Mohegan Sun Arena Schedule Of Events

To the delight of Parrotheads Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band return to Mohegan Sun Arena.

Jimmy's upcoming album, Buffet Hotel (one t), is scheduled for release in December. The title cut has a strong West African influence and was conceived during a trip to the "Festival In The Desert," a music festival that takes place annually near Timbuktu, Mali.  "It was one of the best musical experiences of my life," said Jimmy.  It was there that Jimmy ran across the Buffet Hotel, an old colonial era train station/hotel which was the venue for the music scene that exploded in Mali after its independence in 1960.

The Albano Ballet Company production of The Nutcracker is a holiday favorite at Mohegan Sun, thrilling audiences old, young and in-between. Accompanied by a live orchestra under the baton of Maestro Daniel Lee, Albano's traditional version touts an international cast with dancers from Italy, Japan, China, Korea, France, Canada, Holland and Croatia. Starring in this year's cast is Ritsuko Sato from Japan as the Sugar Plum Fairy and Marcello Algeri from Italy as the Cavalier Prince. Kerryanne Saunders, a 12 year veteran with the company, dances the Snow Queen partnered with Eric Carnes, a 20 year old sensational talent trained in the Albano Ballet Academy Syllabus. Choreography and costumes are by Joseph Albano, with the assistance of Julia Frederick.

There are many traditions throughout the holiday season, but none as magical as the Holiday Pops. This year, Keith Lockhart and the orchestra welcome the vocal virtuosity of the extraordinary Swingle Singers, a group whose name has become synonymous with flawless excellence and high-level entertainment since their ground breaking debut album Jazz Sebastian Bach in 1963. The current line up of young, gorgeous and talented singers is, of course, several incarnations from the original team - Ward Swingle affectionately refers to them as his "grandchildren" – however the sound remains unmistakably Swingle. The concert also features a special visit from Jolly Ole' St. Nick and a time-honored audience sing along.
