“Tonight, we partner Elgar in a youthful sun dance, join Verdi as he travels back to ancient Babylon and accompany Borodin In the Steppes of Central Asia. We glide swan-like on shimmering waves of joy as Liszt interprets Schubert, find a Tico-Tico bird in the cornmeal, and dance a mambo with Bernstein before the drama of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake brings our journey to a close.”
