In Italian, with English subtitles on a large screen. Three extraordinary sopranos—Aleksandra Kurzak, Eleonora Buratto, and Asmik Grigorian (in her highly anticipated Met debut)—tackle the demanding role of Cio-Cio-San, the loyal geisha at the heart of Puccini’s devastating tragedy. Tenors Matthew Polenzani and Jonathan Tetelman co-star as the callous American naval officer Pinkerton, whose betrayal destroys her. Mezzo-sopranos Elizabeth DeShong and Eve Gigliotti share the role of the steadfast maid Suzuki, and baritones Davide Luciano and Lucas Meachem are the American consul Sharpless. Acclaimed maestro Xian Zhang makes her Met debut
conducting Anthony Minghella’s vivid production.
JUNE 6:
“Paint Around” and Brown Bag Lunch/Social at Carol Summer’s Studio
Date: This event has been moved to June 6th (from Tuesday, May 20th)
Time: Noon – Brown Bag Lunch/Social, 1-3pm Paint Around
Location: Carol Summers Studio
FREE event
Pack your lunch and prepare for a fun and creative experience meeting other YAG Members. Each Artist should bring a canvas or mixed media paper (minimum size: 14 x 14), your choice of paints, chalk, charcoal, collage, etc. materials, and get ready for a different experience! If you need to work on a table or floor easel, please bring it. Tables and other work surfaces will be available. “Artist stations” will be set up in a circular environment. You will start painting (any subject/style you choose) and after 10-15 minutes you will be guided to pass your painting to the person on your right. You’ll add your creative style to that painting. (Make any changes or additions you want.) After the next 10-15 minutes, each Artist will again pass that painting to the next Artist until all Artists have received every painting. You will end up receiving your original painting and have an opportunity to add final touches or leave it as it is. You will bring home an interesting painting with great memories! (Someone will coordinate the “Artists stations” and timing.)
