A conversation led by Renee Rotta, Tanglewood Marketing Coordinator for the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
To quote the Wall Street Journal, “A voice that marries Wagnerian stamina and Italianate beauty.” The New York Times describes it as “a gorgeously burnished power.”Please join us to learn of Russell’s journey from his native Miami to the Metropolitan Opera and beyond.
FAN’S Presents February 2021 featured Threading the Needle: Live Theater in the Time of COVID
The first two COVID-compliant and Actors’ Equity approved staged productions in the US triumphed in the Berkshires last summer, navigating through shifting social distancing protocols, rapidly changing lockdown mandates, and Hurricane Isaias.
Julianne Boyd, Artistic Director of Barrington Stage Company, and Kate Maguire, Artistic Director and CEO of Berkshire Theatre Group, have battle-tested wisdom and remarkable stories to tell about how they pulled it off and what it all means for their art form, field and community. A conversation led by Deborah Margol.
FAN’S January 2021 Membership Meeting and 25th Anniversary Kick Off Celebration featured Xavier Cortada speaking about Sea Level Rise: How Art and Science Intersect.
