There will be a pre-show lecture and a talk back session after the show.

In his newest play, the lives of two high powered couples tangle during a private interior design competition.

The shocking end results in an elegant interplay between architectural design and marriage that only Jon Marans could weave!

Opera Company of Philadelphia Presents:  Abduction from the Seraglio

Mozart’s musical genius returns in a fresh, highly theatrical coproduction between the Opera Company of Philadelphia and Teatro Comunale of Treviso. Director Robert B. Driver and Italian designer Guia Buzzi – the team who brought OCP audiences a delightful Gianni Schicchi – team up once again for this humorous tale of a Turkish ruler’s comically passionate pursuit of his beautiful young prisoner. This new production sets the story in the 1920s, painting the resourceful heroine Konstanze as a spy, and Belmonte, her would-be rescuer, as a handsome pilot, brilliantly playing on the timeless human foibles that still make Mozart’s work ring true.

Painted Bride Art Center Presents:  Sheetal Gandhi's Bahu Beti-Biwi

North Indian Dance Theater from a femal perspective. A solo tour de force combining dance, stirring vocalization and punching text, Sheetal Gandhi’s magnetically rhythmic Bahu-Beti-Biwi (Daughter-in-law, Daughter, Wife) wraps North Indian music traditions and family characters into a contemporary exploration that segues between humorous portraiture and active resistance. Sheetal Gandhi is a multidisciplinary choreographer and performer. She creates work that is reflective of a life that embraces diversity, observes human experience and yearns to tell a story. Using a hybrid movement vocabulary influenced by Kathak, Modern and West African dance, as well as complex rhythmic structures, theatricality and vocally, her work reflects her love for Indian cultural tradition and disciplinary technique, with the equally urgent desire to break away from them.

Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture Presents:  Sonia M'Barek, Music of Andalusian Muwashahat

Born in Sfax, Tunisia, Sonia M’barek first performed to a live audience at the age of nine and was nationally recognized on TV in Tunis when she was twelve. Attending the national conservatory of music in Tunis, she graduated with a degree in Arab music in 1986. After her degree, she spent most of her time singing in musical theater productions such as Asker Ellil, Ete 61, and Didon, as well as the sound tracks for the film The Dance of Fire. Working with Tunisian oud players, she has presented more than thirty concerts of classical Arab music in a performance tour called Tarab. In 1999, after recording Takht, a CD which was widely distributed in Europe, the United States, and Japan, M’Barek became internationally recognized and began teaching and participating in global conferences, workshops, and master classes showcasing her keen ability with Arabic singing. In 2005, she was nominated by the Ministry of Culture in Tunisia to serve as the chair of the National Festival of Tunisian Music. She has performed in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Egypt, and Lebanon, including a tour in 2009 with Simon Shaheen at the Kennedy Center’s Arabesque Festival in Washington DC and other cities in the US.

Rumi is a 13th-Century poet loved by Christians, Muslims and Jews alike. The Illumination Band has taken Rumi's verse and married it to bluegrass, gospel, and Appalachian musical traditions. Soaring vocal harmonies, lilting melodies, and soulful blues give way to spoken-word poems. Blurring musical genres, crossing cultural boundaries, the Illumination Band concerts cover a lot of territory but always return to deep yearning for transcendence.

The Philadelphia Gay Men's Chorus Presents:  Changes: In Good Time

PGMC examines changes and development of gay life, and by extension, all life. We present selections from the song cycle, Changing Hearts, about how gay choruses have touched the lives of their members, which includes a humorous, tongue-in-cheek scrutiny of the gay dating scene. Also, we’ll perform “Wheels of a Dream” from Ragtime, among other tunes. The featured work is the Philadelphia premiere of Metamorphosis, part three of the song cycle preceded by Naked Man and Exile, written by Robert Seeley and Robert Espindola. Using the stages of life as an allegory, this stunning multi-movement piece explores our journey as a gay community over the decades through self-discovery, acceptance, and ultimately triumph. Metamorphosis is an uplifting work with a universal message about the soaring of human spirit which is sure to inspire.

The most shattering personal crisis of Tchaikovsky's life--his ill-conceived marriage to a young student in 1877--coincided with one of the greatest periods of his composing career. Over a mere two years, he poured out a stream of masterpieces, culminating in his Fourth Symphony, a 19th-century Russian music drama to rival the great literary dramas of Pushkin and Tolstoy. The young Russian knew he had achieved something extraordinary, calling his symphony "better than anything I've done so far."

Philadelphia Chamber Music Society Presents:  Artemis Quartet

The Berlin-based Artemis Quartet was founded at the Lübeck Musikhochschule in 1989. Since 1994 the four players have performed as a professional ensemble, quickly gaining a reputation as one of the leading ensembles of their generation. The ensemble's international stature was established by winning First Prizes at the ARD Competition in 1996 and soon thereafter First Prize at the Premio Borciani. A new phase of the chamber group's life began in July 2007 with Gregor Sigl and Friedemann Weigle becoming members of the string quartet.
