What did our critic think of RINALDO at Minnesota Opera?

Opera North today announces its 2021/22 season with five new productions opening at the Leeds Grand Theatre before touring to theatres and concert halls across the North of England.

The Humane Society of the United States hosted its 2020 To the Rescue! gala earlier this evening, raising over 2 million dollars to benefit the organization's animal rescue efforts. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was held virtually.

The Humane Society of the United States' annual To the Rescue! gala will take place on Nov. 14, 2020. 'Saturday Night Live' Emmy nominated cast member Cecily Strong will host the virtual event, which will feature a special performance by Tony, Grammy and Emmy award-winner, singer and actor Audra McDonald, who will also host the pre-show.

Founded by Winston C. Simone, a 2020 grad of Connecticut College and his sister Isabelle, a costume designer for Film, TV and Broadway, BigNightIn started as a platform to provide WFH opportunities for local performers who were hit hard during the lock down.

A group of performers from the world of theatre, folk and opera are joining together to create a special online gig for the charity Diabetes UK. Little Rumours will see the singers perform one track each of the classic Fleetwood Mac album Rumours, so that by the end of the event, they've recreated their own version of the entire album.

The HIDDEN CABARET is no longer a SECRET. Since starting its Monday night residency at the Secret Room on Eighth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen in November, the Hidden Cabaret has staged two sold-out Variety shows, as well as a recently critically acclaimed solo show featuring American Idol finalist Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon.

Evolving artists with differing amounts of stage experience formed a variably green, prepared and overworked ensemble in this summer showcase of the Royal Opera's young roster singers.

God it's good to have the Linbury back. The reopening of the Royal Opera House's second, smaller space last December after a lengthy redesign brought with it all kinds of possibilities. Repertoire excised from schedules or exiled (with mixed success) to partner venues could finally return, with whole swathes of contemporary and period repertoire suddenly back in the house. Since then we've seen a thoughtful world premiere (Gavin Higgins' The Monstrous Child), a quite brilliant bit of Handel (Berenice) and now a new staging of Henze's late chamber opera Phaedra.

Berenice is something of a forgotten delight, its tortuous plotting more than offset by its splendid arias and delightful characters, with plenty of contemporary resonance on hand if you need it.

Handel's Berenice returns to Covent Garden in a new co-production by The Royal Opera and London Handel Festival, nearly 282 years after its 1737 premiere at the Covent Garden Theatre, a forerunner to the Royal Opera House. Staged in the Royal Opera House's Linbury Theatre, the West's End's newest and most intimate theatre, the new production is directed by Adele Thomas and sung in a new English translation by Selma Dimitrijevic.

Wonders never cease. Especially at Public Arts, the Lower East Side's chic performance space nestled within Ian Schrager's Public Hotel. Since opening last summer, the venue has attracted an eclectic base of night-life aficionados by featuring a magically diverse slate of performers. Recent guests have been treated to the likes of Riz MC, Patti Smith, Lena Hall and A$AP Rocky.

The Royal Opera House today opens the doors to its transformed new home, following an extensive three-year construction project.

In the 1980's Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, Jack Nicholson, Robert DeNiro and many other well known actors would use the Theater for their own weekly private performances. And more recently, the Triad has welcomed stars like Martin Short, Kristen Wiig, Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart. Lady Gaga even made her professional debut there as part of the Circle in the Square Cabaret Program.

Brooklyn based musicians, Bobby Blue the Balladeer and Anna J. Witiuk are joining forces this Saturday for a night of old country, folk hollers and Mexican romance at 'the champagne of dive bars,' Parkside Lounge.

The late Arnold Wesker is highly regarded as a distinguished voice of the British Theater. Following his death in January 2016, Vicky Featherstone, artistic director at the Royal Court Theater, said that his working-class characters and his outsider status changed who theater was for, and enabled a new generation of audience, actors and playwrights to feel they had a right to belong. Yet much of his work, while celebrated by scholars and historians the world over, is hardly ever produced for an American audience. But Director Charles Maryan is about to change that with GROUPIE.

The second installment of New York City's first and only all-mentalism variety show, Completely Mental, played at The Slipper Room on December 28th, 2016 and was a smashing success. Scroll down for photos!
