For Brazilians, Antonio Carlos Jobim's catalogue is as iconic, influential and impactful as George Gershwin's contributions to the Great American Songbook, making the inclusion of a classic from the legend's repertoire a must for pianist Ricardo Bacelar's “Sebastiana,” the newly-released album heralding the works of Brazilian composers along with celebrating the Latin music diaspora. Bacelar selected “Somewhere In The Hills” and, in keeping with the multicultural nature of the project, invited Venezuelan torch singer Elena Rose to croon the wistful lyrics of moonlit romance. For the accompanying cross-cultural video that was just released (http://bit.ly/Sebastiana-Somewhere-in-the-hills), dancer Isabelle Dubois adds fire with her impassioned movement and balletic choreography.

The plot of AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE seems ripped from today's headlines: think Flint, think Detroit. Of course, Norwegian Henrik Ibsen (an iconoclast in his day, generally regarded as "The Father of Social Realism" in western theater history) penned this prescient piece back in 1882. What the Guthrie is producing is a new adaptation by Brad Birch, first staged in 2016 in Wales. It's undergone further revision for this production. Birch's adaptation is most welcome. The familiar story is lifted up to a whole new level by the striking visuals and swift, intriguing transitions devised by director Lyndsey Turner and her design team.
