  • Boardwalk Empire’ Comes to Harlem
    ENTERTAINMENT ‘Boardwalk Empire’ Comes to Harlem By Ericka Blount Danois on September 9, 2013 “One looks down in secret and sees many things,” Dr. Valentin Narcisse (Jeffrey Wright) deadpans, speaking to Chalky White (Michael K. Williams). “You know what I saw? A servant trying to be a king.” And so begins a dance of power, politics and personality between two of the most electrifying, enigmatic actors on the television screen today. Each time the two are on screen—together or apart—they breathed new life into tonight’s premiere episode of Boardwalk Empire season four, with dark humor, slight smiles, powerful glances, smart clothes and killer lines. Entitled “New York Sour,” the episode opened with bombast, unlike the slow boil of previous seasons. Set in 1924, we’re introduced to the tasteful opulence of Chalky White’s new club, The Onyx, decorated with sconces custom-made in Paris and shimmering, shapely dancing girls. Chalky earned an ally, and eventually a partnership to be able to open the club, with former political boss and gangster Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) by saving Nucky’s life last season. This sister club to the legendary Cotton Club in Harlem is Whites-only, but features Black acts. There are some cringe-worthy moments when Chalky, normally proud and infallible, has to deal with racism and bends over to appease his White clientele. But more often, Chalky—a Texas- born force to be reckoned with—breathes an insistent dose of much needed humor into what sometimes devolves into cheap shoot ’em up thrills this season. The meeting of the minds between Narcisse and Chalky takes root in the aftermath of a mistake by Chalky’s right hand man, Dunn Purnsley (Erik LaRay Harvey), who engages in an illicit interracial tryst that turns out to be a dramatic, racially-charged sex game gone horribly wrong.

  • FY19 Annual Report View Report
    Annual Report 2018–19 3 Introduction 5 Metropolitan Opera Board of Directors 6 Season Repertory and Events 14 Artist Roster 16 The Financial Results 20 Our Patrons On the cover: Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes a bow after his first official performance as Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer Music Director PHOTO: JONATHAN TICHLER / MET OPERA 2 Introduction The 2018–19 season was a historic one for the Metropolitan Opera. Not only did the company present more than 200 exiting performances, but we also welcomed Yannick Nézet-Séguin as the Met’s new Jeanette Lerman- Neubauer Music Director. Maestro Nézet-Séguin is only the third conductor to hold the title of Music Director since the company’s founding in 1883. I am also happy to report that the 2018–19 season marked the fifth year running in which the company’s finances were balanced or very nearly so, as we recorded a very small deficit of less than 1% of expenses. The season opened with the premiere of a new staging of Saint-Saëns’s epic Samson et Dalila and also included three other new productions, as well as three exhilarating full cycles of Wagner’s Ring and a full slate of 18 revivals. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 13th season, with ten broadcasts reaching more than two million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (box office, media, and presentations) totaled $121 million. As in past seasons, total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. The new productions in the 2018–19 season were the work of three distinguished directors, two having had previous successes at the Met and one making his company debut.

  • ABLE Summer Conference 2019 Workshop and Speaker Details
    ABLE Summer Conference 2019 Workshop and Speaker Details. Morning Keynote Keynote Title: TBC Name of Presenter: Vicky McClure Vicky McClure is one of the country’s most exciting actors, and thanks to Shane Meadows’ This is England 86, she has already claimed a Best Leading Actress BAFTA for her mesmerising and heartbreaking performance as ‘Lol.’ She was nominated again for the same role in This is England 86 and finished the story with This is England 90. Originally learning her craft at the Nottingham TV Workshop, an acting school responsible of launching the careers of Jack O’Connell, Samantha Morton, Toby Kebbel and Joe Demise, she was discovered by Shane and starred in one of his earlier films A Room for Romeo Brass then was asked to join the This is England family. Vicky has gone on to star in the best produced drama we’ve seen; the multi award-winning Line of Duty (BBC ONE), series one of the hit drama Broadchurch (ITV), True Love (C4) co-starring Joanne Froggatt, Sheridan Smith, Kaya Scodelario, Gemma Chan and Billie Piper; The Secret Agent (BBC ONE) with Toby Jones and Stephen Graham; the intense thriller rollercoaster The Replacement (BBC ONE) opposite Morven Christie; spoof comedy Action Team (ITV); the beautifully portrayed and considered Mother’s Day (BBC2) starring Anna Maxwell Martin, Daniel Mays and David Wilmot. Upcoming projects include Our Dementia Choir with Vicky McClure; a deeply personal journey for McClure that explores further the relationship between the illness and music. The highly anticipated Line of Duty 5 with guest star Stephen Graham is back on screen in 2019, and I Am, a project from director Dominic Savage will be on screens featuring Samantha Morton and Gemma Chan.

Michel Foucault, (1984, 239) "I should tell you of the hidden [city of] Berenice, the city of the just, [...] linking a network of wires and pipes and pulleys and pistons and counterweights that infiltrates like a climbing plant" Italo Calvino, (1974, 148) Invisible Cities . "Cities are the summation and densest expressions of infrastructure, or more accurately a set of infrastructures, working sometimes in harmony, sometimes with frustrating discord, to provide us with shelter, contact, energy, water and means to meet other human needs. The infrastructure is a reflection of our social and historical evolution. It is a symbol of what we are collectively, and its forms and functions sharpen our understanding of the similarities and differences among regions, groups and cultures. The physical infrastructure consists of various structures, buildings, pipes, roads, rail, bridges, tunnels and wires. Equally important and subject to change is the 'software' for the physical infrastructure, all the formal and informal rules for the operation of the systems" (Herman and Ausubel, (1988, 1),Cities and Their Vital Systems "The town is the correlate of the road. The town exists only as a function of circulation and of circuits; it is a singular point on the circuits which create it and which it creates.

  • Hbo Premieres Fourth Season of Boardwalk Empire
    HBO PREMIERES FOURTH SEASON OF BOARDWALK EMPIRE Miami, FL – September 24, 2013 – HBO Latin America announced that it will premiere the fourth season of the 17-time Emmy® winning, highly acclaimed original drama series, Boardwalk Empire, on October 6th. Created by Terrence Winter (Emmy® Award-winning writer of The Sopranos) and directed and produced by Martin Scorsese (Academy Award® winning director), this one-hour drama series chronicles the life and times of Enoch “Nucky” Thompson (Emmy® nominee and Golden Globe® winner Steve Buscemi), Atlantic City’s undisputed czar at a time when Prohibition proved to be a major catalyst in the rise of organized crime in America. Season 4 picks up eight months after the end of Season 3, in February 1924 – the year jazz “really came into being,” with fictional dancers/singers as well as the ubiquitous Charleston dance. Having barely survived an overthrow by Gyp Rossetti in Season 3, Nucky Thompson is laying low at the end of the Boardwalk as the season begins. Eventually he’ll butt heads with Mayor Bader, battle with his brother Eli about the fate of Eli’s college-bound son Willie, and set his sights on the lucrative drug and real-estate opportunities in Florida. Most of the drama in this season’s twelve episodes will take place in Atlantic City, and musical showpieces will be set in the Onyx Club (modeled after the Cotton Club), to be run by Chalky White. Some of the action will also take place in Florida and Chicago. In addition to Nucky, returning major characters include Margaret Thompson (Kelly
