Verb Ballets To Bring The Supernatural To Life With Rock Maestro Neil Zaza
Rock maestro Neil Zaza presents One Dark Night..., A Rock Symphony of the Macabre, on Saturday, October 19, 2019 at 8:00pm at the Akron Civic Theatre. This orchestral exploration mixes dark, powerful arrangements of macabre classical masterpieces by Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Prokofiev, Saint-Saëns and more with the fury of a rock band and string orchestra. Verb Ballets will make a guest appearance, building on the inventive collaboration from the summer, to bring rock and ballet together on stage. Zaza will enthrall audiences on a musical journey with a visually impressive stage set, light show and multi-media screens to tell the evil tale of the monster within.
Verb Ballets will perform the critically acclaimed Adagio Reimagined plus two new choreographic works by company dancers Antonio Morillo and Daniel Cho. Choreographer Sabatino Verlezza choreographed Adagio Reimagined to Zaza's rock score of Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor. Verlezza was a soloist with the May O'Donnell Dance Company and served as co-artistic director/choreographer of Dancing Wheels. Morillo and Cho will bring new visualize to the fiery interpretation of Zaza's keen melodic sense and technical fury. Together these artists will build upon these classic selections to demonstrate technical virtuosity with rock style that fit the dark spirit of the Halloween season.
Never before has Halloween and the season of the supernatural come to life like this!
