CARMINA BURANA and EXTREMELY CLOSE Runs Nov. 4-6

CB_Carmina Burana promoCARMINA BURANA and EXTREMELY CLOSE
Cincinnati Ballet
Nov. 4-6
Springer Auditorium Music Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

Carmina Burana is the perfect union of music and dance. One of the best known works of the 20th century, the opening of Carl Orff’s secular cantata is recognizable to almost all who hear it. This Season, Cincinnati Ballet artists will perform Nicolo Fonte’s bold choreography, accompanied by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the May Festival Chorus, celebrating its 150th Anniversary Season in 2023. Carmina Burana is based upon a rediscovered collection of poetry dating back to the 11th century. Orff set 24 of the poems to music in 1936.

Part art installation and part movement drama, Alejandro Cerrudo’s Extremely Close creates a sense of restlessness as dancers negotiate their way through a perpetually shifting environment. Propelled by changing landscapes, Cerrudo weaves a mesmerizing spell of movement punctuated by fleeting moments of intense intimacy with music by composers Philip Glass and Dustin O’Halloran.

Walton Creek Theatre

Directed by Jennifer Day

Cast: Anna Hazard as Daphne Rain, Ryan Bowron as Ralph Sargent, Stefanie Adams as Dean Trickett, Eric Day as Dionysus, Natasha Boeckmann as Thalia, Alex Soldano as Ares, Ashley Herbert as Brooklyn DeWolfe & Christie Bishop as Aristide/Alexis

Daphne and Ralph are young classics professors who have just made a discovery that’s sure to turn them into academic superstars, but something goes disastrously wrong. The Ivy League will never be the same as a pair of screwball deities encounters the carnal complexity of college coeds, campus capers, and conspicuous consumption.

MSJ_Miss Bennett logoMISS BENNET: CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY
Mount St. Joseph University Theatre Arts
Nov. 3-12
MSJ Williams Recital Hall [Delhi Township]

Directed by Lauren Carr

From America’s most produced playwright, comes this charming and cleverly imagined sequel to Pride and Prejudice. It is two years later, and the Bennet family gathers at Pemberley to celebrate Christmas
together. Unlike her witty and vibrant sisters, Mary Bennet is unmarried, nerdy, and growing tired of her role as the obedient middle sister. But an unexpected guest gives Mary the boost she needs to embrace her independence and find true love. Miss Bennet is an energetic, witty, and romantic holiday comedy about family, awkward love and personal transformation that will delight and enchant Jane Austen aficionados and newcomers alike.

  • Thu-Fri, Nov. 3-4 at 7pm
  • Fri, Nov. 11 at 7pm
  • Sat, Nov. 12 at 2pm (ASL interpreted)

A DREAM PLAY Runs Nov. 3-8

CCM_A Dream Play logoA DREAM PLAY
UC College-Conservatory of Music
Nov. 3-8
Cohen Family Studio Theater [University Heights]

Directed by Vincent DeGeorge

A young woman from another world is sent to earth to see what it is like to be human. In Strindberg’s A Dream Play, written in 1901, the playwright has sought to imitate the disconnected but apparently logical form of a dream. Anything can happen, everything is possible and plausible. Time and space do not exist. Using the backdrop of real-life events, Strindberg spins new patterns of memories, experiences, inventions and absurdities all in the quest to discover if life is really worth living. 100 minutes, no intermission.

  • Thu-Fri, Nov. 3-4 at 8pm
  • Sat, Nov. 5 at 2pm & 8pm
  • Sun, Nov. 6 at 2pm
