Prokofiev%u2019s classic ballet has become the favorite of children worldwide. Imaginatively scored so that each character is represented by a particular instrument, the piece provides a playful way to introduce young audiences to the orchestra AND the ballet! This version of %u201CPeter & the Wolf%u201D will be narrated by Mr. Dalton Gregory, a retired elementary school principal and Denton City Councilman. %u201CCarnival of the Animals,%u201D one of Saint Saens%u2019 most well-known works, is a ballet set in 14 movements, each depicting an animal or set of animals. The Orchestration, with Conductor Jason Lim, is at once humorous, satirical, and virtuosic providing a perfect foundation for Racina-Torre%u2019s choreography, which will be both classical AND contemporary highlighting DCCB%u2019s wide range of talent. Ms. Janet Latham, a veteran storyteller through the Texas Storytelling Festival and Tejas Storytelling Association Summer Conference, will be narrating the %u201CCarnival of the Animals%u201D.
With both ballets offering original choreography, original costuming, and a live professional orchestra, this production promises to keep the audience fully engaged AND enchanted!
