Featuring the music of Aram Khachaturian (1903-1978), the show includes the tuneful Mazurka, Nocturne, Waltz, Romance, and Gallop from 1941 play Masquerade.
The Adagio from the 1956 ballet Spartacus is intensely lyrical, while the well-known Sabre Dance, Dance of the Rose Maidens, and Lezghinka from 1939’s ballet Gayaneh bring the show to a memorable conclusion filled with folk rhythms and pulsing energy.
Abbacadabra: The Magic of ABBA on
August 8 & September 19
This exciting new program marks a first for Longwood’s fireworks by using all pop vocals. The show starts with a salute to the disco era with Dancing Queen, Knowing Me, Knowing You, and Take a Chance on Me.
Then the show moves into the present with a high-energy rendition of The Visitors, a quieter Name of the Game, and a throbbing Waterloo for an unforgettable finale.
