Hult Center promises a
great upcoming season
■ PERFORMING ARTS:
“Tommy” and The Reduced
Shakespeare Company
to visit Hult Center
By Jean Bond
Entertainment Editor
The Hult Center for the Perform
ing Arts is truly the centerpiece of
Eugene's art culture.
The center opened in 1982 and
has since hosted many nationally
and internationally known per
formers.
Recent performances at the Hult
have included The Cure, Tori
Amos, David Copperfield, Bobby
McFerrin and the musical, "Cats."
The Hult Center has something
to offer everyone, and the upcom
ing season is promising indeed.
October highlights at the Hult
include The Who's 1969 rock
opera, “Tommy,” the story of a
deaf, mute and blind young man,
and Ki-YiM'Bock Theater Sunjata,
a life-size shadow puppet theater
that features African music and
the legend of a young boy who
must prove his worth to become
king.
In November, the Hult will pre
sent the vaudevillian comedy of
The Reduced Shakespeare Com
pany's production of “The Bible:
The Complete Word of God
(Abridged).” Also in November,
the Gregorian Chant Choir of
Spain will bring 12th century
chants to the Hult.
Next year, the Hult will host the
Whirling Dervishes, the Flying
Karamozov Brothers, Latin Elvis
impersonator El Vez, a live perfor
mance of Scholastic’s “The Magic
School Bus” and the musical,
“Kiss of the Spiderwoman. ”
In addition to performers from
all over the world, the Hult Center
is home to the Eugene Ballet Com
pany, the Oregon Mozart Players,
the Dance Theatre of Oregon, the
Eugene Symphony Orchestra and
the Eugene Opera.
The Eugene Ballet Company
starts its season with a perfor
mance of the classic Tchaikovsky
ballet, “Swan Lake.” “Swan Lake”
is the story of Odette, a beautiful
young woman turned into a swan
by an evil magician and saved by
(who else?) a prince. During the
winter holiday season, the compa
ny performs Tchaikovsky's winter
fantasy, “The Nutcracker.” The
company will also perform “Cin
derella,” a full-length ballet set to
Prokofiev’s music and Gershwin’s
“Rhapsody In Blue.”
The Eugene Opera will present
three operas during its season:
Mozart’s “The Magic Flute,”
Donizetti’s “Lucia di Lammer
moor” and Gilbert and Sullivan’s
“The Mikado.”
“The Magic Flute” is a fairy tale
that will be sung in English, as will
“The Mikado,” a satirical operetta
about the make-believe land of
Titipu.
The Hult Center’s newest resi
dent company, The Dance Theatre
of Oregon, will be celebrating its
inaugural resident season with an
October performance of “A
Strange and Scary Night,” featur
ing Mason William’s “Triskelion,”
William Gordon’s “Necessary
Evil” and new works inspired by
Frank Zappa’s and Edgar Allan
Poe’s works.
