Met Opera LIVE: Puccini’s TOSCA
Rivaling the splendor of Franco Zeffirelli’s set and costumes of the Napoleonic era, Sir David McVicar’s ravishing new production offers a splendid backdrop for two extraordinary sopranos sharing the title role of the jealous prima donna: Sonya Yoncheva and Anna Netrebko. Vittorio Grigolo and Marcelo Álvarez alternate in the role of Tosca’s revolutionary artist lover Cavaradossi, with Michael Volle and Željko Lučić as the depraved police chief Scarpia. Emmanuel Villaume conducts.

Do a snow dance and hope for snow this February 1st!

Bring your gear (and maybe some snow-fort building materials) and have a Snow Day with us!
Ernie’s will provide a few fats bikes to demo, and Portland Trails will have snow-shoes available to use on a first come, first serve basis.
Plus, we’ll enjoy a winter bonfire and some s’mores! $5/members, $7/non-members, $20/families.
WinterKids Downhill 24
The Downhill 24 is a team ski and snowboard challenge & fundraiser to benefit WinterKids. Teams compete to see who can not only raise the most in fundraising for WinterKids – but also see who has what it takes to spend a full 24 hours on the slopes. Participants can ski or snowboard as much or as little as they want. It’s the only night of the year to head down the hill under the lights at Sugarloaf.
Tal National
Tal National are from Niamey, the capital city of Niger. Their music is joyously hypnotic, a highly unique contribution to West African guitar music. With its lightening fast rhythms and rotating cast of vocalists can be heard the history of Niger as a cultural crossroads along ancient trade routes.

Jenny Scheinman: “Kannapolis: A Moving Portrait”
In her new multi-media project, acclaimed composer, singer, and violinist Jenny Scheinman invites us into the captivating visual world of Depression-era filmmaker H. Lee Waters. Scheinman is joined by guitarist Robbie Fulks (who is “so good, it’s scary” according to The Chicago Tribune) and banjoist Robbie Gjersoe to create a live soundtrack of new folksongs, fiddle music, and field sounds to accompany this fascinating footage of small town America, masterfully reworked into a new film by director Finn Taylor. The humanity in these songs and images bares a transcendent, universal quality that speaks to any community.
