Berkeley Chamber Opera presents Puccini's Manon on Jan. 11 and Jan. 13
If you like to experience genuine opera up close and personal, the Berkeley Chamber Opera production of Puccini¡¯s?Manon Lescaut, at Berkeley¡¯s Hillside Club on January 11 and 13, is your opportunity.?? If your only exposure to opera has been recordings, videos in movie theaters, or cavernous auditoriums like the San Francisco War Memorial Opera house, you¡¯re in for a revelation.
The BCO, a non-profit, presents locally-sourced professional casts singing with a chamber orchestra in a human-scale venue evocative of the many intimate opera houses in Italy.? This is their sixth fully costumed and staged production, the last five mounted at the historic wood-paneled club.
Conductor Jonathan Khuner is a veteran of many operas, including several for BCO.? The title role will be sung by Bay Area soprano Eliza O¡¯Malley, whose last BCO role was Joan of Arc in Verdi¡¯s Giovanna D¡¯Arco, which Khuner also conducted.? The stage director is Lisa? Houston.? All three, as it happens, are Berkeley High School graduates who have gone on to regional, national and international careers.? Many of the cast and chorus are also local residents.
When?Manon Lescaut?opened in London, critic George Bernard Shaw wrote that?¡°Puccini seems to me more like the heir of?Verdi?than any of his rivals.¡±? Later commentators have opined that that the opera, Puccini¡¯s first big success, has Romantic underpinnings with Verismo tendencies and Wagnerian harmonic influences.? Wherever it came from, the music is lush and the libretto gripping.
The story comes from a wildly popular book by French novelist Antoine??±Ê°ù¨¦±¹´Ç²õ³Ù?which was also the basis for Massenet¡¯s?Manon.?The heroine is a kept woman who falls in love with a student¡ªand it¡¯s all downhill from there, in dramatic terms worthy of a telenovela, with sound track to match. You won't want to miss this one.

Perhaps in the end, humanity will survive, thrive, and evolve to something more human.

| | Central Works: "riveting, raw, and relevant... theater in your lap!" -East Bay Express? |
|
Dear friends and patrons, ?
?
We'd like to wish you a happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful new year (which may be a lot easier said then done in these rather harrowing times)! You are likely being inundated with appeals for donations and support just now; everyone needs your support and so many deserve it. We'd be grateful if you'd take a moment to remember us in your final year-end giving. ?
?
Central Works is entering it's 29th season. Making award-winning theater is tough. Paying artists fair wages is tougher still. Developing and producing all new works is the toughest challenge of all (we'll close this season with world premiere #65)! But we'll keep at it as long as you keep coming. That's why we're sending this gentle reminder that we cannot do what we do without you - so please do what you can.?
?
2019 at Central Works will be full of comedy, politics, literature, mystery, politics, comedy, mystery and literature. And politics.? You don't want to miss it. Have a great new year; we can't wait to see you at the theater in 2019 for another momentous year of creation and entertainment!?
?
With our sincere thanks for all your support,? Jan & Gary ?

At we believe the arts are essential to any prosperous and truly democratic society. Especially in a state as diverse and culturally rich as California, the arts serve to give voice to our many communities, spark individual creativity, foster empathy and understanding, spur civic engagement and serve as a continual source of personal enrichment, inspiration and growth.
Our Vision and Purpose:
Building a sustainable and vibrant California using creativity
as the driver for social change and wellness.
- Increase Arts Funding to Historic Levels
- Make Arts Accessible for All Californians
- Campaign for California to be the leading State of Creativity
- Strategize Policy Development?
- Demonstrate Solutions to Socioeconomic Issues such as Artists as Second Responders, Arts & Corrections, Veterans, Neighborhood Revitalization, Health and Wellness
- Valuing the Sector with Equitable Pay and Cultural Equity
In the past 5 years, we¡¯ve helped increase arts funding by 800%. That¡¯s a lot but we are still only spending $ .68 cents per person and we rank 28th per capita in the U.S. and every year we need to prove to legislators that the arts and creative sectors are critical to California¡¯s identity and success.
-
Do you believe arts and culture being accessible for every Californian is imperative??
-
Do you feel California should be the leading creative state??
-
Do you think arts and artists can play a vital role in solving some of California¡¯s greatest challenges??
-
Do you want to see funding to match these goals??
Then it is time to support Californians for the Arts your statewide arts advocacy organization.
Please donate today or make a donation in memory of a family member or friend.
Together we can make California the leading state of creativity.

