DAYTON PERFORMING ARTS ALLIANCE PROUDLY ANNOUNCES
THE 2016–2017 SEASON
Season Features Powerful Personalities, Real-life and Legendary
DAYTON, OH - The Dayton Performing Arts Alliance (DPAA) is ready to
electrify Southwest Ohio with the 2016–2017 Excite Season for Dayton
Ballet, Dayton Opera and Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. The new
season was announced on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2015 to 2,000
patrons at the Schuster Center in Dayton, Ohio.
The three DPAA Artistic Directors, Thomas Bankston, Dayton Opera;
Karen Russo Burke, Dayton Ballet; and Neal Gittleman, Dayton
Philharmonic, as well as DPAA President and CEO Paul Helfrich, were on
stage to make the announcement.
Subscriber Ticket Packages for all eight DPAA Excite Season traditional
series went on sale on Monday, January 4, 2016. Current subscribers
received their renewal packages in the mail during the first part of
January. Current subscribers get first dibs on their currently held seats
but only until March 1, 2016, when unsold seats will be released. All four
Signature Events (Vive la France!, Dracula: Bloodlines, New Year’s Eve:
American Vistas, Carmen) and the Special Event, Handel’s Messiah, may
be purchased only by DPAA series subscribers until the single ticket
on-sale date scheduled for June 1, 2016. These five events may be
ordered as Wildcard add-ons for the Masterworks Nine and Family Four
packages but not as part of Create Your Own or FlexPass packages.
Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra tunes as
the audience enters the Mead Auditorium,
one of the finest acoustic and performing
spaces in North America.
Season Ticket Packages may be ordered by calling Ticket Center Stage at
(888) 228-3630, by visiting daytonperformingarts.org, or by visiting the
box office in the Schuster Center Wintergarden.
Under the direction of the DPAA Artistic Directors, the Excite Season
features distinctive performing artists from the world over, music from
creative paragons ranging from Mozart to Sinatra to Queen, and even
works inspired by historical or fabled figures such as Scheherazade,
Indiana Jones, Dracula, Alexander Nevsky, Carmen, Darth Vader and more.
It is a season packed with potent personas.

“I’m always happy when we announce the coming season’s programs and
repertoire,” observes DPAA President and CEO Paul Helfrich. “It’s the
culmination of an intensive and complex planning process that begins well
over a year in advance. It’s a thrill to unveil the results and to start getting
excited about the coming season—so much so that we’ve chosen “Excite”
as our theme for the year! The 2016–2017 season builds on four years of
working together as an Alliance and celebrates our unique-in-the-nation
collaboration in bringing exciting, innovative works to the stage. From
Dracula to Carmen, from Mozart to Mahler, from Billy Joel to John Williams,
the new season offers something for everyone. We hope you will join us!”
THE SEASON OPENS WITH A TRIBUTE TO THE
CLASSICAL ARTS HERITAGE OF FRANCE
The excitement kicks off on September 17, 2016 at the Schuster Center
with a powerful Season Opening Spectacular entitled Vive la France! All
three art forms—Dayton Opera, Dayton Ballet, and Dayton Philharmonic,
along with DPAA’s combined choral forces—come together to present a
kaleidoscopic view of the French classical arts, all in one unforgettable
evening! Opera and ballet take primacy in the first half of the program with
excerpts from works by masters such as Camille Saint-Saëns and his grand
opera Samson and Delilah, which includes dance accompanying the famous
Bacchanale scene. Also included will be orchestral works, many paired with
dance, from composers Gounod, Berlioz, Debussy, Offenbach and Ravel.
The program will close with songs from the hit musical Les Misérables.
This is a Signature Event and is part of the Dayton Opera Series season
subscription ticket package. Signature Events are those programs that
include significant roles for all three art forms: Ballet, Opera and Orchestra.
Throughout the season, eight traditional DPAA series provide experiences
that present the classical arts with an eye toward discovery, insight, and
drama.
DAYTON OPERA
HEART-WRENCHING TRAGEDY, ROLLICKING EXOTICISM,
AND IRRESISTABLE ALLURE
Dayton Opera Artistic Director Thomas Bankston has prepared a season
that traverses a wide range of ravishing music and high drama. Following
the Season Opening Spectacular, three more productions also demonstrate
that irrepressible “Bankston magic.” November brings Italian composer

Left: John Pickle takes the lead role in
Leoncavallo's I Pagliacchi.
Ruggero Leoncavallo’s tragedy I Pagliacci, a classic opera touchstone
beloved around the world. The opera artfully reveals, in a show within a show,
how absurdity and heartbreak play out side-by-side in life. Masterpieces by
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are woven throughout the 2016–2017 DPAA
season, including the Opera season. Mozart’s buoyant The Abduction
from the Seraglio, comes to the stage in March. With echoes of the
master’s The Magic Flute, it promises to be a real crowd-pleaser. In May,
the Dayton Philharmonic and the full complement of Dayton Ballet dancers
join the Opera for a big, splashy Signature Event: Georges Bizet’s beloved
and brilliant masterpiece Carmen. The Opera Series is available as a fourperformance package. Carmen is also part of the Masterworks Nine.
DAYTON BALLET
A WORLD PREMIERE OF GOTHIC PROPORTIONS,
AN ALL-TIME FAMILY FAVORITE,
AND TWO DIVERSE REPERTORY SHOWS
Dayton Ballet Artistic Director Karen Russo Burke transports the
audience to fog-shrouded Transylvania and expands the vista from there.
The resulting World Premiere, Dracula: Bloodlines, is truly a fantastical,
groundbreaking experience. This DPAA Signature Event—performed
in October at the historic Victoria Theatre—expands Bram Stoker’s
original spine-chilling tale to completely new dimensions with specially
commissioned music by Austin K. Jaquith, composer for concert and film.
It includes operatic vocals, the DPO in the orchestra pit, completely new
stagecraft and costumes by designer Ray Zupp, and, of course, awe-inspiring
dance, newly choreographed by Karen Russo Burke. It is a must-see.
Mozart’s The Abduction from the Seraglio
is a Dayton Opera debut.

