Othello at Joffrey Ballet
Tomorrow is opening night of Joffrey Ballet's production of Othello. I have long been a fan of Elliot Goldenthal's film scores. But until I got booked to play this show, the only one of his concert works I was familiar with was his Brass Quintet No. 2. I strongly encourage everyone to see this performance. This is a true masterpiece in the ballet repertoire. That's right, I said masterpiece. Those who know me well, know that I don't throw the word "masterpiece" around very often. The last time I had this much fun was performing John Adams' Nixon in China with Chicago Opera Theater. From Joffrey's website...

Choreography by Lar Lubovitch
Music by Elliot Goldenthal
The Joffrey premiere of Lar Lubovitch’s full-length, three-act ballet! Chicago-born Lubovitch brings his rhapsodic interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic tale of passion, jealousy, ambition and betrayal. Lubovitch’s compelling synthesis of classical and modern movement is heightened by a powerful score by Academy Award winner Elliot Goldenthal
