DELAWARE
DELAWARE SYMPHONY PRESENTS: Delaware Symphony
Maestro David Amado welcomes back to the Grand
Opera House soprano Mary
Wilson. Her luminescent
voice and probing musicianship are featured in both
Handel’s virtuosic cantata,
Silete Venti, and in Mahler’s
intensely intimate Fourth
Symphony. Handel’s cleanly
etched vocal writing and lean
transparency stand as a benchmark of Baroque style, while
Mahler’s painterly attention
to texture and color gives his
work a rich sense of humanity.
Performances Jan. 19 and 20
begin at 8 p.m. For more information, call 800-374-7263 or

was produced and filmed in
New York using local cast
and crew. Jan. 16-Feb. 12

STILL DIVINE: Broadway's
Tony Award-winning phe-
nomenon Hairspray takes
you back to 1962 Baltimore,
as 16-year-old Tracy Turn-
blad sets out to dance her
way onto TV's most popular
show. Can a big girl with big
dreams—and even bigger
hair!—change the world and
still have time to win the boy
she loves? This mega-hit
is piled bouffant-high with
laughter and romance—and
enough deliriously tuneful
new songs to fill a nonstop
platter-party. It's the winner
of eight 2003 Tony Awards,
including best musical. As
The New York Times says, "If
life were everything it should
be, it would be more like
Hairspray. It's irresistible!"
