A new double bill from Philadelphia Ballet and choreographer Angel Corella looks to answer that question as it opens Carmen and Boléro this week, and we preview the show for you. We also covered Carmen back in 2023, so it'll be great to see what new passion comes with this iteration. Be sure to read what contributor Camille Bacon-Smith has to say this time around.
We also preview more classical music as October continues to be a robust and busy month on stage. Then, we review Delaware Shakespeare's presentation of Two Gentlemen and Verona, and this week's roundup previews Inis Nua's Why I Stuck a Flare Up My Arse for England and the third annual Cookbooks and Convos series from Sisterly Love Collective.
Be good, Philly!
