Discussion | Discover the Writing of Agatha Christie with Authors of Agatha Christie Under the Magnifying Glass


Attend a special lunch event celebrating the release of Agatha Christie Under the Magnifying Glass: Close Readings of 12 Novels. In this illuminating presentation, authors and beloved instructors Margaret Boe Birns and Nicholas Birns share their latest collaborative research, which invites readers to look beyond the "whodunit." Drawing on decades of scholarship, the Birnses challenge the notion of Christie solely as a master of mystery. Instead, they reveal her as a profound thinker and literary modernist whose narratives reflect the deep social, cultural, and historical upheavals of 20th-century Britain. A light lunch will be served.

His films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six wins, although he never won the award for Best Director despite five nominations.

Opening Reception | Multi-Artist Exhibition on Love, Partnership, & Femininity: How to Be a Good Lover


How to Be a Good Lover is an exhibition that operates within the pedagogical architecture of femininity through which the conditions of gendered desire are first encountered, rehearsed, and internalized. It traces the aftermath created by the formative systems of media, play, domestic space, and fantasy, which instructs girls on how to be legible, pleasing, and ultimately chosen. How to Be a Good Lover resists framing love, partnership, or femininity as natural or developmental milestones, positioning girlhood instead as a prolonged apprenticeship in anticipation, self-regulation, emotional labor, and the cultivation of desirability. Within this system, desire is externalized and is learned as something to be produced for others rather than articulated from within. As a result, to be “a good lover” becomes shorthand for a perfected performance of femininity, one that is nurturing, compliant, emotionally attuned, and endlessly accommodating.

Commemorate the 1848-49 Hungarian Revolution and Freedom Fight with a captivating theater performance! A commemorative literary performance by the Nemzeti Színház (National Theatre of Budapest).

Authors Terence Ward and Idanna Pucci discuss their book, Emilio Pucci: The Astonishing Odyssey of a Fashion Icon, with Ruth Ben-Ghiat, NYU. When people think of fashion designer Emilio Pucci, it is of his bright, swirling colors and easy, freeing fabrics, and everyone from Sophia Loren to Jackie Kennedy donning the eye-catching dresses that personify La Dolce Vita. What few know about Pucci, however, is that before creating his world-famous fashions, he played a critical role in the war against the Nazis, risking his life to smuggle out to the Allies one of the most important documents of World War II.

Opera | The Silent Serenade (Die Stumme Serenade): Erich Korngold's Romantic Farce


Mannes Opera presents the U.S. Premiere of The Silent Serenade (Die Stumme Serenade), by composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold and librettist Victor Clement. Written in the late 1940s after Korngold's celebrated Hollywood tenure, and based on a short story by Austrian writer Raoul Auernheimer, The Silent Serenade is a romantic farce brimming with mistaken identities, amorous intrigue, and glittering melodies. The operetta-revue hybrid was intended for Broadway, at a time when works like Regina, The Consul, and Trouble in Tahiti found success on theatrical stages. But after a troubled production history--including an aborted Shubert Brothers run--the piece slipped into obscurity. Now, in a long-overdue U.S. premiere presented in English, Mannes Opera brings back this sophisticated confection, illuminating a facet of Korngold's genius rarely seen by American audiences. Conductor: Cris Frisco Director: Emma Griffin Featuring Mannes Orchestra.

Dancing | GRAMMY-Nominated Bassist Alvaro Benavides Brings Rhythmic Surge to the Stage


Originally from Venezuela, the GRAMMY-nominated bassist Alvaro Benavides brings unshakeable timing and unerring instinct to the stage, sharing beats and grooves that combust alongside the cajon into an uplifting and powerful rhythmic surge. In the past decade, Benavides has been best known as a member of the acclaimed Pedrito Martinez Group, and he has also been seen on stage with luminaries including Wynton Marsalis, John Scofield, Steve Gadd, Ruben Blades, and Issac Delgado. For an intimate social dance event, Benavides leads a quintet featuring his former bandmates Jhair Sala on percussion and Ariacne Trujillo on keys and vocals--accompanied by Leo Gruber on back vocals and a very special guest: master cajon player Diego "El Negro" Alvarez. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.
