On Saturday, the Wichita Grand Opera began its fifteenth season with a performance of Sergei Prokofiev’s Cinderella by the Russian National Ballet Theatre. I had the opportunity to review it for the Wichita Eagle, and here’s what I wrote.
Prokofiev

British pianist (and composer, author, etc.) Stephen Hough joined the Wichita Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Daniel Hege for a performance of two Beethoven piano concertos and Prokofiev’s “Classical” Symphony. You can read my brief write-up of the concert for The Wichita Eagle here.
