The Wichita Grand Opera is proud to open its “Season on a Grand Scale” with the high energy dance and on stage antics of the Ukrainian National Dance Company on October 10, 2009. This 80 member troupe of dancers and musicians, acclaimed as “Astonishing!” by the New York Times, are famous for their brightly colored costumes and dynamic athletic precision.
Each and every performance is a romantic, elevated, passionate and exciting show. The ensemble’s diverse concert programs presents the exquisite charm of Ukrainian folk dancing and the wealth of its traditions spanning from the Cossacks to the fertile plains, the Black Sea and the Carpathian Mountain regions. This precision and charm has been warmly received by audiences all over the world.
