Lord of the Dance, Orff, Shostakovitch

Not a technology post, but since I wanted to share this with a number of friends I'm posting this information here.

There will be a few great ballet/classical performances in the area:

  • Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance:  It's even better than River Dance.
    • In San Jose: Nov 23 and 24. (As of this writing the 2pm show on Saturday has the best seats)
    • In San Francisco: December 1 and 2 (Tickets will go on sale Sunday 10/14 10AM).
  • Two great shows with one ticket, by Ballet San Jose Nov 15-18:
    • Carl Orff's Carmina Burana
    • Summerscape - Dance cjoreographed for  Dimitri Shostakovich's Concerto No 2 in F Major for Piano and Orchestra, Opus 102

Ballet San Jose will have more of the usuals (the Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and heck, even Snow White!), but the main thing that made me excited about it was the Orff and Shostakovich shows.  If interested check out their 2007-2008 season.

Also for the fans of Persian classical music, here is the information in case you have not heard about the Dastan Ensemble concert with Salar Aghili.  San Jose performance is on Oct 28 - tickets are $35 and there is no seat assignment.
