"Carmina Burana," the work that launched Tulsa Ballet's Resident Choreographer Ma Cong's career, premiered in 2006 to rave reviews and overwhelming popular acclaim. It was glowingly re-staged in 2010 -- and now comes an another encore of Ma Cong's masterpiece. Tulsa Ballet will collaborate with members of Tulsa Opera, Tulsa Oratorio Chorus, and the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra in a monumental production of "Carmina Burana" on October 31st, November 1st, and November 2nd at the Tulsa PAC. Also included in the program is the Oklahoma Premiere of Nicolo Fonte's "Bolero," a work that some regard as one of the most exciting, athletic, and fast-paced ballets ever created. Fonte and Cong are our guests today on ST. (To learn more about this production, and to access a link for buying tickets, please go here.) Also on this edition of our show, we hear part of a recording that was made earlier this month at the StoryCorps Mobile Booth in downtown Tulsa -- it's a conversation between Dan and Felisa Hillbert, a married couple with three kids based in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. (The well-traveled, ever-popular StoryCorps Airstream Trailer facility will be parked at the Guthrie Green through mid-November; for more info, please see this link.)
