SUMMARY:Hamlet
DESCRIPTION:Prior to purchasing tickets please review our COVID-19 Safety Measures and Policies.\nPurchasing tickets in advance is STRONGLY encouraged. Due to distanced seating in the theatre\, capacity is limited and walk-ups might not be able to be accommodated. \nWhen Australian composer Brett Dean’s Hamlet had its world premiere at the Glyndebourne Festival in 2017\, The Guardian declared\, “New opera doesn’t often get to sound this good … Shakespeare offers a gauntlet to composers that shouldn’t always be picked up\, but Dean’s Hamlet rises to the challenge.” On June 4\, this riveting contemporary masterpiece appears live in cinemas\, with Neil Armfield\, who directed the work’s premiere\, bringing his acclaimed staging to the Met. Many of the original cast members have followed\, including tenor Allan Clayton in the title role. Nicholas Carter makes his Met debut conducting a remarkable ensemble\, which also features soprano Brenda Rae as Ophelia\, mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly as Gertrude\, baritone Rod Gilfry as Claudius\, and bass-baritone John Relyea the ghost of Hamlet’s father.

SUMMARY:TAJ MAHAL - Livestream
DESCRIPTION:Composer\, multi-instrumentalist\, vocalist\, multi-GRAMMY® winner\, multi-Blues Music Award winner\, Blues Hall of Fame member and Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement award recipient TAJ MAHAL streaming LIVE to the comforts of your own home from the UC Theatre stage in Berkeley\, CA.  This will be Taj’s first ever livestream performance! \nTaj is a towering musical figure — a legend who transcended the blues not by leaving them behind\, but by revealing their magnificent scope to the world. Quantifying the 77- year-old’s significance is impossible\, but people try anyway. A 2017 Grammy win for TajMo\, Taj’s collaboration with Keb’ Mo’\, brought his Grammy tally to three wins and 14 nominations\, and underscored his undiminished relevance more than 50 years after his solo debut. Blues Hall of Fame membership\, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association\, and other honors punctuate his résumé. Taj appreciates the accolades\, but his motivation lies elsewhere. “I just want to be able to make the music that I’m hearing come to me — and that’s what I did\,” Taj says. “When I say\, ‘I did\,’ I’m not coming from the ego. The music comes from somewhere. You’re just the conduit it comes through. You’re there to receive the gift.”
