Forests, ghosts, bargains, and stories with a shadow at their edge.
From the seasonal favorite to the worlds I want to explore next.
A long evening, but the care in the ensemble work made it rewarding. The final act had a wonderful sense of celebration. I would be curious to see a different production.
The balance and musical phrasing were extraordinary. I liked having time to notice the different qualities of each variation. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
