"There are things to admire about this production. First, the use of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra to play a mash-up of selections from Georges Bizet’s opera and Rodion Shchedrin’s riffs on it, oddly expanded with bits of music from Rossini and Mascagni; Christopher James Lees sets danceable tempos, and the live experience is a welcome novelty outside of “Nutcracker” season." 100% agree on this point. More ballet with live orchestra! It costs money. Let's find the money!