Tchaikovsky’s beloved The Nutcracker gets better every year and returns
for ten dates in December. For 2017, Dayton Ballet presents two exciting
repertory shows.
The first, in the romantic month of February, called Duets, comprises
multiple works that explore the range of intimate emotions between two
people in a way that only dance can express.
The second, The Female Factor, shines a bright light on the limitless
ingenuity and talent of some of the most highly regarded female
choreographers of our era, such as Jessica Lang and Suzanne Payne.
The Ballet Series is available as a four-performance package.

For starters, the Premier Health Masterworks Series places Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart at the center of the 2016–2017 musical universe as we
celebrate his vast impact on our musical heritage. Fittingly, his Symphony
No. 1 (composed when he was eight) opens the first program and his
Requiem closes the last program. Along the way, arts patrons will enjoy
Mozart’s delightful Violin Concerto No. 3, performed by the poetic,
imaginative Yevgeny Kutik, the brilliant and universally loved “Jupiter”
Symphony No. 41, and the Oboe Concerto, persuasively articulated by
our own Eileen Whalen. When reflecting on the miracle that is Mozart,
one naturally thinks about musical prodigies, so we have brought
three together for the May concert featuring works by Mozart and
Mendelssohn. Twelve-year-old prodigy Gavin George, pianist, performs
Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No. 1. Mendelssohn himself made his
public debut as pianist at age nine! Neal has selected Mei-Ann Chen to
conduct the program. “Stunning, just stunning…” Dallas Morning News
enthuses over this dynamic young conductor. On the topic of brilliant
prodigies, 16-year-old wunderkind pianist Anastasia Risikov performs
Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme from Paganini on the opening
Masterworks program. Dayton music fans are sure to fall under her
mesmerizing spell.
Along with Mozart, the procession of larger-than-life figures continues
when Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade spins her exotic musical
tales, Sergei Prokofiev breathes musical life into Sergei Eisenstein’s
cinematic masterpiece Alexander Nevsky, and the glowing inner soul of
nature is revealed via Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons with DPO’s
Concertmaster Jessica Hung in the lead role.
Gustav Mahler is the creative titan who took the symphonic form a giant
step into the twentieth century. His Symphony No. 5 is a remarkable
turning point for orchestral music and stands tall as one of the highlights
of the season. The avatar of French musical Impressionism, Claude
Debussy, is represented by his work Images, which paints luminous
pictures of England, Spain and France in glorious orchestral sound.

Masterworks Series is available as either a nine- or six-concert series. The

DAYTON PHILHARMONIC CLASSICAL CONNECTIONS
THE MUSIC SERIES THAT PUTS IT ALL TOGETHER
For those who enjoy their classics along with entertaining context,
Neal Gittleman hosts and conducts the popular Demirjian Classical
Connections Series. For two decades, Neal has built this concept into
a central tradition of the Dayton arts scene. This season he takes an indepth look at the music of Gandolfi and his Cosmic Garden, the pairing of
Prokofiev’s music and Eisenstein’s movie, Debussy’s Impressionism, and
finally, a whole new take on Mozart’s Requiem, featuring the music of
contemporary composers Sleeping Giant. Each concert comes complete
with a Q&A with Maestro Gittleman and a free scoop of Graeter’s ice
cream following the performance in the Wintergarden. The Classical
Connections Series is available as a four-performance package.
DAYTON PHILHARMONIC CHAMBER
MUSIC TO DELIGHT THE NEWCOMER AND AFICIONADO ALIKE
The Philharmonic’s star players continue to fill the DAI Renaissance
Auditorium with glorious music for the Sunday afternoon Chamber Series.
“Girl power” is the watchword for the opening program, String Quartet
Gems, when the all-female DPO Principal String Quartet takes the stage
in November. Next, the stellar talents of DPO Concertmaster Jessica
Hung and her accomplished colleagues are on display for the January
concert, Concertmaster’s Choice. Dayton Opera Artists-in-Residence
are accompanied by musicians from the DPO in Sound and Song, and the
DPO Brass and Percussion Players take over for the series finale under the
baton of Patrick Reynolds for Fantastic Brass.
This series has rapidly become the region’s go-to experience for chamber
music, sometimes traditional, sometimes contemporary, but always
exceptional. The Chamber Series is available as a four-performance
package.

rising star in the entertainment firmament who is stealing the mantle of
“heartthrob” from the Bublés and Grobans of the world. His name is Mark
Masri and he’ll be bringing his romantic program Once Upon a Love Song
to the Schuster Center in spring. If you think Star Wars fever will cool by
next year, think again. Star Wars VIII is planned for a release in May 2017

DAYTON PHILHARMONIC ROCKIN’ ORCHESTRA
