Last night I attended a special one-night-only performance, featuring a collaboration of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet and Aspen Music Festival and School for an evening of dance and classical music at the Benedict Music Tent. Featuring the combined talents of dancers, musicians, choreographers and composers, this was truly an extraordinary presentation. The evening featured excerpts from Romeo and Juliet, with music by Prokofiev and Nicolo Fonte’s Where We Left Off, with music by Philip Glass. This is definitely one of the best events of Aspen’s summer season!
