SUMMARY:Met Opera Live in HD: Wagner's Tristan und Isolde
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS$25 / $10 ages 21 and under.\nConnectorCare/WIC/EBT Card to Culture*  \nAfter years of anticipation\, a truly unmissable event arrives as the electrifying Lise Davidsen tackles one of the ultimate roles for dramatic soprano: the Irish princess Isolde in Wagner's transcendent meditation on love and death. Heroic tenor Michael Spyres stars opposite Davidsen as the love-drunk Tristan. The momentous occasion also marks the advent of a new\, Met-debut staging by Yuval Sharon—hailed by The New York Times as "the most visionary opera director of his generation" and the first American to direct an opera at the famed Wagner festival in Bayreuth—as well as Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin's first time leading Tristan und Isolde at the Met. Mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova reprises her signature portrayal of Brangäne\, alongside bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny\, who sings Kurwenal after celebrated Met appearances in Wagner's Der Fliegende Holländer and Ring cycle. Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green makes an important role debut as King Marke.   \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: Mostly Amadeus—Meet the Mozarts!
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n  \n$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event\n \nMahaiwe Member Sale: \nFriday\, September 5 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nWednesday\, September 10 at noon \nMahaiwe Members receive $5 off each ticket \nThe supernatural perfection of Mozart’s music was produced by a man many considered a “quill in divine hands.” Two sublime works—his Piano Trio in B-flat\, KV 502 and Quartet in G minor\, KV 478—may convince you of the same. To remind us of the humanity behind the legend\, the program sets Amadeus between his father Leopold—who wrote piano exercises for Amadeus and his sister Nannerl\, and shrewdly marketed his “child wonder”—and his son Franz Xaver\, who\, without the shadow of his father’s genius\, would have been remembered as a fine composer in his own right. A special attraction will be the world premiere of a newly discovered Mozart fragment\, found under unusual circumstances!  \nAnna Polonsky\, piano; Hye-Jin Kim\, violin; Ara Gregorian\, viola; Yehuda Hanani\, cello

SUMMARY:Met Opera Live in HD: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n  \n$25 / $10 ages 21 and under\nConnectorCare/WIC/EBT Card to Culture*   \nDue to popular demand\, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay\, recorded live earlier this season\, will be presented as a special screening. In this exhilarating new adaptation of Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel\, two Jewish cousins invent an anti-fascist superhero and launch their own comic-book series\, hoping to recruit America into the fight against Nazism. Incorporating scintillating electronic elements and a variety of musical styles\, composer Mason Bates’s eclectic score moves seamlessly among the three worlds of Gene Scheer’s libretto: Nazi-occupied Prague\, the bustling streets of New York City\, and the technicolor realm of comic-book fantasy. Bartlett Sher’s production provides spectacular visuals to match\, with towering sets and proscenium-filling projections designed by 59 Studio. Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met premiere-production\, with baritone Andrzej Filończyk as the artist Joe Kavalier\, who flees Czechoslovakia and arrives at the Brooklyn doorstep of writer Sam Clay\, sung by tenor Miles Mykkanen.  \nWarning: Adult content and language \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: Vivace Chamber Orchestra – Mozart\, Mendelssohn\, Britten\, Bruch
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event\n \n  \nThe Vivace players return! This New York-based chamber music collective shares the aim of performing the greatest works in the repertoire at the highest level. Their program is curated to showcase both unity of ensemble and rare musicianship. Looking back\, Mozart's Adagio and Fugue in C minor employs Bach's contrapuntal style but pushes into daring\, unexpected harmonies that sound as though they were composed a century later. Mendelssohn's miraculous Octet in E-flat major bursts with youthful verve and brilliance. At just 16\, he directed in the score that "This Octet must be played by all the instruments in symphonic orchestral style." Britten's Simple Symphony movements reveal his sense of fun and wit\, while Max Bruch's Kol Nidrei speaks in a universal voice—moving from supplication to promise and redemption.  \nVivace Chamber Orchestra\nYehuda Hanani\, cello

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: “The Golem” - A Vision in Sound and Cinema with the Avalon String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n  \n$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event\n \nMahaiwe Member Sale: \nFriday\, September 5 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nWednesday\, September 10 at noon \nMahaiwe Members receive $5 off each ticket \nMonsters and magic spells! A masterwork of German expressionist cinema meets a live\, klezmer-infused score in a vibrant feast for the eyes and ears. Paul Wegener’s pioneering 1920 silent horror film Der Golem was so popular on release that it sold out movie houses in both Germany and America for months\, inspired Golem-themed operettas\, and became a critical influence on the 1931 film Frankenstein. Drawn from a medieval Jewish legend\, Der Golem tells the tale of the Jews of 16th-century Prague\, who create a giant figure out of clay to protect themselves—only to see it turn on them with violence. To heighten the atmosphere\, Israeli-born composer Betty Olivero weaves together traditional Yiddish folk tunes and Jewish liturgical music into a haunting score for clarinet and strings. Colorful\, ominous\, and electrifying\, the experience of hearing live musicians accompany the action on the big screen promises to be unforgettable.  \nThe Avalon String Quartet: Blaise Magnière\, violin; Marie Wang\, violin; Anthony Devroye\, viola; Cheng-Hou Lee\, cello\nSaerom Kim\, clarinet; Jonathan Yates\, conductor  \nThe Avalon String Quartet “—an ensemble that invites you—ears\, mind\, and spirit—into its music.” — Chicago Tribune  \n

SUMMARY:Met Opera Live in HD: Bellini's La Sonnambula
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS$25 / $10 ages 21 and under.\nConnectorCare/WIC/EBT Card to Culture*  \nFollowing triumphant Live in HD performances in Gounod's Roméo et Juliette\, Verdi's La Traviata\, and Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor\, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina\, who sleepwalks her way into audiences' hearts in Bellini's poignant tale of love lost and found. In his new production\, Rolando Villazón—the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera's original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduaga co-stars as Amina's fiancé\, Elvino\, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival\, Lisa\, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera's most ravishing works. This operatic gem from one of the great masters of melody is a benchmark of extraordinary vocalism. The title role of the sleepwalking girl was composed for the greatest diva of the day\, Giuditta Pasta (for whom Bellini also wrote the tragic role of Norma). The part requires a rare combination of innocence\, charm\, and breathtaking vocal virtuosity. Deeper than a comedy\, but in no way a tragedy\, La Sonnambula reaches its conclusion through genuine\, poignant character development\, rather than by intrigue or farce.  \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.

Schubert’s Shepherd on the Rock (“My sweetheart dwells so far from me\, I long hotly to be with her over there”) is a tour de force meshing clarinet and soprano. Resolved to retire\, in 1891 Brahms encountered the clarinet playing of Richard Mühlfeld and was inspired by a fresh muse to compose once again. A scholar and close friend of Brahms praised the Clarinet Trio\, writing that “It is as though the instruments were in love with each other.” An all-star ensemble that shares the stage with artistic director Yehuda Hanani includes clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein (“…treats his instrument as his personal voice\, dazzling in its spectrum of colors\, agility\, and range”—Washington Post) returning to CEWM after several seasons. So concludes Season 33 of Close Encounters—bookended by the immortal Brahms\, by inspiration and friendship.    \nMax Levinson\, piano; Alexander Fiterstein\, clarinet; Danielle Talamantes\,soprano; Kerry Wilkerson\, baritone; Yehuda Hanani\, cello
