Stories from history, literature, and fairy tales have always occupied a special place in musical theatre. The ‘Theatre through the Ages’ subscription package will show how actual events from the past, reflected in literature, can be transformed when they encounter the mediums of opera and ballet. A power struggle, a conspiracy, vengeance, and a prison escape underpin the enthralling musical themes in Un ballo in maschera and Tosca. The creators of the ballet "I Love You, Peter’s Creation..." were inspired by the memory of St. Petersburg’s founder and their admiration for Pushkin, whose immortal poem The Bronze Horseman is a celebration of this great city. And memories of the elegant and gallant French royal court will be revived and refreshed in The Sleeping Beauty.
