RUGBY H20 Continued from page 1 at a pool. Like many of his teammates, Katrak was a former competitive swimmer in his school days who just happened to be searching for a new sport. As the sun was setting on Tuesday, May 30, about a dozen team members arrived at the Rengstorff Park pool for their twice-a-week practice session. Normally, the team practices at Eagle Park Pool, which they say is deeper and better suited for the sport, but it was closed that day due to a faulty pump. The team chose Mountain View for most of its practices mainly because the city has the best pool facilities available in the area. The club was a motley group — about 10 barrel-chested men and two athletic women, rang- ing in age from 20s to 50s. Many members were foreign-born and living in the Bay Area due to jobs in the tech industry. Watching the group was a pair of teenage lifeguards who seemed a little outmatched by the brawny swimmers.

June 2, 2017 Q Mountain View Voice Q MountainViewOnline.com Q 17 A + E West Bay Opera’s ‘Salome’ a daring success

By Renee Batti

est Bay Opera is ending its 61st season Wwith guns blazing — both literally (more on that later) and figuratively — aiming, with great success, for a production of Richard Strauss’ “Salome” that meets high artistic standards while commenting on grave problems and perils in today’s world. Opening last Friday in the Lucie Stern Theatre, with two more performances next weekend, “Salome” is a retelling of the biblical story in which John the Baptist meets his end in the court of King Herod. The opera’s libretto is a German translation of the 19th-century Oscar Wilde play of the same name — a play that highlighted the lust and debauchery of Salome and her stepfather, the king. This production is set, in the words of the opera company, in “a post-Trumpian dystopia”; the characters roam a stage designed as a desolate encampment where the royal family, its servants and soldiers are gathered after COURTESY OTAK JUMP/WEST BAY OPERA a nuclear blast.
