Once upon a time - more than magic was about to happen the night before Christmas. This show presents themes of human compassion, love, and friendships while spinning a well-known holiday tale and putting out fun, cool vibes.

Aru Dell'Arte is determined in its mission to bring the Legendary, vibrant story to Capital residents. Moving past outdated scenes from the original Nutcracker, the company is excited to present a diversity of characters, elevate female-lead roles, and include a gender-neutral approach in dance partnering.

Christmas Legend was dubbed as a new-era Nutcracker by audiences and national media channels. With two premiere shows being SOLD OUT, we are excited to return to the Washington DC spotlight.

THE NIGHTSONG OF ORPHEUS

PRESENTED BY CULTURALDC’S SOURCE THEATRE RESIDENT ORGANIZATION:

INSERIES

THE NIGHTSONG OF ORPHEUS

by Claudio Monteverdi
in partnership with THEATRE NOHGAKU
performed in English and Japanese

Claudio Monteverdi, the father of opera, most likely wrote his famed “Orpheus - A Fable in Music” and his iconic “Vespers” in the same year. As a new creation blending together these towering masterpieces, THE NIGHTSONG OF ORPHEUS connects the first opera still performed with the oldest theatrical forms still practiced. Collaborating with Japanese Noh specialists from Theatre Nohgaku, this one-of-a-kind performance weaves together haunting baroque melody, poetry, and dance, with the ancient masked musical and dramatic tradition from Japan. At its center is the immortal myth of love, loss, and the power of music. An orchestra of baroque musicians, a cast of seven thrilling local vocal-actors, and Theatre Nohgaku’s legendary performers bring this new work, performed for the first time in Japanese and English, to life. Join the second weekend of performances and journey to the underworld yourself at the magical Dupont Underground!

Directed and Conducted by Timothy Nelson
