Choreographer Christopher Fleming (former NYC Ballet Soloist) brings to life French writer Gaston Leroux’s classic novel Phantom of the Opera in a lusciously expressed, one-act balletic interpretation, simply called The Phantom. Audiences embrace the character of the Phantom for his tortured disfigurement and masked love overtures to the beautiful and alluring Christina. Brandywine Ballet's 2011 fall-series also includes a very special performance of Nancy Page’s new work Requiem, featuring the Brandywine Singers and live orchestral ensemble. Debuted as a work in progress this past spring, Requiem is a one-act ballet, which reaches soul searching, ethereal heights, and features Mozart’s beloved Requiem Mass.
