Sacramento Mandarins On the Road

–adjective

The Sacramento Mandarins present the purest and most unrestricted brand of entertainment for their 2009 production entitled, "ABSOLUTE.".

"Absolute Fanfare"—Dimitri Shostakovich's Festive Overture, proclaims the corps' regality and brilliance, while "Absolute Passion"—Astor Piazzolla's Libertango legitimizes the Mandarins as a sultry, sexy tour de force. "Absolute Joy" is delicately yet dramatically combined and portrayed through Beethoven's Ode to Joy. Closing with the playful and quirky Partita by Philip Sparke, the Mandarins reprise their 2001 performance and wrap up the show in a whirlwind of flair with "Absolute Velocity". Without a doubt, the Mandarins' 2009 production of "ABSOLUTE" will be undeniably and absolutely entertaining.
