The Sleeping Beauty
This, China’s national symphony, was originally founded as the Central Philharmonic Orchestra of China in 1956. With a prestigious history, CNSO’s audiences have been thrilled by famous conductors, such as Herbert von Karajan, Seiji Ozawa, Charles Dutoit, and Kurt Masur, as well as instrumentalists such as Yehudi Menuhin, Isaac Stern, Yo-Yo Ma, and Lang Lang. Their program at Three Stages will include Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2. Sponsored by Capital Public Radio.
Under the artistic direction of the legendary Elena Radchenko, a principal dancer with the Bolshoi Ballet, the Russian National Ballet Theatre was founded during Perestroika, when many principal dancers from the great ballet companies migrated to RNBT. Today, it is its own institution comprised of exquisite dancers of singular instruction and vast experience. Ms. Radchenko notes “what makes the Russian ballet tradition so great is that we preserve the original intent of the work, which is eternally new and fresh.” Music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikowski.
