Gallery Bienvenu Presents - Artist: Sibylle Peretti "The Unusual Kind"
October 6, 2009 - November 28, 2009 |
Added to Itinerary |
Times: Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Location: Gallery Bienvenu, 518 Julia Street
Phone: (504) 525-0518
German-born artist Sibylle Peretti conjures visions of childhood and childhood lost. In Perettis works, children are often grouped in pairs, conversing wordlessly with one another or with birds, water, or flowers, as if immersed in a mystical union with nature. Her ethereal imagery and haunting thematic subtexts captivate the viewers imagination.
Perettis exhibition at Gallery Bienvenu features porcelain sculptures and mixed-media works on panel, which incorporate myriad layers of paper, oil paint, and watercolor on either side of Plexiglas panels. Her unique techniques impart a texture that complements the works conceptual nuance. Collectors and museum curators around the world have responded to Peretti's vision, which hovers between fairy tale, dream, and historic fact.
The current series was inspired by a growing fascination with children raised with little or no exposure to human beings. With their immaculate innocence, such children have intrigued storytellers and researchers for ages from Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome, who are said to have been nursed by a wolf to Victor of Aveyron, made famous by Truffault's film, The Wild Child to Genie, a feral child whose discovery made headlines in the 1970s.
These children live in a kind of private, untouchable world, the artist says, in which their honesty and purity opens doors of fantasies and dreams. With Peretti's imagery as a springboard, viewers may project themselves into the children's archaic, pre-verbal world. The works reconnect us to dormant memories or emotions, inducing free associations that encourage the mind to skim and skip where rationality alone could not lead. It is this freeing of the imagination, coupled with the rigors she lavishes on composition and surface, that so eloquently distinguishes her work.

On December 20, 1803, the Louisiana Purchase was signed, confirming the transfer of the former French colony to the United States. Statehood, however, was not immediate. For nearly 10 years, Louisiana was entrenched in a turbulent period, rife with political disputes and culture clashes. The exhibition Between Colony & State: Louisiana in the Territorial Period, 1803-1812, and its companion online component, examines the people, places, and events that shaped this fascinating period.

New Orleans Museum of Art Presents - Woodward Exhibition Opening Reception

Added to Itinerary |
Times: 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Location: New Orleans Museum of Art, One Collins Diboll Circle, City Park
Phone: (504) 658-4100
Come join us at The Museum of Art Opening Reception for the William Woodward Exhibition. Drawing from the holdings of both institutions, the exhibition features more than 70 paintings, etchings, sculpture and ephemera related to Woodward's life and works. A native of Massachusetts, Woodward came to New Orleans in the 1880s to teach fine arts, mechanical drawing and architectural drawing at Tulane University.
Woodward was involved with every facet of architecture in New Orleans, consulting on the design of Tulane's new building for architecture classes. He also designed and built his own home in Uptown New Orleans. His interest in architecture evolved into a passionate commitment to preservation. The first artist to focus intensely on the Vieux Carré, Woodward documented the Quarter's rich cultural heritage in vignettes of daily life-women at market, street cleaners, deliverymen and milkmaids driving drayage carts and residents engaged in their daily activities.
Woodward's depictions of French Quarter buildings focused public attention on the heedless destruction of historic properties. The exhibition offers an opportunity to view a large selection of Woodward's renderings of the French Quarter and to judge the strength of his artistic contribution.

Admission: $29.00
Join us at the Southern Rep Theatre for the Regional Premiere of the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize Winner I AM MY OWN WIFE. I AM MY OWN WIFE, written by Doug Wright is the hauntingly complex true tale of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German transvestite who successfully outwitted not only the Nazis and Communists, but could also spot a priceless antique at 100 yards. The play is the hauntingly complex true tale of the quietly dignified Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German transvestite who not only outwitted the Nazis and Communists, but could also spot a priceless antique at 100 yards. Playwright Doug Wright spent ten years interviewing Charlotte and developing this play. For Charlotte collected antiques from abandoned or bombed houses, enough to turn her East Berlin home into a museum, and transform the basement into a salon and haven for gay artists and intellectuals struggling to survive under the repressive regime.
She received the Medal of Honor from the reunified German government for preserving antiques and culture. But before her life was over, all of her life story would be called into question. Yet this is not a story about being gay, not a story about being a cross-dresser and not a story about cold war politics. It is a story about survival and one astounding person. And, by the way, its funny, too. Directed by Carl Walker - Co-Production with All Kinds of Theatre. Southern Rep provides discounts for students, seniors, active military, K-12 teachers, and theatre professionals (I.D. required).

