MISHA’S HONOR
On Nov. 3, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music
in Fort Greene, Mikhail Baryshnikov receives the Jerome Robbins
Prize - and a hug - from Robbins Foundation President Floria
Lasky, as Executive Producer Joseph Melillo and BAM President
Karen Brooks Hopkins, who received a Jerome Robbins Prize on
behalf of the Fort Greene cultural icon, look on. Comment.
SOGGY OATS
Audience members are likely to be asking
themselves the titular question, "Who Is Wilford Brimley?"
not only at the start of this mock musical biography but also
at the end. Comment.
LATE REVIEWS
One of the saddest ironies in classical
music history is the fate of "Carmen" composer Georges
Bizet (1838-1875). Comment.
CASTS A ’SPELL’
During the late ’60s, a new form of entertainment
was born on Broadway. It was called the rock musical and it was
a blend of hippie culture, theatrical conventions and psychedelic
rock music. Comment.
WHISTLING DIXIE
The American South, with its murky swamps
and oppressive hierarchy, has always contradicted the American
ideal of wide-open space and the freedom to roam it. Comment.
TOASTING THE TURKEY
Family, friends, food and wine come together
to make Thanksgiving my favorite holiday. There are so many flavors
and textures of food that matching wines with them is really
easy. Yet there aren’t any steadfast rules. Comment.
BOTH SIDES NOW
Although he was one of the pioneers of
the Italian neo-realist movement of the 1940s, director Luchino
Visconti is far better known for his later films, which are voluptuous,
elegantly stylized epics as far from his humble cinematic beginnings
as possible. Comment.
