She has recently earned critical raves in the dramatic title roles of Elektra and Ariadne auf Naxos. “One of the great ovations I have heard in recent years at the Met.” --Peter Gelb, General Manager, The Metropolitan Opera

This is how musicologist Alex Ross introduces Messiaen’s “Quartet for the End of Time,” written while the composer was imprisoned in an internment camp. Premiered with the camp’s German officers seated in the first row, the quartet’s unusual instrumentation resulted from the available musicians among Messiaen’s fellow prisoners.

Led by Brazilian pianist and conductor Ricardo Castro, who founded Orchestra Projectin 2007, and featuring acclaimed French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, the program includes works by Tchaikovsky, Ravel, Revueltas, Villa-Lobos and Marquez. The New York Times wrote of pianist Thibaudet, “every note he fashions is a pearl… the joy, brilliance and musicality of his performance could not be missed.” One of today’s most sought-after soloists, Thibaudet has the rare ability to combine poetic musical sensibilities with dazzling technical prowess. In 2010, the Hollywood Bowl honored Thibaudet for his musical achievements by inducting him into the Hollywood Bowl of Fame. For this performance, UApresents is offering one free ticket for a young person under age 18 when accompanied by one paid adult.

CARMEN, SOPRANO AND FRENCH THEME HIGHLIGH BALLET TUCSON’S TUCSON DESERT SONG FESTIVAL PROGRAM

The 2 1/2-week Tucson Desert Song Festival is from January 30 to February 16, 2014 and will bring guest vocalists and conductors from across the nation to perform with the major arts organizations in Southern Arizona, including the Tucson Symphony Orchestra, the Arizona Opera, the Tucson Chamber Artists, UA Presents and Ballet Tucson.

February 15th & 16th Ballet Tucson continues its collaboration with other major arts organizations in the 2nd Annual Tucson Desert Song Festival. This year’s French theme is captured in the Ballet Tucson program, which will include George Bizet’s Carmen, and two premiers: Maurice Revel’s lush pastoral “poéme choréoraphique” Daphnis and Chloé and Dances a la Francaise to contemporary French music with live vocals by area artist Don Sheppard. Ballet Tucson’s program will be presented on February 15 and 16 at the Temple of Music and Art. Carmen was choreographed by Ballet Tucson Ballet Master Daniel Precup and will be enhanced with live music and vocals, including guest artist, mezzo-soprano Janara Kellerman. Opera lovers and critics have referred to Kellerman as “sultry”; “elegant”, “compelling”, and Opera News said she “displays a mezzo timbre velvety as the nap of a big, juicy peach”. Ms. Kellerman will sing three of the most famous arias from Carmen: the Habanera, the Seguidilla and the Cards arias. Daphnis and Chloé is a premiere for Ballet Tucson and will be reinterpreted by Mark Schneider, who has created many popular works for Ballet Tucson, including the Fall Program’s Dracula. Over a 25-year career as a ballet master and choreographer, Mr. Schneider has created ballets for companies throughout the nation and has served as Resident Choreographer for Ballet Tucson, creating original works and collaborating on Ballet Tucson’s full-length classics.

Esperero Trail (lower section) - Sabino Canyon there for a reason-find out why. Even after the rain there was not much wildlife to see out there in the dry washes this time of year, however, the vistas of the canyons and Tucson are breath taking. This is not a dog friendly hike, and I don’t recommend it for kids either, but if you enjoy a secluded desert to forest trek, this one is for you! So what are you waiting for? Get outside and take a

trek during this warm Winter season! For some virtual hikes all around Arizona, photography or to get in on some group hikes, like my Facebook page: “Take a Stroll with Niccole”. For

questions or comments email me at takeastrollwithniccole@gmail.com

This hike was perfect for a cloudy and breezy day, with little traffic as it is not one of the most popular hikes in Sabino. Esperero Trail is a slightly steep and rugged trail through the saguaros in the desert floor for the first few miles and heads up to Oak trees and grassy meadows. If you don’t plan on hiking the whole trail, go at least an hour in to catch the beauty of Geronimo meadow. I recommend this particular trek for every season except summer, unless you hit it very early in the morning. The rocky switchbacks lead you up the canyons with gorgeous city and Catalina views, the entire trail is 12.5 miles. It starts out at about 2600 feet and you can take it all the way up to bridal falls at 5300 feet and continue on from there through the firs, pine trees and dense forest. Just a few short miles in you come to a junction of many marked trails such a Cathedral Rock and rattlesnake trail. Throughout the hike you will find unmarked pathways that have been rocked off, go for it and take a few off-road trails, they are

