Awesome Fest 2

Honorable Mention Collective proudly announces the second annual Awesome Fest at the Arena Theater in Point Arena, California on April 18th and 19th, 2008. Tickets are $25 for each night's event, and there is a specially priced ticket good for both nights.
The festival once again brings an eclectic assortment of independent, but nationally recognized musicians to rural Northern California.
Because last years show was such a success we have expanded this years festival to two nights.

In the age of Ticketmaster, Clear Channel, and the impersonal mega-festival, this truly independent event, organized by artists for artists, is a refreshingly rare and unique experience.

Donizetti's La Fille du Regiment

Live Streaming Opera
Saturday April 26, 9:45am to 2:00pm

"The Met's experiment of merging film with live performance has created a new art form," said the Los Angeles Times of the groundbreaking series of live, high-definition performance transmissions to movie theaters around the world. In this, the Met's second season of international HD transmissions, the Arena Theater is pleased to present three great operas live from the Met. Enjoy thrilling, world-class opera at the Arena Theater!

This week's event is Donizetti's La Fille du Regiment. Experience the exceedingly yummy operatic cake that was called the "operatic show of the season" by The Times of London when it opened at Covent Garden this past winter. Audiences were dazzled by Natalie Dessays fearless coloratura and impeccable comic timing and by Juan Diego Flrezs remarkable musicality complete with the famous high Cs. "Dessay and Flrez are an operatic coupling made in heaven" raved the Financial Times. Directed by Laurent Pelly, the production also boasts stage legend and four-time Tony Award winner Zoe Caldwell as the Duchess of Krakenthorp.

Conductor Marco Armiliato; Production Laurent Pelly; Natalie Dessay, Felicity Palmer, Juan Diego Flrez, Alessandro Corbelli, Zoe Caldwell

Broadcast begins at 10:30AM with a pre-opera broadcast beginning at 9:45AM.
Running time is 3 hours, 10 minutes. There will be 1 intermission.
