SUMMARY:The Met Opera: Die Zauberflote (Encore)
DESCRIPTION:Senior $32 | Grades 8-12 Student $5 \n\nOne of opera’s most beloved works receives its first new Met staging in 19 years—a daring vision by renowned English director Simon McBurney that The Wall Street Journal declared “the best production I’ve ever witnessed of Mozart’s opera.” Nathalie Stutzmann conducts the Met Orchestra\, with the pit raised to make the musicians visible to the audience and allow interaction with the cast. In his Met-debut staging\, McBurney lets loose a volley of theatrical flourishes\, incorporating projections\, sound effects\, and acrobatics to match the spectacle and drama of Mozart’s fable. The brilliant cast includes soprano Erin Morley as Pamina\, tenor Lawrence Brownlee as Tamino\, baritone Thomas Oliemans in his Met debut as Papageno\, soprano Kathryn Lewek as the Queen of the Night\, and bass Stephen Milling as Sarastro. \nProduction a gift of the Berry Charitable Foundation \nOriginal co-production of Dutch National Opera\, Amsterdam; English National Opera\, London; and Festival d’Aix-en-Provence

SUMMARY:Reel Alternatives: Broker
DESCRIPTION:The Cowichan Hospice Society presents \nSingle tickets will be on sale Saturday\, January 28 at 10am. \n\nHirokazu Kore-eda (Shoplifters) directs this beautifully crafted and achingly touching crowd-pleaser about an unconventional family formed under the strangest of circumstances.

Without forcefulness or rhetoric\, Kore-eda looks directly at life and creates a small\, unconventional family universe. Broker is a film filled with moments of wonder and powerful emotion. \nDrama | Content advisory: mature themes\, violence\, coarse language \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.
