T
he Highlands Performing Arts offers a trio of live performances in the month of December.
The Bolshoi Ballet Live from Moscow will present “Lady of Camellias” on Sunday, December 6, at 12:55 P.M. A young bourgeois, Armand Duval, falls madly in love with Marguerite Gautier, a gorgeous courtesan celebrated by the Parisian high society. Despite her infidelity, Armand will do all he can to win the beautiful woman’s heart and convince her to leave her indulgent life. The Bolshoi breathes new life into John Neumeier’s tragic masterpiece, inspired by Alexandre Dumas’ novel and accompanied by Chopin’s exquisite score. This production assumes a new emotional and dramatic texture that only the Bolshoi’s dancers
can deliver.
The National Theatre presents “Jane Eyre” on Saturday, December 12, at 1:00 P.M. Almost 170 years on, Charlotte Brontë’s story of the trailblazing Jane is as inspiring as ever. This bold and dynamic production uncovers one woman’s fight for freedom and fulfillment on
her own terms.
From her beginnings as a destitute orphan, Jane Eyre’s spirited heroine faces life’s obstacles head-on, surviving poverty, injustice, and the discovery of bitter betrayal before making the ultimate decision to follow her heart.
Director Sally Cookson brings her celebrated re-imagining of Brontë’s masterpiece production to the National.
The Holiday Classic “The Nutcracker” will be performed by the Bolshoi Ballet again this year on Sunday, December 20 at 12:55 P.M. This beloved holiday classic will enchant the whole family with its fairytale setting and Tchaikovsky’s timeless score. The Bolshoi’s version of “The Nutcracker” has a unique and beautiful sense of romance and philosophy, danced by the heroic Denis Rodkin as the courageous Prince and the magical Anna Nikulina as Marie.
