Item Description

Two Front Row, Dress Circle Tickets (Date To Be Determined by the High Bidder and the Box Office) to the Boston Ballet's "The Third Symphony of Gustav Mahler: A Ballet by John Neumeier."

"The Third Symphony of Gustav Mahler: A Ballet by John Neumeier" will unveil the Boston Ballet 2015-2016 season, October 22 - November 1, showcasing "the work of a genius" (Clive Barnes, New York Post) John Neumeier, choreographer and Director of the Hamburg Ballet. Neumeier is a dance legacy and recipient of an array of prestigious awards, including the Dance Magazine Award (1983) and Nijinsky Award for Lifetime Achievement. One of Neumeier's most important and iconic works, Mahler's Third Symphony draws forth the drama of Gustav Mahler's music with the intent to evoke emotion in the audience. A stunning example of programmatic music, Mahler describes Symphony No. 3 as "unlike anything the world has ever heard.  All of nature speaks in it, telling deep secrets that one might guess only in a dream!" This performance will feature more than 70 musicians - including an orchestra, choir, and an Alto soloist. Boston is one of only four companies in the world to perform the monumental Third Symphony of Gustav Mahler.

The performance is at the Boston Opera House, with a date TBD.  These tickets were contributed to the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame auction by 2013 Hall of Fame Inductee David Mugar.
