Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra presents Cirque De La Symphonie

Daring young men and women on flying trapezes will soar above the Meade Theatre stage on Sunday, May 10 at 3 p.m. when the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra teams with Cirque De La Symphonie for the final DP&L Family Series concert of the year at Schuster Center.

Cirque De La Symphonie is a European-based production formed to bring the magic of the circus to the music hall. Can’t be done, you say?

Well, this ambitious production pairs aerial flyers, acrobats, contortionists, dancers, jugglers, balancers and strongmen with the live DPO led by Neal Gittleman. Each performance is choreographed to classical masterpieces and popular contemporary music with dead-on precision.

“This isn’t usually done,” said David Bukvic DPO director of marketing and public relations. “I haven’t seen the live show but I guess there is all manner of rigging and staging that has to be done. They will be using the airspace over the orchestra and to some extent over the audience.”