‘Movie Critic vs Movie Reviewer’ By Stan Robinson Anyone who’s a regular reader of AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s Film! Section realizes that my reviews of movies stay away from observations like ‘the script this...’ or ‘it’s too long that...’ I wouldn’t dream of being so brazen as to walk up to the Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo da Vinci, and make a comment like ‘She should have been painted with a blue dress’! My thought is to stare into her eyes and try to figure out perhaps ‘What was she thinking’ or wonder about the ‘ambiguity of her expression, which is often described as enigmatic’. My own statement of ‘No group of filmmakers sit around and say amongst themselves, ‘OK guys, let’s just screw this up!’ speaks to the fact that for what ever reasons, and in most cases, beyond their control, the movie didn’t come together the way they wanted. But, the essence of what they wanted to say is still there. One may have to dig a little deeper to grab hold of it, but the theme is there. And that’s what I write about relating to a movie, what I came away with after watching a movie. Movie Critic vs Movie Reviewer. I identify most with the latter, having worked for over 20 years on various film projects. In the Phoenix Film Critics Society with over 25 members, only 3 of us have any type of production background. Myself in film, another member with over 25 years in television production, and a third with extensive acting credits throughout the years. I’d venture to ‘guesstimate’

BET, YOU

DIDN T KNOW! by Stan Robinson

that there’s probably only a handful of ‘movie critics’ nationwide that have actually spent any substantial time (not just a visit for a couple of hours) on a film set shooting in the blistering heat, the biting cold, or a torrential rain! I’m reminded of screening ‘March of the Penguins’ a few years ago when a guest attending with me commented at the end, ‘Those poor penguins, it’s so cold!’ My comment to her, ‘The penguins are just fine, they live there so they’re used to it, I was thinking of the film crew that was out there shooting them!’ It’s a matter of ones perspective when reviewing a movie. In the Film! Section of AZ Weekly, I do give film columnists Randy Montgomery and Joseph J. Airdo the complete autonomy to express their own views on the movies they see. They probably tire of my constant line to them of, ‘call em’ like you see em’. The bottom line is that you’ll get a very well rounded view of a movie from each of our very unique perspectives. I’m not a movie critic, will settle for movie reviewer, and prefer being called, a Film Columnist. So there, I’ve said it!

Leonardo diCaprio’s

Top Movies “Django Unchained” (2012): A stunning measure of DiCaprio’s growth is his work as a cruel plantation owner in this revisionist Western. “Inception” (2010): DiCaprio is a grounding force in director Christopher Nolan’s fantastic sci-fi drama that unfolds between dreams and reality. “Revolutionary Road” (2008): Reunited with “Titanic” leading lady Kate Winslet, DiCaprio had a much different role, an unhappy 1950s spouse. “The Aviator” (2004): Also working with Scorsese here, DiCaprio fashioned a credible portrait of the young Howard Hughes.

The original raw footage of ‘Apocalypse Now’(1979) consisted of 1,250,000 feet of film, which is over 230 hours’ worth.

The following quotes were pulled from interviews conducted by AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film columnists with talent speaking on behalf of movies recently released in theaters.

Author Joyce Maynard (‘Labor Day’)

Writer/Director Jeremy O’Keefe and Actress Jessalyn Gilsig (‘Somewhere Slow’)

By Joseph J. Airdo

By Joseph J. Airdo In “Somewhere Slow,” Jessalyn Gilsig plays a woman who gets mixed up in a convenience store robbery and makes a split-second decision to walk out of her life and into the unknown. On her travels, she meets a teenage drifter (Graham Patrick Martin) on his own journey of self-discovery.

In “Labor Day,” Kate Winslet plays a depressed, single mom who offers a wounded, fearsome man a ride. As police search town for the escaped convict, she gradually learns his true story and her options become increasingly limited. “Frank (Josh Brolin) is hiding out in a Adele’s (Kate Winslet) house over the course of a long, hot Labor Day weekend and a crucial moment in the story occurs when a neighbor stops by with some overripe peaches. Adele is just about to throw them out when Frank says, ‘I have a better idea,’ and proceeds to make a pie. It has been compared to the potter’s wheel scene in ‘Ghost.’ It is the sexiest pie scene - possibly the sexiest baking scene ever in my opinion. And it is really the moment when we see Frank, Adele and the boy Henry bonding with each other in a very moving way. “There are lots of different ways for people to experience sexual chemistry and heat and only some of them occur in bed with their clothes off. I wanted to show two people with big, powerful emotions for each other in a different way

than we normally see them. So, nobody takes off their aprons but you certainly feel the heat between those two. And I wanted to show the tenderness of this man. He is this big, tough-looking, scary-looking guy, but he also makes a good pie, which, for me, there is nothing more moving than a man who is able to be tender and gentle as well. I wanted the audience to get to know him and you get to know a person when you see that person make a pie. “I hope people leave the movie hopeful - hopeful about love and hopeful about second chances. I don’t want to give away what happens. It’s not a fairytale but it is about two people with some miles on them and some big-time losses and heartbreaks who get a second chance. And I believe in those; you’re talking to somebody who just got married for the first time after 25 years last summer at the age of 59. So if you want a big full-on love story, you’ll get one from this movie. And I’d love it if they go home and read my book. Of course, as good as the movie is, the book is always the best.” – Joyce Maynard

