From the silken sheen of its sound, the agility and precision of its ensemble and its responsiveness to Rachlevsky’s direction, you’d think this orchestra had been playing together forever.

Ken Ruta
Oscar Wilde: Diversions and Delights
Wednesday, January 20

Ruta delivers Wilde’s best material with an impish sense of self-delight.

—San Francisco Chronicle

In a Paris theater in 1899, the celebrated playwright and wit Oscar Wilde reflects on the bittersweet story of his life, his career, his triumphs, betrayal and shame. One of the Bay Area’s finest theater veterans lauded for near-perfect comic timing, Ruta creates a beautiful, complex portrait of the writer.

General public: $16/$19/$22
Students: $12/$14/$18
