BalletX joins Opera Philadelphia, The Bearded Ladies Cabaret, and FringeArts for Meet Me at the Eagle<\/em>, an unforgettable kickoff concert at the historic Wanamaker building. The event takes its name from sculptor August Gaul\u2019s iconic 2,500-pound bronze eagle\u2014once the beloved meeting spot inside John Wanamaker’s iconic department store.<\/p>\n

On this special afternoon, artists from the Opera Philadelphia’s orchestra, chorus, and special guest singers will perform alongside dynamic collaborations with BalletX and fellow Philadelphia arts innovators. It\u2019s a celebration of the city\u2019s vibrant performing arts scene, set against one of Philadelphia\u2019s most legendary landmarks.<\/p>\n
