Presto, Mambo!
NAC Orchestra - Southam Hall
Program Info: Audiences rise to their feet, dancing to the rhythms of Latin America in Platypus Theatre’s most interactive show to date. Presto, Mambo! gives young audiences the unique opportunity to experience the NAC Orchestra thrumming to the irresistible beat of the Latin sound.
A performance about the music of the Americas takes an unexpected turn when Max – an energetic but impulsive young boy – makes his way onto the stage to “help” the orchestra. Soon Max is on a whirlwind adventure that takes him from the concert hall to the vibrant lands of Latin American culture where – with the help of his new friend, Mambo the dog, the NAC Orchestra and the audience – Max learns the magic of Latin rhythms and how to “dance” with the music.
Co-commissioned by the National Arts Centre Orchestra, the Vancouver Symphony, the Edmonton Symphony and the Toronto Symphony.
We hope you will enjoy the giant images on the NACOtron screen as they capture and magnify the magic of these fabulous concerts!