The composer again turned to a great work of literature - Shakespeare's timeless drama of doomed love between two teenagers from rival families in 14th-century Verona. Many of the most famous scenes from the play are captured in the opera: Mercutio's charming Ballad of Mab, the Fairy Queen; Juliet's breathless arrival at the Capulets' ball; the nocturnal balcony farewell of the young couple; their secret marriage by the kindly Friar Laurence; flashing swordplay that results in the deaths of two young men; the touching bedroom scene; the magic potion; and the final, anguished meeting of the "star-crossed lovers." Gounod lavished on this score a sure hand with a distinctively French touch, creating some of his most beautifully memorable music.

New Orleans Po-Boy Festival
November 22, 2009 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: 12:00 pm
Location: Oak Street at South Carrollton
Come join us for the New Orleans Poboy Preservation Festival. Hosted by the Oak Street Association, the New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival was founded as a celebration of the storied sandwich and the role it has played in New Orleans' culinary culture. History has it that a local shop owner who was formerly a streetcar driver began feeding the striking the workers for free. When a hungry worker would come in off of the picket line the call would go out: "here comes another poor boy!" From those humble beginnings spring the many varieties of the po-boy sandwich; a New Orleans original of which there is no sub-stitute! The Po-Boy Preservation Festival will also highlight the ongoing revitalization of the Oak Street corridor.

Admission: $29.00
Join us at the Southern Rep Theatre for the Regional Premiere of the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize Winner I AM MY OWN WIFE. I AM MY OWN WIFE, written by Doug Wright is the hauntingly complex true tale of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German transvestite who successfully outwitted not only the Nazis and Communists, but could also spot a priceless antique at 100 yards. The play is the hauntingly complex true tale of the quietly dignified Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German transvestite who not only outwitted the Nazis and Communists, but could also spot a priceless antique at 100 yards. Playwright Doug Wright spent ten years interviewing Charlotte and developing this play. For Charlotte collected antiques from abandoned or bombed houses, enough to turn her East Berlin home into a museum, and transform the basement into a salon and haven for gay artists and intellectuals struggling to survive under the repressive regime.
She received the Medal of Honor from the reunified German government for preserving antiques and culture. But before her life was over, all of her life story would be called into question. Yet this is not a story about being gay, not a story about being a cross-dresser and not a story about cold war politics. It is a story about survival and one astounding person. And, by the way, its funny, too. Directed by Carl Walker - Co-Production with All Kinds of Theatre. Southern Rep provides discounts for students, seniors, active military, K-12 teachers, and theatre professionals (I.D. required).
Local director Carl Walker returns to Southern Rep after his much-lauded direction of DOUBT in the All Kinds of Theatre/Southern Rep co-production two seasons ago. Southern Rep provides discounts for students, seniors, active military, K-12 teachers, and theatre professionals (I.D. required).

