This timeless story tells the tale of Ariel, a curious young mermaid princess who dreams of life beyond the sea. Fascinated by the human world above (and especially by the dashing Prince Eric) Ariel longs to explore a future different from the one her father, King Triton, has chosen for her. The musical traces its roots to Hans Christian Andersen’s 1837 fairy tale, a story that has captivated generations with its themes of longing, transformation, and hope. While Disney’s adaptation brings a brighter tone, humor, and a joyous musical spirit, it preserves the heart of the original tale: the courage it takes to grow up, take risks, and discover where we truly belong.

Film music on the concert organ, how does that work together? Anna Lapwood herself says: "In recent years, I have increasingly stopped defining music by genres, and started thinking about what music brings joy to me and my listeners. The boundaries between genres are so flexible anyway, and it's really fun to experiment with blurring these boundaries even more." You can feel this joy in this concert as well, when she plays her transcriptions from the films "The Da Vinci Code," "Interstellar," and "Pirates of the Caribbean" (Hans Zimmer) and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (Alan Menken). In addition, classics such as the famous Prelude by Johann Sebastian Bach, which was turned into "Ave Maria" by Charles Gounod, and Benjamin Britten's "Four Sea Interludes" from the opera "Peter Grimes" can be heard, as well as new works written for Anna Lapwood.

Be our Guest this holiday season! The enchantment never ends in this stunning take on the classic fairytale. Adapted from the Academy Award-winning animated movie, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast tells the story of an unkind prince who has been magically transformed into an unsightly creature as punishment for his selfish ways. To revert into his true human form, the Beast must learn to love and be loved by Belle — a bookish and adventure-craving young lady who he has imprisoned in his enchanted castle. This ”tale as old as time” is filled with spectacular costumes, lavish scenic design, and the TCR reimagining audiences have come to expect.

In the grand tradition of The Little Mermaid, The Wizard of Oz and A Christmas Carol, ABT brings this revered fairy tale to life on stage. This “tale as old as time,” reminds us to look beyond one’s exterior and find the beauty from within. Belle finds herself in the middle of a daring and magical adventure, attempting to rescue her beloved father from a terrible beast and offering herself in exchange for his freedom. She soon discovers that she is not the only prisoner held in the beast’s extraordinary castle. All of the fanciful characters, such as a talking tightly wound clock (the butler), adorable teacup (a young boy), kindhearted candelabra (maître d’), are trapped in this spellbound form until the beast, who is actually a young prince, can learn to love and have his love returned.
