Ballet Music That Stands Alone | Adelaide News

The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra turned ballet music into pure sonic magic with “A Night at the Ballet,” spotlighting iconic scores from Bernstein, Prokofiev, Rodgers, and Tchaikovsky—stripped of dance, amplified by emotion. Opening with Bernstein’s playful “On the Town,” they wove a tragic love story through Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet,” then spun joy with Rodgers’ “Carousel” before closing with Tchaikovsky’s beloved “Nutcracker Suite.” Conductor Jonathan Lo brought fire and flair, weaving storytelling into every note and adding cinematic projections for visual flair. Families packed the hall, kids danced in their seats, and the orchestra proved these ballet gems are powerful enough to stand alone—don’t miss their next show.
