The orchestra will give its first performance of the famous suites from Prokofiev's <I>Romeo & Juliet</I>, the lush ballet score originally commissioned by the Kirov Ballet. <BR><BR>A contemporary look at lovers less ill-fated is offered by local composer Nathaniel Stookey, who describes <I>Zipperz</I> as "a story of love and sex, a breathless affair for two singers and orchestra." The singers, who meet for the first time on stage and are drawn into a series of sexual encounters, come to the Paramount straight from Broadway. Manoel Felciano recently starred opposite Patti LuPone in<I> Sweeney Todd</I>, and Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright, actress and singer Eisa Davis now appears in the rock musical <I>Passing Strange</I>. <BR><BR>A short, jazz-influenced piece by avant-garde composer and classical music "bad boy" George Antheil will round out the program. <BR><BR><I><B>Note:</B> </I>Zipperz<I> deals with adult subject matter and may not be appropriate for younger audiences. </I></FONT><BR></P></TD> <TD VALIGN="top" ALIGN="RIGHT" WIDTH="26"><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/line-vert.JPG" WIDTH="5" HEIGHT="374" BORDER="0"></TD> <TD VALIGN="top" ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="166"><IMG SRC="../image/200809/Felciano.JPG" WIDTH="185" HEIGHT="122" BORDER="0"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/200809/Davis.JPG" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="107" BORDER="0"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/200809/nathaniel_stookey.jpg" ALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="125" HEIGHT="125" BORDER="0"><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial"></FONT></TD> </TR> <TR STYLE="height:27.0pt" VALIGN="TOP"> <TD VALIGN="top" STYLE="width:291.85pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; height:27.0pt" ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH="30"> </TD> <TD VALIGN="top" STYLE="width:291.85pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; height:27.0pt" ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH="365"><I>"Nathaniel Stookey writes beautiful music about real life. </I>Zipperz<I> is the perfect project for him: intricate, entertaining, sexy and smart."</I><BR>~ Conductor Edwin Outwater</TD> <TD VALIGN="top" STYLE="width:117.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; height:27.0pt" ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH="26"> </TD> <TD VALIGN="top" ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH="166"></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY>
