SUMMARY:Met Opera Live in HD: Verdi’s Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n$25 / $10 ages 21 and under (plus processing fees) \nConnectorCare/WIC/EBT Card to Culture*  \nThis screening is an encore per Mahaiwe scheduling.  \nTwo of opera’s most extraordinary artists return to The Met: Live in HD for Verdi’s thrilling take on the immortal Shakespearean tale of the scheming couple determined to seize power at any cost. Following past triumphs in many of Verdi’s signature baritone roles\, Quinn Kelsey is the Scottish king haunted by the ghosts of his murderous ascent to the throne\, opposite Lise Davidsen—the world’s reigning dramatic soprano—as the power-mad Lady Macbeth\, whose ruinous ambition damns them both. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium for a penetrating production by Louisa Proske\, a brilliant young director making waves around the world. Rounding out the all-star cast are tenor Freddie De Tommaso as the heroic Macduff and bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green as Macbeth’s friend-turned-victim Banquo.  \n*We accept ConnectorCare/WIC/EBT cards! Four free tickets to movies or HD broadcasts per individual. Thank you to the donors who make this possible.

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: Saluting the Clarinet – Mozart\, Beethoven\, Bartok and Gershwin

In the orchestra\, it steps forward in "Peter and the Wolf" and "Rhapsody in Blue"; in opera it's a near-protagonist in "The Magic Flute\," "La Traviata" and "The Barber of Seville" as composers delineate atmosphere and character motifs. It can sing and it can swing. We are referring of course to the clarinet\, which stars in a program that features Bartók's "Contrasts\," written for clarinet legend Benny Goodman and violinist Joseph Szigeti (with Bartók himself playing the piano at the world premiere!); Beethoven's Trio in B-flat major\, opus 11; Mozart's Clarinet Quintet\, and some down-home Gershwin. The program abounds in Hungarian country fiddling and dance melodies\, rich folk fare and jazz\, as well as clarinet and violin pyrotechnics. The remarkable clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein will leave us all breathless! He is joined by pianist Michael Chertock\, violinist Xiao-Dong Wang and cellist and artistic director Yehuda Hanani. \nAlexander Fiterstein\, clarinet; Michael Chertock\, piano; Xiao-Dong Wang\, Helena Baillie\, violins; Daniel Panner\, viola; Yehuda Hanani\, cello

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: Come to the Cabaret! Paris and Weimar Berlin
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, August 26 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, August 28 at noon  \nMembers receive $5 off each ticket    \nWith this extraordinary program\, the internationally celebrated performer Yael Rasooly\, known for her magnetic stage presence\, powerful vocals\, and virtuoso puppetry\, makes her CEWM debut\, masterfully weaving together the bold\, satirical songs of the Weimar era and Edith Piaf’s Paris. In moving tributes to legendary artists Piaf and Marlene Dietrich\, singer-actress-director Rasooly and pianist Daniel Rein evoke the richly decadent world of 1920s-30s Berlin and Paris through their distinctive\, theatrical approach to a varied repertoire of Berlin cabaret songs (think Kurt Weill!) and poetic French chansons. The program intertwines music and visual storytelling as Rasooly channels these legendary women of song through mime\, elaborate costumes\, and specially created life-size puppets\, transporting us to a bygone era while illuminating timeless themes. Her storytelling combines a unique perspective of song\, humor and puppetry that audiences will not soon forget.  \nYael Rasooly\, singer\, actress\, director; Rafael Castillo-Halvorssen\, horn; Daniel Rein\, piano

SUMMARY:Met Opera Live in HD: Kevin Puts’s Silent Night
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS–\n$25 / $10 ages 21 and under (plus processing fees) \nConnectorCare/WIC/EBT Card to Culture*  \nThis screening is an encore per Mahaiwe scheduling.  \nFollowing his smash-hit company debut with The Hours\, composer Kevin Puts returns to the Met with his Pulitzer Prize–winning first opera\, inspired by the true events of the 1914 Christmas truce\, when soldiers spontaneously set aside the horrors of the First World War and crossed the trenches to mingle\, exchange gifts\, and sing carols with the enemy. A poignant depiction of shared humanity in the most inhumane circumstances\, Puts’s grand\, cinematic opera—with a libretto by Mark Campbell based on the film Joyeux Noël—has been widely acclaimed since its 2011 premiere\, hailed as “an overwhelming emotive experience” by The Guardian. Silent Night receives an evocative staging by James Robinson that takes the audience directly to the battlefields of the Western Front. The star-studded cast\, featuring soprano Elza van den Heever and tenors Ben Bliss and Rolando Villazón\, among many others\, is conducted by debuting maestro Dalia Stasevska.  \n*We accept ConnectorCare/WIC/EBT cards! Four free tickets to movies or HD broadcasts per individual. Thank you to the donors who make this possible.

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: Dvorak – In the New World and Old World
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, August 26 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, August 28 at noon  \nMembers receive $5 off each ticket    \nFrom humble beginnings to stardom\, Antonín Dvořák straddled two centuries\, two continents\, rural and urban sensibilities and folk styles inspired by Czech and Slavic traditional music as well as by an American sojourn. At home in different worlds\, his sublime String Quartet No. 12 “the American” was composed in Spillville\, Iowa during a blissful vacation\, and legitimized utilizing folklore\, spirituals\, and vernacular art as material for the next generation of American classical composers. The Piano Quintet\, a masterwork of Romantic-era chamber music\, stands as one of the twin peaks of the repertoire written for piano and string quartet (Brahms’s Quintet being the other!). Brahmsian depth\, Eastern European folk flavor and sheer melodic beauty characterize this joyful work. Also\, a taste of Dvořák’s vocal output with selections from his Biblical Songs\, the Gypsy Songs cycle and others reflecting his abiding affection for Czech and Bohemian culture.  \nAnna Polonsky\, piano; Miranda Cuckson\, Xiao-Dong Wang\, violins; Helena Baillie\, viola; Yehuda Hanani\, cello; Enes Petkas\, baritone

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: World Premiere – The Metamorphosis\, Love
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, August 26 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, August 28 at noon  \nMembers receive $5 off each ticket    \nLoss\, remembrance\, joyous recollection\, metamorphosis and love. These are universal themes and a progression of states of emotion that animate the music and texture of the program. A work of shattering intensity\, Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio was written in response to the composer’s grief at losing his beloved teacher\, Nikolai Rubinstein\, and at the same time recollecting the happy moments spent in his company. It is elegiac and cathartic\, as is the newest CEWM commission from Martín-Buján\, The Metamorphosis: Love\, that gives the program its name. The Poet/protagonist role is sung by a tenor in dialogue with his Muse\, sung by soprano\, which in the end becomes Music itself. The accompanying ensemble is cello\, piano\, marimba and vibraphone. A companion piece (narrator\, cello and percussion) is a 2015 CEWM commission from Kenji Bunch\, written to a Shakespeare sonnet of desire and longing. Plus art songs from Schubert\, Brahms\, Fauré\, Poulenc and Finzi. It’s all about transcendence and love.   \nMax Levinson\, piano; Hye-Jin Kim\, violin; Omar Najmi\, tenor; Dana Varga\, soprano; Samuel Solomon\, Nancy Zeltsman\, percussion; Yehuda Hanani\, cello
