The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts released the details Monday of its 30th anniversary season. The Ordway's first full season in its expanded St. Paul building includes Broadway musicals, world music concerts and dance performances.

This year's lineup of musicals will include "The Pirates of Penzance," "The Sound of Music" and "A Chorus Line," followed by "A Night with Janis Joplin" and "Woody Allen's Bullets Over Broadway."

Meanwhile, the Ordway's world music and dance series includes Lula Washington Dance Theatre, Cambodian rock group Dengue Fever and Hanggai, a group that combines Asian folk/punk music with Mongolian throat singing.

The Ordway's new concert hall, which is home to the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, opens Saturday.