“There are some external things about Anna that, of course, are really troubling. She has really bad skin and I remember going to my hairdresser and saying, ‘Just give me really bad highlights.’ I wanted it to be a little stripy, like her hair has been over-processed. And, obviously, she has got these overgrown lips because she has sort of gone too far with plastic surgery and cosmetic intervention. “But, really, I think that her outward appearance is informed by how uncomfortable she is on the inside; how uncomfortable she is with herself; how awkward she is just interacting with people, being real and being fully present. So much of the story Jeremy wrote is about that journey of relaxing, trusting people and letting them in. I think that when the film opens there is a lot of love around Anna. “She has got a very attentive husband and she has got a mother and a sister who are sort of harping on her but it comes from a place of love. But she cannot receive it. She can’t even return it. I think that through her journey ... she learns to relax, to breathe, to be in the moment and to actually receive people with an open mind. So as much as there are these external things that make her unattractive and seem sort of forced and tense, I actually think that all of that comes more from the inside.” – Jessalyn Gilsig

FILM! SECTION

SOUNDBITE SPOTLIGHT

“There is this complexity within all of us. I think that what Anna feels is something that all of us feel. It is what we feel as kids and in our 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, etc. It is something that is much more universal than unique. I wrote a story that takes place over 8 days. It takes place almost in real time. So rather than having it feel like [Anna] has to take a giant leap forward, the movie is about the realization that you can make a first step to change the way you are, to grow and to be happier with yourself. “And a lot of that can be done without a lot of dialogue; with just Jessalyn’s expressiveness and the way she lives as Anna. Having someone who was so committed to the simplicity of Anna ... there is something about [Jessalyn] not trying to drive home this point about how crazy we are or how uncomfortable we are and instead sort of just going from beat to beat. So I was allowed to just watch that. I was allowed to just capture that and have that tell the story. We didn’t have to do much more on top of that. We wanted to keep it simple.” – Jeremy O’Keefe

DINE! By Jacqueline cutler

arcus Samuelsson, a chef on ABC’s “The Taste,” has such international flair, it’s hard to pinpoint his accent. Born in Ethiopia and adopted by a Swedish family, he speaks Swedish, German, English and French. Samuelsson lives in Harlem, a few blocks from his restaurant, Red Rooster. Deeply affected by 9/11, Samuelsson adjusted his menus and outlook after the attacks. “I wanted to eat things that made me feel good and warm and comforting,” he says. “That was sort of the starting point for me in that sense. That is how I looked at it. “It changed a lot of things for me,” Samuelsson continues. “Before that I did food that was high risk and very precise in its nature until moving to Harlem, where Red Rooster is all about comfort food.” Samuelsson grew up with traditional Swedish fare. The first thing he recalls making, at about age 6, was meatballs and gingersnaps with his sister and grandmother. Trained at the Culinary Institute in Gothenburg, Sweden, and having worked at many restaurants, Samuelsson says the difficult part of the Thursday show has been pulling back.

Garden-fresh food lovers can find everything from apples to zucchini at farmers’ markets in Tucson and Southern Arizona. Throughout the year, u-pick farms and open-air farmers’ markets sell seasonal vegetables, fruits, nuts, and honey as well as locally produced meats, eggs, salsas, cheeses, jellies, jams, baked goods, teas and coffees, and handmade soaps and candles. In this bountiful region, specialty items range from desert foods such as prickly pear cactus-fruit syrup and Native American heirloom beans to Mexican-style pastries.

A few miles south of Tucson, in rural towns like Willcox, Sonoita, and Amado, locavores can pick their own produce at family farms or purchase just-picked fruits and veggies from roadside stands. Some farms host special events, such as the Peach Mania Festival, the Apple Harvest Celebration, and the Fall Pumpkin Festival at Apple Annie’s, and the Garlic, Onion & Music Festival at Agua Linda Farm. Now thru July 25th 2014 Locations vary. Days and times vary with the seasons.