Le Petit Theatre Presents - A "White Christmas"
December 4, 2009 - December 20, 2009 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: Friday 8:00 pm; Saturday 2:00 pm Matinee; Sunday 2:00 pm Matinee
http://www.lepetittheatre.com
Location: Le Petit Theatre, 616 Saint Peter Street
Phone: (504) 522-2081
Admission: $25.00 - $62.00; student and group discounts are available
Make a new holiday memory this year at Le Petit Theatre with Irving Berlin’s beloved musical “White Christmas,” a show the whole family will love, running December 4 – 20. New Orleans’ newest holiday experience will include not-to-be-missed decorations and visits from Santa at every matinee. And, just in case New Orleans gets a warm December, there’s a guarantee of snow inside the theatre.
A glorious stage adaptation of the beloved, timeless film, this heartwarming musical features 17 Irving Berlin standards to tell the story of two World War II veterans whose successful song and dance act (and eyes for two beautiful singing sisters) leads them to a picturesque Vermont Inn – which just happens to be owned by their former army commander – to stage a winter show. Presented originally on Broadway last year to sold-out audiences, the uplifting story is a merry and bright theatrical experience full of dancing, laughter and some of the greatest songs ever written.
The dazzling score features well-known standards such as “Blue Skies,” “I Love A Piano,” “How Deep Is the Ocean” and the perennial favorite, “White Christmas.” Le Petit’s 25-member cast features five local talents who have gone on to regional and New York theater careers: Brandt Blocker (Director), Rich Arnold (Phil Davis), Ashley Lemmler (Betty Haynes), Kasey Marino (Bob Wallace) and Julie Tolivar (Judy Haynes). Arnold – whose “White Christmas” role was performed by Danny Kaye in the film – appeared at Le Petit last year as Rich in “Cabaret.” While in New York, he has performed with the Broadway tour and Moscow companies of 42nd Street. Lemmler – who takes on Rosemary Clooney’s role – is widely known across the region.
Most recently at Le Petit, she was seen as Amalia in “She Loves Me,” Nellie in “Summer and Smoke,” and the soprano in the vocal quartet in “City of Angels.” She’s a frequent performer on the New Orleans music scene, including jazz solo spots at Harrah’s and the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Marino – stepping into Bing Crosby’s film role – was seen this past summer in Tulane Summer Lyric’s production of “Company” as Robert. He was featured in the closing company of “Hairspray” on Broadway and is currently working on several Broadway-bound projects. Tolivar – whose slot was originally filled by Vera-Ellen – understudied and played Truly Scrumptious opposite Raul Esparza in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” on Broadway, and understudied Tony-award winning actress Karen Ziemba in the role of Georgia Hendrix in the Tony-winner “Curtains” on Broadway. She won the 2008 Kevin Kline Award for Best Actress in a Musical for Polly in “Crazy for You” at Stages St. Louis. Because of the added demand for tickets, Saturday matinees have been added to regular performances on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday evenings and Sunday matinees.

Le Petit Theatre Presents - A "White Christmas"
December 10, 2009 - December 17, 2009 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: Thursdays 8:00 pm
http://www.lepetittheatre.com
Location: Le Petit Theatre, 616 Saint Peter Street
Phone: (504) 522-2081
Admission: $25.00 - $62.00; student and group discounts are available
Make a new holiday memory this year at Le Petit Theatre with Irving Berlin’s beloved musical “White Christmas,” a show the whole family will love, running December 4 – 20. New Orleans’ newest holiday experience will include not-to-be-missed decorations and visits from Santa at every matinee. And, just in case New Orleans gets a warm December, there’s a guarantee of snow inside the theatre.
A glorious stage adaptation of the beloved, timeless film, this heartwarming musical features 17 Irving Berlin standards to tell the story of two World War II veterans whose successful song and dance act (and eyes for two beautiful singing sisters) leads them to a picturesque Vermont Inn – which just happens to be owned by their former army commander – to stage a winter show. Presented originally on Broadway last year to sold-out audiences, the uplifting story is a merry and bright theatrical experience full of dancing, laughter and some of the greatest songs ever written.
The dazzling score features well-known standards such as “Blue Skies,” “I Love A Piano,” “How Deep Is the Ocean” and the perennial favorite, “White Christmas.” Le Petit’s 25-member cast features five local talents who have gone on to regional and New York theater careers: Brandt Blocker (Director), Rich Arnold (Phil Davis), Ashley Lemmler (Betty Haynes), Kasey Marino (Bob Wallace) and Julie Tolivar (Judy Haynes). Arnold – whose “White Christmas” role was performed by Danny Kaye in the film – appeared at Le Petit last year as Rich in “Cabaret.” While in New York, he has performed with the Broadway tour and Moscow companies of 42nd Street. Lemmler – who takes on Rosemary Clooney’s role – is widely known across the region.
Most recently at Le Petit, she was seen as Amalia in “She Loves Me,” Nellie in “Summer and Smoke,” and the soprano in the vocal quartet in “City of Angels.” She’s a frequent performer on the New Orleans music scene, including jazz solo spots at Harrah’s and the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Marino – stepping into Bing Crosby’s film role – was seen this past summer in Tulane Summer Lyric’s production of “Company” as Robert. He was featured in the closing company of “Hairspray” on Broadway and is currently working on several Broadway-bound projects. Tolivar – whose slot was originally filled by Vera-Ellen – understudied and played Truly Scrumptious opposite Raul Esparza in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” on Broadway, and understudied Tony-award winning actress Karen Ziemba in the role of Georgia Hendrix in the Tony-winner “Curtains” on Broadway. She won the 2008 Kevin Kline Award for Best Actress in a Musical for Polly in “Crazy for You” at Stages St. Louis. Because of the added demand for tickets, Saturday matinees have been added to regular performances on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday evenings and Sunday matinees.

