Jules Verne: From the Earth to the Moon
Single Tickets
Ensemble for the Romantic Century
A multimedia theatrical concert with drama, film, and chamber music.
Their paths crossed in 1889 to the delight of the whole world…
Travel across space and time—to the moon and back—with the legendary Jules Verne and the daring Nellie Bly.
Nellie Bly, the enterprising 25-year-old American journalist, became an international celebrity when she embarked on a voyage around the world to beat the record of Phileas Fogg, the fictional hero of Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days. They said a woman couldn’t do it, but Bly proved them wrong—even taking precious time out for a surprise detour in France to meet the aging Verne. The meeting of these two unlikely kindred spirits, both unafraid to explore the unknown, inspires Ensemble for the Romantic Century’s sumptuous multimedia theatrical concert that interweaves drama, video, and the music of Chausson, Stephen Foster, Gottschalk, and Chaminade.
