Wheel in the Middle of the Field

Set to some of the most ethereally beautiful vocal music ever created by Handel, Brahms, Fauré, Strauss, Schubert, John Sheppard, and Reynaldo Hahn, Wheel in the Middle of the Field is a collaboration between LINES Ballet and a talented group of young opera singers from the San Francisco Opera’s Adler Fellows program. An intimate resonance between song and movement unfolds as the breathtaking voices of the four singers—soprano, mezzo-soprano, counter-tenor, and baritone—rise in unison with the unique grace of the LINES Ballet dancers. In the words of the San Francisco Chronicle, Wheel transcends Alonzo King’s “mesmerizing technique to emerge among his most personal utterances.”