The parade will honor of the life and death of Jeanne D’Arc, born January 6, 1412, in Domremy , France , who was burned at the stake at age nineteen, two years after her success at the Battle of Orléans, France. This first annual parade will feature three Joan of Arcs, in addition to artists, musicians, and revelers of all ages in medieval/Renaissance costumes.
The parade will be lit by processional candles carried by 50 participants, and parade participants will sing a Joan of Arc marching song, put to an ancient French melody. Caye Mitchell of the New Orleans Posse, a riding club whose members participate in many New Orleans parades, including the Lady Godivas in Muses, will play Joan as a soldier, riding on a white horse carrying a replica of Joan’s standard (created by local artist Susan Gisleson) and will be flanked by two knights in armor on horseback bearing torches. One of these knights will be her husband Fred Mitchell, portraying the Bastard of Orléans, one of Joan’s most loyal comrades. Kelly Faucheux, one of the owners of Renaissance Publishing whose company logo happens to be the image of the Joan of Arc statue in the French Quarter—will ride on a horse as the beatified Joan, wearing a halo and covered in gold as a symbol of Joan’s redemption and immortality.
Kelley shares a birthday with Joan of Arc, and is particularly excited to celebrate her 40th in this truly New Orleans fashion, surrounded by members of Renaissance Publishing Company dressed as angels. Australia James, an honors student at Helen Cox High School and a NOCCA theatre student, will portray Joan as prisoner. She will perform a monologue from George Bernard Shaw’s play Saint Joan at the statue at St. Phillip Street , giving voice to Joan just before her execution.
Before the parade, she will stand at the John Scott sculpture Ocean Song at Woldenberg Park , which with its mirrored shapes resembling flames foreshadows her fate. A highlight of the parade will be the limited edition gift boxed commemorative imported Italian Saint Joan of Arc medallions and necklaces that Rob Clemenz, owner of SaintsforSinners.com will offer fortunate parade-goers. Additional throws include more reverent and unique items such as Joan of Arc prayer cards, as well as somewhat irreverent items like Atomic Fireball candies.
Parade participants will toast Joan below her statue with Goldschläger, a cinnamon schnapps containing tiny flakes of gold, generously provided by Glazer’s of Louisiana .

The New Orleans School of Art & Craft is the latest venture of art entrepreneur Blake Vonder Haar, the founder and director of The New Orleans Conservation Guild (opened in 1997), the Antique Frame Gallery (2001), New Orleans Art Supply (2005), as well as the hugely popular Bywater Art Market (2002).
New Orleans has had a long love affair with art and artists, and while there have been academic studies in Fine Art available in the city, there has been a real lack of instruction in Fine Craft. The School of Art & Craft hopes to fill that void with classes in Metalsmithing, Mosaics, Sculpture, Mixed Media, Puppet and Marionette making, Papermaking, Bookbinding, Calligraphy as well as Beginning Drawing and Oil Painting and Portraiture.
Additionally we will offer drawing and painting classes with a twist by offering specialties like “Cityscapes in Plein Air with Watercolor”; “Pen and Ink Techniques”, “Storytelling through Comics”, “Phototransfers using Encaustic”, “Printmaking: Linocuts”, "Photographing your Art", and "Basic Digital Photography", with much much more to come in the future. Several classes are designated for or appropriate for children and youth. Classes will range from one day to 12 week classes as well as weekend workshops, and will start as early as 9 am with several evening classes on the schedule.

