SUMMARY:Boston Ballet presents Fall Experience
DESCRIPTION:Fall Experience features two striking contemporary works: Akram Khan’s Vertical Road (Reimagined) 2023\, and Alexander Ekman’s Cacti. Vertical Road (Reimagined) 2023 explores humanity’s earthly nature\, rituals\, and the consequences of our actions. This mesmerizing work becomes a meditation on the journey from gravity to grace. Alexander Ekman’s Cacti is a playful and rhythmically charged contemporary work created in 2010. Known for its wit\, physicality\, and clever commentary on the culture of dance and artistic interpretation\, Cacti was nominated for “Best New Modern Choreography” by the UK Dance Critics Foundation. Cacti is set to a complex score performed by the Boston Ballet Orchestra\, and a quartet\, playing on-stage. Whether you’re new to contemporary dance or simply curious\, this program promises an engaging live performance that is best experienced together in the theater. \nFor more information\, visit bostonballet.org or call 617.695.6955.

SUMMARY:Wicked
DESCRIPTION:See it LIVE. Remember it FOREVER. So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. WICKED\, the Broadway sensation\, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz… but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives\, there is another young woman\, born with emerald-green skin—smart\, fiery\, misunderstood\, and possessing an extraordinary talent. \nWhen she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular\, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good\,” and the other one “wicked.” From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment\, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. “If every musical had the brains\, heart and courage of WICKED\, Broadway really would be a magical place” (Time Magazine).

SUMMARY:William Tell (Guillaume Tell)
DESCRIPTION:William Tell (Guillaume Tell) \nMusic by Gioachino Rossini\nLibretto by Victor-Joseph Étienne de Jouy & L.F. Bis \nPerformed with the BLO Chorus & Orchestra \nA new BLO production \nEmerson Colonial Theatre \nFriday\, September 25 | 7:30pm\nSunday\, September 27 | 3:00pm\nFriday\, October 2 | 7:30pm\nSunday\, October 4 | 3:00pm \nSung in French with English supertitles \nYou’ve heard this music. But there’s more to the story.\nFrom the first notes of its world-famous overture\, Rossini’s final opera barrels forward as an epic ode to resistance\, freedom\, and the triumph of a united people over a tyrannical ruler. At the center of the action is William Tell – the legendary archer best known for successfully shooting an apple off his son’s head – leading a vibrant cast of characters who prove that ordinary people can be revolutionary together\, and that love anchors us when the world turns upside-down. \nBLO presents this heroic masterpiece in a fully staged Boston production for the first time in over 150 years\, with Vita Tzykun and David Adam Moore serving as co-directors. Conductor David Angus leads the BLO Orchestra and Chorus through Rossini’s sumptuous score\, with tour-de-force performances from George Gagnidze (William Tell)\, Anya Matanovič (Mathilde)\, Konu Kim (Arnold)\, Nina Yoshida Nelsen (Hedwige)\, Brianna J. Robinson (Jemmy)\, and more. \nBy arrangement with Hendon Music\, Inc.\, a Boosey & Hawkes company\, Sole Agent in the U.S.\, Canada and Mexico for Casa Ricordi/Universal Music Publishing Ricordi S.R.L.\, publisher and copyright owner. \nSurtitles rented from Kristen Barrett.

SUMMARY:The Milk Carton Kids Fall Tour
DESCRIPTION:On their seventh studio album\, Lost Cause Lover Fool (due April 24 on Far Cry/Thirty Tigers)\, The Milk Carton Kids offer nine songs that\, more than ever\, invite listeners to lean in close and linger inside the small moments the record quietly magnifies. \nWhen Los Angeles–based singer-songwriters Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan first emerged in 2011\, they did so with a sound as unassuming as their “marketing” plan. They recorded their ten-song debut\, Prologue\, with just their two guitars and two voices. They posted it online as a free download\, sending the link to friends via email. Even amidst the foot stomps and hand claps carrying Folk into the mainstream\, hundreds of thousands of people managed to find Prologue in that first year. From the beginning\, The Milk Carton Kids were more interested in precision than volume.
