On Saturday, February 2, visit the Stranahan Theater for a spectacular music and dance event unlike any other. Cirque de la Symphonie is the combination of two different worlds of performance art on one stage — a live, full symphony orchestra playing dynamic and emotional music alongside the unbelievable physical feats of a full cirque troupe. The Toledo Symphony Orchestra will be providing the soundtrack to this family-friendly event, performing classics by Strauss, Tchaikovsky and others. Joining them is the physical prowess and mastery of a cirque troupe, whose aerialists, jugglers, strongmen and acrobats will dazzle the audience with their incredible feats of strength and agility. The result is a show greater than the sum of its parts that is as stimulating visually as it is auditory.
$34-$78. 8-10pm. Stranahan Theater, 4645 Heatherdowns Blvd. 419-246-8000. www.stranahantheater.org. —GMK
