Igor Stravinsky’s The Nightingale is a Russian conte lyrique based on the tale by Hans Christian Andersen. Under the direction of Robert Lepage the opera is transformed into a magical chinoiserie centered around a moonlit lake-created by filling the orchestra pit with nearly 20,000 gallons of water-and placing the musicians and chorus onstage. Floating traditional pan-Asian water puppets are manipulated by the same singers whose roles they represent, telling the tale of the ethereal nightingale who persuades Death to spare the Emperor. The program opens with Stravinsky’s satirical one-act opera-ballet The Fox, brought to life through shadow theater-an expressive and acrobatic art form drawing from Asian and African traditions. A unique selection of the composer’s Russian folk pieces is also included in this enchanting production.

When it opened in 1989, the Angelika immediately became a player in the then-booming Amerindie scene, and the six-screen cinema still puts the emphasis on edgier fare, both domestic and foreign.

Once a renowned Yiddish theater, this comfortable venue has snazz and chutzpah to spare. Intimate cinemas and excellent sound are a beautiful complement to the indie fare; here, too, is New York’s most consistently excellent midnight series.

The city’s leading tastemaking venue, Film Forum is programmed by a fest-scouring staff that takes its duties as seriously as a Kurosawa samurai. A renovation installed new seats, all the better to take in the hottest films from Cannes, Venice and beyond. Now Showing: Winner of the Palme d’Or (2010 Cannes Film Festival, jury headed by Tim Burton), UNCLE BOONMEE is a playful, surreal trip through the mind of a man at the end of his life who is contemplating reincarnation. The title character spends his final days surrounded by loved ones in the lush Thai countryside. He’s visited by the spirits of his deceased wife and long-lost son, the latter in the form of a giant monkey ghost. And trekking through the jungle to visit a remote hilltop cave, he sees his previous lives pass before him. “Mysterious, dreamlike, gentle, quiet, magical…it all has something sublime and visionary about it, with a spiritual quality I can’t remember seeing in any film recently.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian (UK)
