Bollinger weaves a radiant tribute to the vitality of life\, drawing inspiration from ragtime\, boogie–woogie\, and classical music. \n​Twyla Tharp’s romantic\, tender\, playful\, and exuberant Nine Sinatra Songs brings the season to a spectacular close. Decked out in costumes by Oscar de la Renta\, dancers swing\, swirl\, tango\, and cha–cha through a glittering ballroom while tracing an arc of romantic relationships. Elizabeth Kendall of The New York Times said\, “Nine Sinatra Songs struck me as something rare: An American masterpiece.” \n​Radiance guarantees an electrifying performance that will captivate and uplift your spirits. \n​Join us for the post–performance Curtain Chat\, where you can engage with the artists and share your insights on this spellbinding experience.
