Maurice Ravel didn’t intend for Bolero to be about sex. But the popular response to his 1928 composition—and of course the film “10”—have argued otherwise. Now there’s a fresh testament to the music’s erotic power: City Ballet of San Diego’s “Bolero—The Awakening,” which premiered at the Balboa Theatre last weekend. The ballet by company co-founder Elizabeth Wistrich sizzles.
Following a brilliant account of Modest Mussorgsky’s ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’ last week, the San Diego Symphony returned to Civic Theatre Saturday, March 16, to play Rachmaninoff and Elgar under Lionel Bringuier.
Roger Reynolds’ multimedia Knowing/Not Knowing received its superbly mounted premiere Sunday, March 17, at UC San Diego Park & Market in San Diego’s East Village.
