Tour | St. Petersburg: 300 Years of Russian History (virtual) SOLD OUT


The Palace Square was the main square of the glamorous Russian Empire. Now, it is the hub of cultural life of St.Petersburg. There's a former residence of the Romanovs royal dynasty - the Winter Palace - now known as the Hermitage, one of the biggest museums in the world. However, this central and seemingly most studied and walked through location has its hidden corners and many stories to share.

Discussion | The Met Museum's About Time: Fashion and Duration, Conversation with the Exhibition Designer (virtual)

Winner of the 2019 Scotsman Fringe First Award, Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran is a darkly comedic, urgent play about entitlement, consumption and digital technology, that explores the ubiquitous feeling that our societies are falling apart. Combining digital theater and a live Instagram feed, it is the sequel to The Believers Are But Brothers, and the second part of a trilogy of plays from Javaad Alipoor about how digital technology, resentment and fracturing identities are changing the world. Written by Javaad Alipoor (U.K./Iran) Co-Created by Javaad Alipoor and Kirsty Housley

Opera | Met Opera: Dvořák’s Rusalka (virtual, streaming for 23 hrs)


Otto Schenk’s storybook production perfectly captures the fairy-tale world of Dvořák’s supremely romantic opera. Star soprano Renée Fleming, in one of her most acclaimed portrayals, takes on the title role of the water nymph who longs to be human, opposite Piotr Beczała as the Prince, the object of her affection. John Relyea is the Water Gnome, Dolora Zajick sings the witch Ježibaba, and Emily Magee is the Foreign Princess. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts. Please note: the event can be viewed on the day and time specified in the listing, not before.