Giuseppe Verdi's Messa da Requiem
January 24, 2010 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: 2:30 pm
Location: Mahalia Jackson Theater of the Performing Arts
Phone: (504) 529-3000
The most operatic of all sacred works, the 1874 Requiem takes its rightful place in a season of treasures from the late Romantic period. The closing "Libera me" section was conceived in 1869 as part of a mass written by 13 different composers to honor Rossini after his death. That effort was abandoned, to Verdi's frustration, but five years later he resolved to bring a Requiem to completion as tribute to Alessandro Manzoni, the Italian poet, novelist and humanist. Verdi's admiration for the writer brought out his best - the music is infused with rhythmic vitality, sublime melodies and dramatic contrasts. He recycled a duet from Don Carlos and chose a quartet of singers from the European production of Aida for the Milan premiere, which he himself conducted. Join internationally known soloists from today's operatic stage, the New Orleans Opera Chorus, and choral groups from throughout our community for this special event.

Phone: (504) 659-4100
On January 30, New Orleans Museum of Art will kick off the 2010 contemporary exhibition schedule with a celebration of New Orleans artists Quintron and Miss Pussycat. Widely known for multimedia performances in music clubs and alternative art spaces over the past 15 years, Quintron and Miss Pussycat have inspired audiences around the world with their innovative approach to puppetry and organ-based music. Parallel Universe: Quintron and Miss Pussycat Live at City Park will be the artists' first museum exhibition. In addition to past work, Miss Pussycat will debut a new music video, and an original music album by Quintron will be recorded entirely on-site at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Parallel Universe: Quintron and Miss Pussycat Live at City Park is organized by Miranda Lash, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.
The exhibition will begin with a vibrant and comprehensive display of Miss Pussycat's puppetry, a "parallel universe" the artist creates and channels within her set designs and performances. Hundreds of her puppets will take over the first gallery, spanning the length of Miss Pussycat's career. Arranged in miniature landscapes, her handmade puppets fuse the surreal and fantastical with a dose of whimsy. Functional in purpose and beguiling in form, the puppets enact scenes laden with satire, humor, and wit, while appearing innocent and child-like. Describing the puppets as "portals to the spirit world," the artist explains that the ritual of making a puppet show allows the puppets to assume a life of their own. Her versatile working method as a puppeteer ranges from swiftly arranging puppet shows for rock concert stages, to painstakingly directing videos with large support crews and arranging prerecorded soundtracks. Miss Pussycat's presentation will include the debut of her latest puppet video.

The World Famous Lipizzaner Stallions are coming to the New Orleans Arena! The Lipizzaner Stallion has galloped boldly out of the pages of over 400 years of history, and is now preserved as an equestrian work of art, an equine ballet not to be rivaled. Harkening back to a time when the horse was a symbol of grace and majesty, the Lipizzaner Stallions are truly a great experience to be enjoyed by the entire family!
The Lipizzan is a rare and unique breed; its history and culture is known worldwide. The Walt Disney movie The Miracle of the White Stallions, depicting General George S. Patton saving them at the end of World War II from certain extinction, created an even greater world-wide interest in the Lipizzaner breed. Had it not been for Patton, there would be no Lipizzans today.

An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna is about to let go of Sophie, the spirited daughter she’s raised alone. For Sophie’s wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends—practical and no-nonsense Rosie and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya - from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own. On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna’s past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities. Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA’s songs from “Dancing Queen” and “S.O.S.” to “Money, Money, Money” and “Take a Chance on Me,” MAMMA MIA! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.

The composer's own stormy sea voyage from Germany to England may have provided impetus for his inspired treatment of the famous legend. The Flying Dutchman, having struggled to round the Cape of Good Hope during a whirling gale, recklessly swears to complete the task, even if it takes an eternity. He is condemned by the forces of darkness to sail until Judgment Day, unless he meets a woman willing to die in order to save him. Permitted to land only once every seven years to seek redemption, the Dutchman's ship docks in a Norwegian coastal town where he encounters Senta. Already obsessed with the gloomy myth, she is torn between her lover Erik, and the compelling, mysterious stranger. Wagner's wild and haunting opera, first heard in 1843, is his earliest work to be performed regularly worldwide. Don't miss this powerful close to our season!
