This Saturday, October 17 at 1PM - Verdi's MACBETH is the next feature from the Met: Live in HD!

Two of opera’s most extraordinary artists return to The Met: Live in HD for Verdi’s thrilling take on the immortal Shakespearean tale of the scheming couple determined to seize power at any cost. Following past triumphs in many of Verdi’s signature baritone roles, Quinn Kelsey is the Scottish king haunted by the ghosts of his murderous ascent to the throne, opposite Lise Davidsen – the world’s reigning dramatic soprano – as the power-mad Lady Macbeth, whose ruinous ambition damns them both.

The Met: Live in HD is the Metropolitan Opera’s Peabody and Emmy Award–winning series of opera performances transmitted live from the stage of the Met in New York into movie theaters and event spaces worldwide.

Tickets to the Met: Live in HD are $20 Adults, $18 Members, and $10 Students. Call 716.679.1891 or visit fredopera.org for more info. This production runs approximately three hours, 30 minutes, with one intermission. Part of Arts in the Afternoon, which is sponsored by Dr. James M. & Marcia Merrins, Live at the Met is underwritten with support from Daniel S. Kaufman and Timothy W. Beaver.

135 YEARS, 135 FACTS... In 1920, the Opera House had a series of Victrola Concerts. These were, quite simply, a Victrola rolled out on stage and several records played for the audience, usually between the silent features on screen. Radios weren't in nearly every home at this point, and hearing the singers and bands featured in these concerts was as close to 'in-person' as many in the audience were going to get.

The Spencer Brothers Victrola Store would provide the record player and the records, usually tying it in to what was being shown at the Opera House. The Opera House ads below both show silent films starring Geraldine Farrar, a popular actress and opera singer of the time, and the Spencers would bring one of her records to play so the audience would get to see her AND hear her!

TONIGHT, October 13 at 7:30PM - KNIFE: THE ATTEMPTED MURDER OF SALMAN RUSHDIE - “Three things stand out: the love between Rushdie and Griffiths; their resilience in the face of his catastrophic injuries; and the author’s humanistic attitude and sly sense of humor, which have categorically survived intact.” - Screen Daily.

Reminder - Tuesday night movies are shown with captions on-screen.
