LA BELLE HELENE The second - and equally famous - of Offenbach's highly diverting satires on a well-known legend. The action takes place (without any regard for credibility) in unspecified ancient times in a unlikely ancient Greece, and concerns the abduction of the fair Helen by the Prince of Troy - aided and abetted by a wily oracle-worker, who outwits Helen's much deceived husband and an assortment of royal Grecian heroes. The score includes some of Offenbach's best-loved melodies.
CAPITAL CITY SYMPHONY
Fall Concerts 2010
The Capital City Symphony fall concerts both hold special appeal for young people, as well as for adults. Every other year the Capital City Symphony features the winner of the Ylda Novik Memorial Piano Competition. This year's winner, 15-year-old pianist Sarah Barham, will be the guest artist for the October 17th concert, playing Liszt's Totentanz.The October concert takes the idea of the dance through some twists, from Liszt's “Dance of Death” to the dead dancing on Bald Mountain, and concluding with Beethoven’s 7th Symphony, which Wagner referred to as “the apotheosis of the dance” because of its lively rhythms. The program will include Liszt, Totentanz, with pianist Sarah Barham; Mussorgsky/Rimsky-Korsakov, Night on Bald Mountain; and Beethoven, Symphony No. 7.Capital City SymphonySYMPHONY DANCE!With guest artist Sarah Barham, pianoSunday, October 17 at 5:00pmAtlas Performing Arts Center, 1333 H Street NE, Washington, DC 20002Tickets: $20/25 Adult; $16/20 Senior/Student;
