For Whom The Bell Tolls
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee. The impact of these words is powerful: sometimes, even if news is bad, it is better to know than wonder, and this realization brings both sadness and freedom. This show is a darker and more introspective journey than many of the productions we create, but it is hauntingly beautiful. Utilizing unique source music from Avenged Sevenfold alongside iconic Tchaikovsky content, the musical program is enough to create a gripping visual story to take your audience on a journey. We loved exploring the use of bells both sonically and visually as we brought this production to life and we can’t wait to see what you do with it!
