1 DAYTON PERFORMING ARTS ALLIANCE S E A S O N

2 Paul Helfrich, President & CEO Welcome to the Signature Season We are delighted to announce a landmark moment in the history of performing arts. The Signature Season heralds the first time a ballet company, an opera company and a philharmonic orchestra have joined forces under one roof to collaborate on all aspects of an arts season. The result reveals the power of creativity and is sure to please lovers of dance, opera and all types of music. You hold in your hands the results of the intense labors of our trio of Artistic Directors: eight Series, three Special Events and three Signature Events. The Signature Events are groundbreaking performances that include all three art forms interwoven throughout the program. Look for those as part of your subscription or add them on. Series packages are available now and single tickets go on sale in the summer of 2013, but don t wait. Subscribe now for a front-row seat to this amazing season.
