A full 40 piece orchestra and 45 fantastic singers, dancers and actors - KISMET in concert at Lyric Stage.
Lyric Stage, Dallas County’s professional musical theater company, presents KISMET in concert, January 26, 27 & 28 @ 8:00 PM and January 29 @ 2:30 PM in the Irving Arts Center’s Carpenter Performance Hall, 3333 N. MacArthur Blvd. Lyric Stage’s fully staged concert performance will feature the entire 40 piece Lyric Stage Orchestra under the baton of Music Director Jay Dias and a 45 person cast directed by Len Pfluger.
KISMET's lush score is adapted from the soaring melodies of Alexander Borodin. Quick ears will identify "Stranger in Paradise" as Borodin's "Polovtsian Dances" and hear strains of the D-Major String Quartet in "And This is My Beloved" and "Baubles, Bangles and Beads."
Neither Aladdin nor Ali Baba ever had a day like this! In the span of twenty-four hours, The Poet assumes the disguise of Hajj the beggar and manages to escape the clutches of a vengeful bandit, catch the eye of the Wazir's voluptuous wife, serve as Emir of Baghdad, and see his daughter wed to the handsome Caliph.
