Saturday, February 18 at 7 PM: Life, Animated
Directed by: Roger Ross Williams
A Release from The Orchard
Synopsis
The Strand opens our 2017 film series with this 2017 Oscar Nominee: LIFE, ANIMATED. It is the real-life story of Owen Suskind, the son of the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind and his wife, Cornelia. An autistic boy who couldn’t speak for years, Owen memorized dozens of Disney movies, turned them into a language to express love and loss, kinship, brotherhood. The family was forced to become animated characters, communicating with him in Disney dialogue and song. Until they all emerge, together, revealing how, in darkness, we all literally need stories to survive. Incredible story well told.

Sunday, February 19 at 2 PM: La Cenerentola
Our first onscreen opera of the season: La Cenerentola
(based on the Cinderella story)
Opera in 2 acts (1817)
Music by Gioacchino Rossini (1792-1868)
Libretto by Jacopo Ferretti (1784-1852)
Capturing all the vocal sparks and dazzle generated by
the charismatic Juan Diego Flórez and stunning Joyce
DiDonato, this "may just be the definitive performance of
Rossini's enchanting ragstoriches fairytale," (Opera
Today).
With his airy, effortless high notes and perfect command
of rapidfire Rossinian parlando, Flórez once again
proves that he was born to sing Rossini. American mezzo
Joyce DiDonato is not only a beautiful Angelina, but also
a prodigiously gifted artist who moves with ease and
grace from the most delicate pianissimi to the most
heartrending outbursts of passion.
Conducting the Orchestra of the Gran Teatre del Liceu,
Patrick Summers leads “an effervescent reading” (Opera
Today) that is fully supported by the rest of the topnotch
cast. Director Joan Font and his designer Joan Guillén
keep the audience busy with many lovingly crafted details,
including dancing mice, cheerily colorful costumes
and imaginative lighting effects, courtesy of Albert
Faura. Light and bubbly, this is Rossini at his finest..
