As the leader of the influential 1960’s group The Byrds, Roger
McGuinn was on the leading edge, combining the rock beat of The Beatles
with the folk sensibilities of Bob Dylan, to create the genre known as
“folk-rock.” The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer brings his granny glasses,
his jingle-jangling 12-string and his encyclopedic mastery of American
music back for another solo flight of songs and stories — mixing many of
rock’s timeless classics with a portfolio of traditional treasures from
the singer-guitarist’s formidable Folk Den Project, which Rolling Stone
called “damn near perfect”.

The Byrds’ musical revolution and contemporary technical information –

Met Opera: GIULIO CESARE
2013-04-27 12:00
Handel’s GIULIO CESARE
Encore: Sat. May 11, 2013 at 12:55 p.m.
Approx. Runtime: 4:31
The opera that conquered London in Handel’s time comes to the Met in David McVicar’s inventive production—which triumphed at its Glyndebourne premiere in 2005. The Guardian praised McVicar’s “witty, sexy, and tragic post-colonial framing of Handel’s Caesar and Cleopatra tale,” which incorporates elements of Baroque theater and 19th-century British imperialism to illuminate the opera’s ideas of love, war, and empire  building. The world’s leading countertenor, David Daniels, sings the title role opposite Natalie Dessay as an irresistibly exotic Cleopatra. Baroque specialist Harry Bicket conducts.
Production a gift of the Arthur F. and Alice E. Adams Charitable Foundation, in memory of  William B. Warren, former Co-Trustee and Governor of the Adams Foundation
Production owned by Glyndebourne Festival Opera

2013-06-19 19:00
Bizet’s Carmen
Summer Encore Series
Approx. Run Time: 3 hours
Broadcast in HD
Original transmission date: Saturday, January 16, 2010
Richard Eyre’s hit production stars Elīna Garanča as the seductive gypsy of the title, opposite Roberto Alagna as the obsessed Don José. Carmen “is about sex, violence, and racism—and its corollary: freedom,” the director says about Bizet’s drama. “It is one of the inalienably great works of art. It’s sexy, in every sense. And I think it should be shocking.”
Conductor: Yannick Nézet-Séguin; Production: Richard Eyre; Barbara Frittoli, Elīna Garanča, Roberto Alagna, Mariusz Kwiecien

Book by Rachel SheinkinConceived by Rebecca FeldmanAdditional Material by Jay ReissMusic and Lyrics by William Finn
Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser.
THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is a hilarious tale of overachievers’ angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show’s Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.
