Dancer/choreographer Jonathan Burrows and musician Matteo Fargion have spent the last ten years exploring the delicate boundaries between music and dance. Together they have built a body of duets that juxtapose the formality of music composition with a radical and open approach to performance and audiences. Performing together, they radiate delight, even as their work makes audiences think.

This hilarious courtroom comedy casts the audience as jury

to decide the fate of the Big Bad Wolf. He’s been slapped

with a class-action lawsuit by storybooks of quirky characters

who want to get even, including Little Red Riding Hood and

the Three Little Pigs. After hearing the evidence, it’s up to the

audience – was the Big Bad Wolf born a criminal or made one?

One of the most popular operas of all time, Amahl and the Night Visitors tells the story of a young shepherd boy, whose life changes forever when he sees an amazing star “as big as a window.” When three foreign kings following the star in search of a wondrous child encounter Amahl and his mother, the result is a timeless and inspiring message of how faith, charity, unselfish love and good deeds can work miracles.

Throughout his career, playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner has shed light on the marginalized and been an outspoken proponent of social justice. Best known for his two-part epic, Angels In America, which received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1993, Kushner gives voice “to characters who have been rendered powerless by the forces of circumstances” (The New Yorker).

Toeing the line between high art and high camp, Les Ballets Trockadero is an international phenomenon, beloved for its parodies of ballet classics like Swan Lake, as well as modern works. But the comedy of the Trocks is only outmatched by their technical prowess. This all-male ballet company, delicately stuffed into tutus and man-sized toe-shoes, will delight dance aficionados and newbies alike.

“This is a company that brings its audiences pure joy.”

Once tells the enchanting tale of a Dublin street musician who is about to give up on his dream when a beautiful young woman takes a sudden interest in his haunting love songs. As the chemistry between them grows, his music soars to new heights, but their unlikely connection turns out to be deeper and more complex than your everyday romance. Once is an unforgettable story about going for your dreams and the power of music to connect us all.

Jules Massenet’s score makes it perfectly clear: Cendrillon is a fairy tale. This witty tale, with Massenet’s delicate score, combines the sumptuousness of French operetta and the sense of magic and surprise of a Disney classic. Based on Perrault’s 1698 fairy tale, Massenet’s version will enthrall audiences, and is a wonderful introduction to the art form for younger audiences.