Richmond Art Center's Winter Exhibitions
The Richmond Art Center will present three new exhibitions, opening January 15, 2019.
Announcing Richmond Art Center's Winter Exhibitions
[Richmond, CA] ¨C December 12, 2018 ¨C The Richmond Art Center will present three new exhibitions, opening January 15, 2019: , , and .
--
Main and West Galleries
Exhibition Dates: January 15 - March 8, 2019
Reception: Saturday, February 2, 2:00 - 5:00 pm
As the longest running event of its kind in the Bay Area to feature artists of African descent, The 23rd Annual Art of Living Black will present an exhibition at the Richmond Art Center, as well as Open Studios and Satellite Exhibitions at locations across the Bay Area.
 The Art of Living Black was founded in 1997 by the late sculptor Jan Hart-Schuyers and the late painter Rae Louise Hayward after their realization that black artists were not being represented by galleries in any significant way. As Hart-Schuyers said at the time, ¡°We¡¯re just a group of artists that share the same dream. We¡¯ve decided to do something about it.¡± And they did. Since its founding 23 years ago, The Art of Living Black has featured hundreds of emerging and established artists; showcasing their work, introducing them to new patrons and audiences, and building a creative community of artists and art lovers.

Featuring work by both established and emerging enamelists, Place as Landscape/Place as Concept brings together enamel arts that explore place and landscape from an American perspective. In the United States, where the sheer size of the country  has created an incredible diversity of landscape, concepts of place are intimately connected to identity and culture. The works in this exhibition use a range of traditional and experimental enameling techniques to explore place not just as scenery but as as a way of understanding who we are. This exhibition expands upon the American showcase presented at BLAZE: International Contemporary Enamel Exhibition at the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute in Taipei (2017-2018).? Featured Artists: Ken Bova, Harlan Butt, Katy Cassell, Kat Cole, Helen Elliott, Danielle Embry, Greg Flint, Kristina Glick, Gretchen Goss, Janly Jaggard, Sarah Loch-Test, Sharon Massey, Cynthia Miller, Pat Musick, Gail Reid, Rene Roberts, Averill Shepps, Jan Smith, Judy Stone, Don Viehman, Carly Wright

 In August 2018 the Richmond Art Center and Social Justice Sewing Academy (SJSA) partnered to run a workshop at the Latina Center in Richmond, CA. Women from the Latina Center¡¯s leadership program came together to learn how to visualize social justice issues to design fabric squares that express ideas relevant to themselves and their community. The multiple squares were then embroidered, pieced and sewn together to create a quilt that amplifies the impact and energy of the individual messages within it.
Empowering Threads brings together recent SJSA quilts made in workshops held across America, including quilts by women at the Latina Center and youth from Richmond High School.Featured Artists and Community Groups: Cambridge School of Weston, Carina Cabriales, Mailan Carr, Chloe Gorski, The Latina Center, Laura Madriz, Yaneli Martinez, Bryan Robinson, Alonso Saenz, Juan Tapia, Yosief Teckle, Alysia Thach, Jamia Williams

About the Richmond Art Center: The Richmond Art Center is the largest visual arts center in the East Bay, delivering exciting arts experiences to young and old alike who reflect the diverse richness of our community. The Art Center features hands-on learning, well-equipped studios, Art in the Community programs and contemporary exhibitions in its galleries.
Every year, the Richmond Art Center serves thousands of students through classes and programs taught by professional artists, both onsite at the Art Center and at sites throughout Richmond. The Art Center¡¯s four galleries mount rotating exhibitions that display the works of emerging and established Bay Area artists. Artists such as Richard Diebenkorn, Richard Misrach, Wanxin Zhang, Mildred Howard, Bella Feldman, Hung Liu, William Wiley, June Schwartz, and David Park have been showcased here.
The Richmond Art Center originated in 1936, when local artist Hazel Salmi, who worked for the WPA, traversed the streets of Richmond with a suitcase packed with art supplies, eager to teach art to anyone interested. Today, everything at the Art Center continues to breathe life into Salmi¡¯s original vision: That within every person lives an artist.
