Lucia di lammermoor at Regina Opera
by Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848)

November 22 and 29, 2008, at 7 p.m.
November 23 and 30, 2008, at 3 p.m.
 
Conducted by Brian Holman Directed by Linda Lehr

For decades Lucia was considered to be a mere showpiece for coloratura sopranos and was a little-known part of the operatic repertory. However, after World War II, a small number of technically-able sopranos, the most notable of whom were Maria Callas and Joan Sutherland, revived the opera in all of its original tragic glory. Sutherland's performances in the role at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden in 1959 and repeated in 1960 established Lucia as her calling card.

Since its revival, Lucia di Lammermoor has become a staple of the standard operatic repertoire, and appears as number thirteen on Opera America's list of the 20 most-performed operas in North America].

Aquila Threatre Company: Catch 22 at the Brooklyn Public Library

Saturday, November 22, 4:00PM Central Library, Dweck Center

Joseph Heller's classic novel, adapted for the stage by the author himself. Yossarian, a bombardier on a B-25, is based on a small island off the coast of Italy in 1944. He questions the futile and ridiculous administration of his air base.

Catch-22 is a modern American classic. The term itself has entered the language as a description of a ridiculously cyclical situation. The book by Joseph Heller was first published in 1961 and immediately caused a huge furor in the literary world. In 1971, Heller himself created a play based on his best-selling novel.
