SUMMARY:Met Opera Live in HD: Bellini’s “I Puritani”
DESCRIPTION:For gorgeous melody\, spellbinding coloratura\, and virtuoso vocal fireworks\, ‘I Puritani’ has few equals. The first new Met production of Bellini’s final masterpiece in nearly 50 years is a striking staging by Charles Edwards\, who makes his company directorial debut after many successes as a set designer. The Met has assembled a world-beating quartet of stars\, conducted by Marco Armiliato\, for the demanding principal roles. Soprano Lisette Oropesa and tenor Lawrence Brownlee are Elvira and Arturo\, brought together by love and torn apart by the political rifts of the English Civil War\, with baritone Artur Ruciński as Riccardo\, betrothed to Elvira against her will\, and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as Elvira’s sympathetic uncle\, Giorgio.

SUMMARY:Indigo Comedy Night with David Drake
DESCRIPTION:With host Thomas Attila Lewis and featured support \nDavid Drake is a comedian. He is a very funny comedian. He has been featured on Comedy Central\, HBO\, Sirius XM\, Cracked\, Don’t Tell\, and Fox. He was named one of Complex Magazine’s ‘Comics to Watch Under 30\,’ although is now 38\, and one of New York Comedy Festival’s ‘Comics to Watch\,’ but they did not specify any age boundaries. He is a producer of the long-standing New York showcase Comedians You Should Know NYC and a regular at the world-famous Comedy Cellar. With six stand-up albums and three specials under his belt\, including the critically acclaimed Big Break\, David delivers comedy that’s “smart and engaging” (‘The New York Times’) and “endlessly watchable” (‘Humorism’). In addition to stand-up\, he is a five-time reoccurring guest on the popular storytelling podcast ‘Risk!’ and a producer of the traveling outdoor storytelling series ‘Campfire.’ David currently performs nationwide while working out a niche in New York’s legendary comedy scene and sometimes he’ll eat fries off your plate. He feels bad about that. He’s sorry… I’m sorry. I’m David Drake. This was me the whole time.
