Fall Series: The Legend of Lizzie Borden, October 6-8, 2006, Polk Theater at TPAC. The highlight of the fall series is Artistic Director Paul Vasterling’s own spin on the infamous legend of Lizzie Borden. In 1892, she was found innocent of the brutal axe murders of her father and stepmother, a verdict that is still debated to this day. This original ballet is choreographed to Fall River Legend, composer Morton Gould’s dark musical interpretation of Lizzie Borden’s controversial story. Come judge for yourself; did she or didn’t she? (Brief nudity, parental discretion advised.)
The Nashville Symphony performs for The Legend of Lizzie Borden and the three accompanying ballets: Journey, Serenade and Lydian Fanfares. Salvatore Aiello’s Journey showcases the athleticism of the company’s male dancers. George Balanchine’s beautiful Serenade, his first ballet performed in the United States, is set to the music of Tchaikovsky. The program will also include a special tribute to the late Maestro Kenneth Schermerhorn with a ballet set to his composition, Lydian Fanfares.
