The Other Mozart – The forgotten story of Mozart’s genius sister
Tuesday, March 9th
7:30PM – 10:00PM

The Other Mozart – The forgotten story of Mozart’s genius sister

The forgotten story of Mozart’s genius sister. The Other Mozart is an award-winning, Drama Desk nominated play telling the true, forgotten story of Nannerl Mozart, the genius sister of Amadeus, who performed throughout Europe alongside him to equal acclaim, but her work and her story faded away, lost to history. Set in a stunning 18-foot dress, inspired by the Mozart family’s hilarious and heartbreaking letters, this award-winning production by playwright Sylvia Milo ushers you into a world of opulence and delight – obscured by restriction and prejudice. Music score by Nathan Davis and Phyllis Chen (Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival) brings Nannerl’s musical imagination to life using clavichords, music boxes, teacups and fluttering fans. With the opulent beauty of the dress, the sweet smell of perfume, the sublime enveloping sound and the clouds of dusting powder rising from the stage, the performance creates a multi-sensual experience. There, in communion with the audience, this other Mozart at last tells her story. “Strikingly beautiful” – New York Times “A gem of a show” – The Stage (London) “dazzling, original performance… hauntingly beautiful compositions… the dress is worthy of a gallery installation all its own.” – LA Times “fascinating and irresistibly intelligent… it is beautiful.” – Theatermania “This show is the height of theatrical achievement.” — Theater is Easy

Five Alarm

Directed by Melissa Roberts. Produced by TBD. A fairground in Killaloe, Ontario is home to the annual Wayne Rose Memorial Chili Cook Off, where Killaloe residents come each year to compete for the honour and the cash prize. The most determined of these is Ava Rose, who has tried (and failed) to win for sixteen years. This year, with the help of a new assistant, Ava returns to battle her former childhood friend and rival. If she can piece together her late father's missing Five Alarm Chili recipe, she might just piece together the mysteries of her past. Author: Kristen Da Silva. Ages: All Ages.

Macbeth
Tuesday, April 27th
7:30PM – 10:00PM

Macbeth

Alysa Pires’ wildly successful theatrical ballet, Macbeth, explores the dark side of human nature. The timeless themes of ambition, power, and corruption that characterize William Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy infuse this high-stakes piece with drama and suspense. An original score of toil and trouble by Canadian composer Adam Sakiyama and stunning visuals by Okanagan artist Jane Everett set the scene for an exploration of psychological decay. ABOUT BALLET KELOWNA Founded in 2002 in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, Ballet Kelowna is a creation-based company that has evolved into a pivotal force within Canada’s dance landscape. Championing the presentation of contemporary ballet, the company’s prolific repertoire resonates with diverse audiences across the country.
