We are so honored and grateful to uphold this tradition,” notes Founder and Artistic Director Jeanne Maddox Peterson.
The production features sets designed by Ann Murray, costumes by Debra Barbic, a 50-piece orchestra with a 12-voice choir and the brilliant Tchaikovsky score conducted by Cory Pederson.
