Rob Adams, instructor of basic design and drawing, has painted the backdrop for Visions d'Amour: 10 Ballets in Paris, a ballet at the Soreng Theater at the Hult Center of Performing Arts, October 9-10.Ballet Fantastique's critically-acclaimed chamber company presents a dramatic taste of Paris in ten short ballets. It's a don't-miss "tour en Francais," from operatic drama to the flair of the Moulin Rouge cabaret.
Eugene composer Jeremy Schropp and his live orchestra join Ballet Fantastique on stage in a ballet of sophisticated French frivolity, "Night at the Cafe Terrace." Van Gogh's painting, as re-envisioned by Northwest artist Rob Adams, lights up this nighttime Paris scene.
Visions of love will carry you from hauntingly beautiful operatic stories by Jules Massanet, Gabriel Faure, and Georges Bizet, to the playful "Papillion" (with guest pianist John Jantzi), and back to rosy Parisian romances with the music of French chanteuses Edith Piaf and Carla Bruni.
