SUMMARY:The Met Opera: CARMEN
DESCRIPTION:Senior $22 \n\nNOTE this screening of Carmen is rescheduled from March 12 to June 11 at a discounted rate due to the technical issue experienced in March. We thank all our Met Opera patrons for their patience and understanding and would like to offer this screening at a discounted rate. \nSpend your Tuesday mornings enjoying award-winning performances from the Metropolitan Opera\, broadcast in HD from New York City. \nA vital new production of one of opera’s most enduringly powerful works! Acclaimed English director Carrie Cracknell makes her Met debut\, reinvigorating the classic story with a staging that moves the action to the modern day and finds at the heart of the drama issues that could not be more relevant today: gendered violence\, abusive labor structures\, and the desire to break through societal boundaries. Dazzling young mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina leads a powerhouse quartet of stars in the complex and volatile title role\, alongside tenor Piotr Beczała as Carmen’s troubled lover Don José\, soprano Angel Blue as the loyal Micaëla\, and bass-baritone Kyle Ketelsen as the swaggering Escamillo. Daniele Rustioni conducts Bizet’s heart-pounding score.

SUMMARY:Reel Alternatives: The Great Escaper
DESCRIPTION:The Cowichan Hospice Society presents \nSubscribe to all 5 shows for $70! Single tickets on sale February 1\, 2024. \n\nIn the summer of 2014 — the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings — octogenarian Bernie Jordan (Michael Caine) made global headlines. He’d staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy\, commemorating their fallen comrades. It was a story that captured the imagination of the world — Bernie seemed to embody the defiant\, “can-do” spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing. But of course\, it wasn’t the whole story. It was the story we all tell ourselves to make war and old age bearable. The bitter-sweet script explores the reality with wit and a very big heart. Bernie’s adventure\, spanning a mere 48 hours\, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Irene (Glenda Jackson) — the story celebrates their love without sentimentality and with an eye to the lessons we can all learn from the Greatest Generation. \nDrama | Comedy \n\n\n\nReel Alternatives is a monthly fundraiser bringing Toronto Film Festival’s critically acclaimed films to the Cowichan Valley. This year’s circuit will feature five acclaimed films. All proceeds go directly to benefiting individuals and families in Cowichan through Cowichan Hospice by ensuring hospice services are available when they need them. \nNote that the concession will be open with snacks and drinks\, along with coffee and tea\, available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Murray McLauchlan...Hourglass
DESCRIPTION:Shantero Productions presents \n\nGeneral sales begin on Friday\, December 8 at 10am PST. \nMurray McLauchlan is one of Canada’s most highly regarded singer/songwriters\, and with good cause. Over a 50-year career\, he has released 20 albums and been awarded 11 JUNOs. His songs “Farmer’s Song”\, “Down by the Henry Moore”\, “Whispering Rain” and “Sweeping the Spotlight Away” are now considered Canadian standards. Murray is also a painter\, an author\, an actor\, a radio host; he’s been bestowed an Honorary Doctor of Laws and appointed to The Order of Canada. That’s quite a ride. For many years Murray’s touring had been restricted to Lunch At Allen’s\, whose members also include Ian Thomas\, Marc Jordan and Cindy Church. But with the release of his critically acclaimed Hourglass\, he’s back on the road treating concert goers to a seamless blend of old and new. \nHere’s what he has to say: “As a songwriter I know that it’s not enough to sit in your kitchen and write. Your songs need to be heard. Music is a communicative art and if it isn’t brought in front of people there is no way to tell if that end has been met. I like to think of a concert tour as a kind of roving gallery to test your art and your ideas. I try to do my very best to make it worthwhile for folks to be there and to perhaps look at things in a new way when they leave.” \nAnd this\, in a nutshell\, is the Murray McLauchlan concert experience. \n“It might have been a large theatre but it felt like a group of friends sitting in a living room listening to tales from the son who hit the road to share his music… special\, memorable\, warm and\, quite simply\, Murray McLauchlan at his best.”   – Kamloops This Week
