Staged Reading | Tennessee Williams's The Night of the Iguana with Golden Globe and Tony Winners (virtual)


In Tennessee Williams's The Night of the Iguana, a defrocked clergyman encounters inside disturbances amid outside disturbances during one stormy night at the Costa Verde Hotel in Acapulco as the world prepares for World War II. After four women of different ages and backgrounds, along with a 97-year-old poet, engage in the clergyman's spiritual struggles, their lives leap dramatically forward. And the catalytic, defrocked clergyman makes it through the night. Directed by Emily Mann.

Lecture | Flight or Fight. Stories of Artists Under Repression: With Harvard Art Museums Lecturer (virtual)


Anneliese Hager (1904-1997) is one of a number of modern artists who began their artistic experimentation in Germany after National Socialist cultural policy began to harden against all forms of modern art. Her preferred medium was the photogram, a photographic image made by placing an object directly on (or in close proximity to) a light-sensitive surface and exposing it to light. Hager called the reversal of light and dark in the resulting contact print "white shadows." Despite being one of the photogram's key 20th century practitioners, Hager has remained virtually unknown. All of her artwork prior to 1945 was completely destroyed in the bombing of Dresden. In the 1950s, she, like many women artists, was increasingly overlooked as a result of the return to a conservative sexual and social order. This talk will thus examine "white shadows" as an apt metaphor for an artistic project which began under Nazi censure and ended in a different kind of isolation in postwar Germany. Presented by Lynette Roth, Harvard Art Museums.

Opera | Met Opera: Wagner's Parsifal (virtual)


The Met assembled an ideal cast for Francois Girard's acclaimed new production of Wagner's final masterpiece. Jonas Kaufmann in the title role of the fool "made wise by compassion" is as convincing vocally as he is haunting dramatically, delivering a thoroughly moving portrayal. Rene Pape is equally compelling as Gurnemanz, the veteran Knight of the Grail, and Katarina Dalayman thrillingly brings out the dual sides of Kundry. Peter Mattei is Amfortas, the anguished ruler of the Grail's kingdom, and Evgeny Nikitin sings the evil magician Klingsor. Daniele Gatti on the podium reveals both the serenity and dramatic tension of what may be Wagner's greatest score. Streaming will be available for 23 hrs. Please keep in mind the event can be viewed on the day and time specified in the listing, not before.

Slide Lecture | Speakeasies of NYC: A Tale of Crime, Creativity, and Celebration (virtual)


Explore the history of speakeasies in New York City, and how the strict men's only drinking clubs of pre-1920s America were replaced with cosmopolitan watering holes where the only rule was to have fun. Led by art historian and museum educator Sylvia Laudien-Meo, this presentation will include: - An overview of the Temperance Movement, from the series of events that led to the 18th Amendment in 1920, to the complex effects it had on NYC's social life, to creative ways people worked around it; - The rise and proliferation of the Speakeasy -- while it created new trouble in American society like bootlegging and organized crime, it also paved the way for a burgeoning of gifted entertainers and the women's social liberation movement; - A closer look at some of the most infamous NYC speakeasies, including Lansky's Lounge and Chumley's, larger dance halls like the Stork's Club or 300 Club, and secret beer caves in the Bronx; - How speakeasies kept their operations hush-hush, from quietly transporting booze to their bars, to escape routes and tunnels, to tricks they used to hide their illicit operations in case they were raided. Q&A will follow.
