    02/15/14	Tennessee Jack and the Kudzu Vine TPAC - James K. Polk Theater Tennessee Jack and the Kudzu Vine Presented by Nashville Ballet at TPAC - James K. Polk Theater February 15, 2014 This local twist to the English folktale Jack and the Beanstalk offers children and families a fun, interactive performance with a real giant on stage! Following the original story, Tennessee Jack is swindled into selling his cow for a handful of magic beans. But in this Southern version, the beans grow a stalk of kudzu straight into the sky, leading to a land of giants portrayed by enormous puppets and taking Jack on an adventure he will not soon forget.
    04/11/14- 04/15/14	Othello TPAC - James K. Polk Theater Othello Presented by Nashville Opera Association at TPAC - James K. Polk Theater April 11-April 15, 2014 “A kiss. A kiss. Another kiss...” sings Otello as his wife takes her last breath, dead by his own jealous hand. Shakespeare’s famous play about a great leader destroyed by his own uncontrollable jealousy and desire is matched by one of Verdi’s greatest musical scores to create an unforgettable evening of opera. Composed near the end of his dynamic career, Verdi’s Otello is the prime example of a masterful composer writing at the peak of his musical and...
