A journey of transformation and triumph, Monarch follows the life of a caterpillar as she grows, changes, and finally takes flight. The show opens with James Newton Howard’s “Flying,” capturing the playful wonder of a world alive with color and curiosity. The mood deepens with The Cinematic Orchestra’s “Transformation,” a lush, introspective ballad that mirrors metamorphosis — delicate, mysterious, and powerful. The finale, Christopher Tin’s “Sogno di Volare,” bursts forth in grandeur and celebration, as our Monarch emerges in full splendor — regal, radiant, and free. Graceful and inspiring, Monarch is a musical and visual ode to growth, beauty, and becoming.
