As part of the upcoming Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts (in April), Astral Artists has commissioned animation by Micah Chambers Goldberg, accompanied by a piano transcription of Stravinsky's The Firebird by Alexander Moutouzkine - and played live by him - in a film called Who Stole the Mona Lisa?" The premiere is planned for April 9 at the Kimmel. The trailer looks promising
Reading Terminal Market shoppers were ambushed again today by opera. At noon, an excerpt from Bizet's Carmen popped out of no where, sung by both soloists and a rather large plain-clothes chorus. Listeners were startled and tickled. Once again, the event was staged by the Opera Company of Philadelphia, and underwritten by a grant from the Knight Foundation. Philly Online was there; video here.
