Tonight, we open a book told and retold for two hundred years. Before the first witch steps out of the forest, we meet the two brothers who gathered these stories — sons of a Hessian lawyer in a Germany that didn't yet exist — and hear the voice that will carry them to you: limpid, clean, as clear as water.

Tonight, we begin The Neverending Story on a cold, rainy November morning.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit — and tonight, we settle into it. We find Bilbo Baggins on a fine morning, pipe smoke curling into the blue, when a wizard with a very tall hat appears at the gate with an invitation Bilbo most emphatically does not want.

Tonight, we step inside the Academy of Music on a winter evening in Old New York — gas-lit, gilded, and governed by rules as precise as a minuet.
