  • Cleveland POPS Brings in the New Year with Melinda Doolittle at Severance Hall (Dec
    Cleveland POPS brings in the New Year with Melinda Doolittle at Severance Hall (Dec. 31) by Mario Buchanan, Special to ClevelandClassical.com ​ On December 31 the Cleveland Pops Orchestra, under the direction of Carl Topilow, performed their annual New Year’s Eve concert at Severance Hall. Above the partygoers’ heads in the Grand Foyer were two nets filled with blue and white balloons waiting to welcome the new year, and attendees were required to grab a party horn from the table for the concert. In the auditorium, “2017” was spelled out with balloons above the stage. Clearly, this was going to be a night to remember. As Topilow came on stage, the lights dimmed and all that could be seen were stand lights and the first three digits of ‘2017’ lit up. The concert started with two famous “crowd-warming” tunes: the opening of Richard Strauss’ Thus Sprach Zarathustra, ​ ​ which segued into “O Fortuna” from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana — a rather interesting ​ ​ way to start the evening. Then Melinda Doolittle, the guest vocalist for the occasion, greeted the audience, wearing a gorgeous, elegant dress and immediately stunning the crowd with her beautiful, wide-ranging voice. By her own admission, Doolittle was tone deaf as a child, but determined to prove herself, she eventually earned a bachelor’s in music. She became famous while competing on American Idol, where Simon Cowell called her his ​ ​ “personal favorite.” Since then, Doolittle has performed all over the nation. The vocalist described her song selections as being like her personality: “romance and sass.” She sang some old, romantic classics, including Don’t Get Around Much ​ Anymore, Home from “The Wiz”, and Over the Rainbow.

  • Production Notes
    PRODUCTION NOTES “This town – it’s all secrets. Everyone knows something you don’t” 1 The Town is a three-part contemporary drama from Big Talk Productions starring BAFTA winner Andrew Scott alongside an outstanding ensemble cast including Julia McKenzie, Charlotte Riley, Gerard Kearns, Kelly Adams and Martin Clunes. The first television series by Laurence Olivier award-winning playwright Mike Bartlett, The Town follows a shocking incident within an otherwise normal family. Mark Nicholas (Scott) returns to the town where he grew up to find his grandmother Betty (McKenzie) is now living in his childhood bedroom and he barely knows his teenage sister Jodie (Avigail Tlalim). Mark is drawn back into the life he left behind. Hardest of all is meeting his first love Alice (Riley), now married with a child. Thrust into the complicated lives of his former neighbours, it’s not surprising there are awkward moments as Mark becomes reacquainted with his past, including his old friends ‘down the pub’ Lucy (Kelly Adams), Carly (Aisling Bea) and Jeff (Sam Troughton). Running parallel with Mark’s story, we get to know the town Mayor, alcohol-soaked Len (Clunes). With his world falling in around him, Len is stumbling from one PR disaster to another. As we get to know the community, we’re also introduced to the enigmatic Inspector Franks (Douglas Hodge) from the local police force whose links to the family are stronger than it first appears... Mark struggles to decide whether he should stay permanently to be with his family. But a new life is difficult to build in the place you used to call home and now feels like you barely know it.

    Highlights | December 2011 For further information and images, please contact: UK: Nick Myles Editorial Coordinator BBC Worldwide Channels E-mail: [email protected] Tel.: +44 20 8433 2000 Produced by EBS New Media www.ebs.tv + 44 1462 895 999 Editorial Manager: Paul Talbot [email protected] December 2011 Highlights Who is Kurt Wallander? Monday 5 December at 21.30 Presented by British crime writer John Harvey, this film looks at the publishing phenomenon that is best-selling author Henning Mankell. Following Mankell as he divides his time between Sweden and the Mozambique capital of Maputo where he lives with his wife, the film looks at his work and his beliefs. Kurt Wallander is very different to traditional tough-guy cops. He responds to danger with stooped shoulders and an overwhelming sense that it‟s more than he can handle. But there is more to Mankell‟s work than police procedurals. Mankell explains how he‟s been writing to „unmask‟ society. He uses Wallander to express his views on all the traumatic topics which give rise to the New Right populism: the flow of illegal immigrants, soaring crime and violence, growing unemployment and social insecurity. Mankell sees himself as a man on a crusade to focus on © BBC those who remain in the shadows, on desperate lost existences, on the long and painful decay of the Swedish cradle to grave welfare state. Featuring a visit to Skane in southern Sweden – the home of the fictional character – this film talks to the most recent actor to play Wallander, Kenneth Branagh and includes interviews with American crime novelist Jeffrey Deaver and Swedish agitator Jan Guillou.
