American at Heart. Houston Ballet. Set to a rousing score by Leonard Bernstein, Fancy Free depicts the adventures of three sailors on shore leave who meet two girls on a hot summer night in New York City in the 1940s. An American classic, Fancy Free was later developed into the hit musical On The Town. A seminal piece in the history of twentieth century ballet, George Balanchine’s Apollo traces the birth of the god of music, poetry and prophecy -- and his education through (and flirtation with) the three muses Terpsichore, Calliope,and Polyhymnia. Christopher Bruce’s comic and moving Hush chronicles the adventures of a family of performers, and is set to a musical celebration of life – from youth to old age – by Yo-Yo Ma and Bobby McFerrin. 7:30pm. Brown Theater, Wortham Theater Center, 501 Texas Avenue at Smith Street. Tickets: $17 and up. 713.227.2787 or www.houstonballet.org
