Daniel Johnston: I am a Baby in My Universe II
Welcome to the world, of Daniel Johnston. This exhibition is the most comprehensive ever created of his work and is curated by his beloved sister who was his caretaker and art collaborator in later years, Marjory Johnston. Daniel Johnston, a singer-songwriter and visual artist whose childlike, haunted songs brought him acclaim as one of America’s most gifted outsider. Throughout his life, Johnston suffered from mental illness, yet in the spirit of hope, this helped his work become even more profound in his continuing artistic journey throughout his lifetime. In a career filled with stops and starts, Mr. Johnston became something of a man-child celebrity of the artistic underground, earning the admiration of rock stars like Kurt Cobain and Tom Waits as well as comparisons to William Blake. Johnston became known by fellowmusicians and the music press with songs, like “Speeding Motorcycle” and “Don’t Play Cards With Satan,” that had a poignant clarity yet showed glimpses of a fractured mind.

Macbeth
Verdi’s thrilling take on the immortal Shakespearean drama centers on the doomed Scottish king, haunted by the ghosts of his murderous ascent to the throne, and his power-mad wife, whose
ruinous ambition damns them both. Two of opera’s most extraordinary artists, baritone Quinn Kelsey (Tosca, Rigoletto) and Lise Davidsen (Tristan und Isolde, Fidelio, Tosca, Der Rosenkavalier, Ariadne auf Naxos) star as the scheming couple determined to seize power at any cost in a highly anticipated new production.
