as well as a range of locations from Covent Garden to Monte Carlo, but also to allow for those flights of fancy that take us out of the literal theatrical world and into the sensuous and surreal world of artistic endeavour. For this, Lez and I also rely heavily on the brilliance of our lighting designer, Paule Constable who always manages to surprise and thrill me with her own vision of what we are all trying to achieve. 704.372.1000 | BlumenthalArts.org
13D
Do you relate personally to any of the characters in the story? Perhaps not surprisingly I have found myself agreeing with much of what Lermontov says in the movie. I am nothing like him, of course, and I do acknowledge that some of his views are a little extreme today, but I do understand his particular kind of love for Vicky and his love of his company and dance in general. Nothing else seems as important to him. As I get older, I recognise that sentiment more and more.

SIR MATTHEW BOURNE (Artistic Director, New Adventures & Re:Bourne) Matthew Bourne is widely hailed as the U.K.’s most popular and successful choreographer and director. For close to 30 years he has been creating and directing dance for musicals, opera, theatre, film as well as his own highly successful, award-winning companies. Matthew is the creator of the world’s longest running ballet production, a seven-time Olivier Award winner, and the only British director to have won the Tony Award for both Best Choreographer and Best Director of a Musical.As Artistic Director of his first company, Adventures in Motion Pictures (1987-2002) Matthew created many award winning works. Further hit productions were created when New Adventures was launched in 2002, becoming the U.K.’s busiest and most successful dance company.Matthew’s choreography for musical theater includes South Pacific (National Theatre) and Cameron Mackintosh’s productions of Oliver!, My Fair Lady and Mary Poppins.In 2008 he established his charity Re:Bourne to increase opportunities that inspire young people with a passion for dance.
BERNARD HERRMANN, 1911-1975, (Music) From his first film, “Citizen Kane”, to his last, “Taxi Driver”, Herrmann was a master at evoking psychological nuance and dramatic tension through music, often using unheard-of instrumental combinations to suit the dramatic needs of a film. His movie scores are amongst the most distinguished ever written, ranging from the fantastic “The Day the Earth Stood Still”, “Fahrenheit 451”, through the romantic “Obsession”, “The Ghost and Mrs Muir”, to the terrifying “Psycho”. It seems fitting that a composer who blazed new trails across the emerging media of the Twentieth Century - radio, cinema and television - is finding fresh appreciation in the age of connectivity, as his influence on the art of dramatic music continues to grow into the Twenty First Century. Born in New York City on 29 June, 704.372.1000 | BlumenthalArts.org
WHO’S WHO in the COMPANY
1911. He studied conducting and composition at the New York University and the Juilliard School, where his teachers included Philip James and Percy Grainger. He became part of Aaron Copland’s Young Composers Group and at the age of 22 made his first major public appearance as a conductor. In 1934 Herrmann was appointed as conductor of the CBS Symphony Orchestra and composed several works for radio drama pioneers such as Norman Corwin and Orson Welles. Welles asked Herrmann to write the music to “Citizen Kane” in 1940. During the following decade Herrmann managed to align a film career that included his Oscar®-winning “The Devil and Daniel Webster” and the classic “The Ghost and Mrs Muir” with his New York based appearances as conductor and composer for CBS. In 1951, after CBS was forced to shut the radio orchestra, Herrmann moved to Hollywood as a freelance composer working in films for artists such as: Robert Wise, “The Day the Earth Stood Still”; Fred Zinnemann, “A Hatful of Rain”; Ray Harryhausen, “The 7th Voyage of Sinbad”; and, most importantly, Alfred Hitchcock, with whom he collaborated on classics including “North by Northwest”, “Vertigo” and “Psycho”. By the 1960s he had relocated to London where he recorded his musical works for major labels, notably Decca, and composed for a new generation of directors including François Truffaut on “Fahrenheit 451” and Brian De Palma on “Obsession.” He died on the morning of Christmas Eve 1975, having just completed recording his score to Martin Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver”. Herrmann was married three times: to novelist Lucille Fletcher from 1939 to 1948 (two daughters); then to Lucy Anderson from 1949 to 1964; and, finally, to Norma Shepherd - a journalist, producer and presenter for the BBC in London - in 1968. Steven C. Smith “As a composer I might class myself as a NeoRomantic, inasmuch as I have always regarded music as a highly personal and emotional form of expression. I like to write music which takes its inspiration from poetry, art and nature. I do not care for purely decorative music. Although I am in sympathy with modern idioms, I abhor music which attempts nothing more than the illustration of a stylistic fad. And in using modern techniques, I have tried at all times to subjugate them to a larger idea or a grander human feeling.” - Bernard Herrmann MICHAEL POWELL AND EMERIC PRESSBURGER The film-making partnership of the British Michael Powell (1905-1990) and Hungarian Emeric Pressburger (1902-1988) produced many classics 704.372.1000 | BlumenthalArts.org
of British cinema such as The Red Shoes, A Matter Of Life and Death, Black Narcissus, I Know Where I’m Going and The Life and Death Of Colonel Blimp. Their imagination and visual extravagance stands out against the realist tendencies of the time, and many film-makers, such as Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and George A. Romero, have cited them as a major influence.
The pair met in 1939 at Alexander Korda’s London Films. Powell’s poignant film THE EDGE OF THE WORLD had brought him to the attention of the mogul and Pressburger was working as a screenwriter, having fled the Nazis in Germany. In 1943 they established their own company, ‘The Archers’, and routinely shared a ‘written, produced and directed by’ credit. Their partnership officially ended in 1957, although they would later re-unite for a couple of films.
In 1981 Powell and Pressburger were recognised for their contributions to British cinema with the BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award, the most prestigious award given by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
TERRY DAVIES (Orchestrations) is an associate artist of New Adventures and has composed the music for The Car Man, Play Without Words, Edward Scissorhands, Dorian Gray and Lord of the Flies. Along with Matthew, he won an Olivier Award for Play Without Words. Terry has also composed many scores for the National Theatre, RSC, West End and many other theatres. As well as his compositions, he has conducted the music for about 70 feature films and a similar number of TV programmes. The films include Florence Foster Jenkins, Youth (Best Song nomination, Academy Awards 2016), Mr. Turner (nominated Best Original Score, Academy Awards 2015), The King’s Speech (Best Motion Picture, Academy Awards), The Illusionist (nominated Best Animated Feature Film, Academy Awards), Brideshead Revisited, Kinky Boots, and Shakespeare in Love (Best Motion Picture, Best Music etc, Academy Awards 1999). He conducted Renée Fleming in Verdi and Bellini for A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Mira Nair’s film of Vanity Fair featured Terry’s dance music. He was Music Director for Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep nominated Best Actress, Academy Awards 2017) and coached Michelle Williams for My Week With Marilyn (nominated Best Actress, Academy Awards 2012) and Michael Caine for his conducting role in Youth.

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.
