MET OPERA: Elektra (Encore)
2016-05-15 13:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Pollak Theatre
The genius director Patrice Chéreau (From the House of the Dead) didn’t live to see his great Elektra production, previously presented in Aix and Milan, make it to the stage of the Met. But his overpowering vision lives on with soprano Nina Stemme—unmatched today in the heroic female roles of Strauss and Wagner—who portrays Elektra’s primal quest for vengeance. Legendary mezzo-soprano Waltraud Meier is chilling as Elektra’s fearsome mother, Klytämnestra. Soprano Adrianne Pieczonka and bass Eric Owens are Elektra’s troubled siblings. Chéreau’s musical collaborator, Esa-Pekka Salonen, conducts.

On Meatball Day, George helped his friend Chef Pisghetti cook some delicious meatballs, and serve them to the hungry crowd. But this year, the crowd had vanished! Something was keeping people away. Something pretty big. And that “something” was Phinneas T. Lightspeed and his speedy Meatballs O’Matic machine. In despair, Chef Pisghetti vows to cook no more. Determined to help his friend, George goes on a mission to enter the Chef’s meatballs in the world-famous Golden Meatball Contest…in Rome. With every swing and flip, George takes the audience through a fun-filled adventure in which he learns more about Rome…and meatballs…and the “secret ingredient” to cooking!

Janice has so kindly offered to provide a seminar to teach us all how to help, work with, and ultimately understand how fearful dogs think! Shelters and rescue groups will always have frightened, scared dogs – that’s a given. The recent Howell dog hording case of close to 300 dogs, and a more recent case in Jackson where 17 large dogs were living in horrible conditions, made us realize dogs from circumstances such as these need professional help. We reached out to Janice so we could all learn how to help them together. Your donations of food and supplies came in car loads and we are so very grateful for the generosity the public has shown us, but the real work is still ahead of us! Some of these animals have never been touched by a human being. One can only imagine how frightening this is for them to be in this situation!
Adopters, dog owners, shelter workers, rescue groups, dog trainers, veterinarians, technicians — anyone in this field of work would benefit to attend this seminar. Seating is limited so please reserve your spot for this exciting, educational experience.
Who: Shelter workers, volunteers, rescue groups, veterinarians and technicians, previous and potential adopters, all dog owners or if you just love dogs, come join us!
