2 MEMORABLE SUMMER MOMENTS
1
Kicking off an astounding summer season, Wolf Trap welcomed Grammynominated Americana rockers The Avett Brothers back for three exciting performances during the summer’s opening weekend. The #ThreeNightsofAvetts brought new patrons from around the country to the Filene Center, many of whom attended each night to enjoy a different set and opening act. Multi-night shows became a theme of summer 2019 with three rocking nights of Sting, two iconic performances of Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, multiple Broadway-worthy Rock of Ages shows, and a duo of magical nights of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire™ in Concert with the National Symphony Orchestra. Fans attending performances of Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! were treated to guest appearances by Chef José Andrés and opera star Renée Fleming. American Ballet Theatre also returned to the Filene Center for three dreamy performances of their romantic production of Swan Lake, including a Friday night performance by extraordinary Principal Dancer Misty Copeland as Odette/Odile.
“…THERE’S A THE VIBE IS THROUGH THE ROOF MOMENTOUS A ND THE SURROUNDINGS ARE FEELING, EXCEEDINGLY BEAUTIFUL.” –THE AVETT BROTHERS
