Presented by The National Theatre Live

A new play by Nicholas Wright, directed by Nicholas Hytner, featuring Antony Sher.

How had a twenty–two–year–old pretentious layabout made a discovery that would elude everyother cinematic pioneer for years to come?

Travelling Light imagines the birth of silent film in a remote Eastern European village at the turn of the century. Motl Mendl, who’s entranced by the flickering silent images on his father’s cinematograph, makes this small Jewish community his camera’s focus. Bankrolled by Jacob, the ebullient local timber merchant, and inspired by Anna, the girl sent to help him make moving pictures of their village, he stumbles on a revolutionary way of story-telling. Forty years on, Motl – now a famed American film director – looks back on his early life and confronts the cost of fulfilling his dreams.

Nicholas Wright’s new play is a funny and fascinating tribute to the Eastern European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood’s golden age, and stars Tony and Olivier award winner, Antony Sher.

“As The Artist threatens to win the first silent Best Picture Oscar since 1927? Nicholas Wright’s play offers a fairytale imagining of how it all began.” -The Times

Leonardo Live offers an unprecedented opportunity for audiences worldwide to experience these da Vinci works. The historic exhibition is sold out in London and, due to the fragility of the paintings, the exhibition cannot tour. Crowds in the U.K. have been queing every day from dawn to snatch the few remaining tickets to the gallery. Tickets have been re-selling for $700 apiece.

Captured live on the eve of the exhibition opening in London (fall 2011), Leonardo Live will provide a high-definition walk-through of the landmark exhibition, in-depth commentary about featured pieces in the exhibit and extra content.

“Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan” brings together the largest ever number of Leonardo’s rare surviving paintings and some international loans that have never before travelled. The exhibition also brings together the largest ever number of da Vinci’s paintings, including a newly discovered, never-before-publicly exhibited painting, the Salvator Mundi.

“The show is dazzling, mysterious and disturbing. That there are any paintings to show at all is something of a miracle” says the Guardian in its review of the gallery presentation. Five stars — “a breathtaking and truly remarkable exhibition”, “the greatest exhibition of the century” raves the Telegraph.

Piedmont Opera presents Live in HD from the Met Opera, broadcasting 11 live simulcasts of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.

In one extraordinary new work, lovers of Baroque opera have it all: the world’s best singers, glorious music of the Baroque masters, and a story drawn from Shakespeare. In The Enchanted Island, the lovers from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream are shipwrecked on his other-worldly island of The Tempest. Inspired by the musical pastiches and masques of the 18th century, the work showcases arias and ensembles by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, and others, and a new libretto by Jeremy Sams. Eminent conductor William Christie leads an all-star cast with David Daniels (Prospero) and Joyce DiDonato (Sycorax) as the formidable foes, Plácido Domingo as Neptune, Danielle de Niese as Ariel, and Luca Pisaroni as Caliban. Lisette Oropesa and Anthony Roth Costanzo play Miranda and Ferdinand. The dazzling production is directed and designed by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch (Satyagraha and the Met’s 125 anniversary gala).

Emerging Pictures, in partnership with Hybrid Cinema, presents the documentary Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance.

Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance takes a look at the Joffrey Ballet, the groundbreaking cultural treasure known as the first truly American dance company. Narrated by Tony® and Emmy® Award winner Mandy Patinkin and directed by Bob Hercules (Bill T. Jones: A Good Man), the film documents how the Joffrey revolutionized American ballet by daringly combining modern dance with traditional ballet technique, combining art with social statement and setting ballets to pop and rock music scores. The film features rare excerpts from many seminal Joffrey works including Astarte, Trinity and Billboards.

The film features an appearance by Alex Ewing, a Winston-Salem resident, recent former Chancellor of UNCSA, and former Joffrey General Director. Mr. Ewing will give a short pre-screening introduction to the film, and be present afterwards for questions and comments.
