Apassionata: The Beginning is coming to North America

Oh my. This looks like a show geared for horse people. According to the Apassionata site:

APASSIONATA has been Europe’s most popular live arena show for nearly a decade, thrilling more than five million fans across 15 countries with a breathtaking display of the beauty and the bond between horse and rider.

Now APASSIONATA comes to North America to take audiences through a magical adventure featuring more than 40 horses, with exhilarating equine stunts by the world’s best performers. Breeds from Friesians to Bretons – some rarely seen in North America – and their riders were brought from Europe to create this evocative theatrical event. From trick riding to liberty dressage, these teams have honed their craft on a single breed for generations. With graceful horsemanship and enchanting music, this equestrian sensation captivates families and horse lovers alike.

Directed by Scott Faris (“Walking with Dinosaurs”) and featuring an award-winning Broadway creative team, APASSIONATA “THE BEGINNING” is sure to give audiences of all ages an unforgettable experience.

Apassionata is going to tour the U.S. starting in April 2012 (tour dates and locations). Tickets seem reasonable for a show like this. Prices start at about $25 (plus fees) and go up to as much as you want to pay.

I want to go — if the dates don’t conflict with horse camp.
