Musical Theater

Symphony Silicon Valley is returning once more to the historical theatrical roots of its venue, the California Theatre in San Jose, with an all-Kurt Weill program on January 12-13.

The adventurous nine-member choral ensemble Cantus, along with Theatre Latté Da, will perform works from its recording All Is Calm, a selection of songs, poetry, letters, and journal excerpts relating to the extraordinary World War I “Christmas Truce.”

The Berkeley Repertory Theatre is adding another dimension to The Composer is Dead, with an original theatrical adaptation of this wildly popular marriage between Lemony Snicket’s story and Nathaniel Stookey’s musical score. The work comes to the stage Dec. 2.
