Are You Apt to Defend or Bend the Law? Take the Opera Carolina quiz and find out

I

f you were a fan of the cat-and-mouse game Miss Kitty played with Marshal Dillon on “Gunsmoke,” you don't want to miss Puccini's The Girl of the West at Belk Theater at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center in April. In Puccini's version, it's the titular girl – Minnie, a gutsy, guntoting saloon owner – who saves the day.

Puccini didn't just create an operatic take on the great American Western; he created a feminist hero.

Pull up a bar stool and take our quiz to find out which character you'd be – the bandit, Dick Johnson or Sheriff Jack Rance, the good guy in the white cowboy hat.

Visit operacarolina.org or call 704-3721000 for tickets to Puccini’s The Girl of the West, a bona fide Western (opera) with a big heart.

Opera Carolina Quiz 4. In the 1977 movie, Smokey and the Bandit, which character do you relate to?

1. Pick a weapon.

A. Revolver B. Rifle 2. What is your card game of choice?

A. Solitaire B. Poker

A. Smokey B. Bandit 5. When you enter the bar, what do you order?

3. If someone tells you where to find gold, do you ...

A. Water B. Whiskey, neat

A. Find it and turn it in B. Steal it for yourself If you circled mostly A’s, you’re a law-and-order sheriff. If you circled mostly B’s, you’re a bandit staying one step ahead of the law. (And this town ain’t big enough for the both of you.)

Choreographer Sasha Janes, right, in rehearsal for Charlotte Ballet's Wuthering Heights.

Wuthering Heights Adapted to a Ballet

W

uthering Heights, Emily Bronte’s literary masterpiece, is a passionate story of love and revenge boldly adapted into a ballet

by Charlotte Ballet Associate Artistic Director Sasha Janes.

Called “king of the pas de deux,” Janes has a reputation for creating ballets that leave the audience as breathless as the dancers. Charlotte Ballet premieres Wuthering Heights this April in Knight Theater.

3 Things to Know About Wuthering Heights It's a Family Affair Janes’ mother, Jennifer Janes, is joining him to design the costumes for Wuthering Heights. The pair has worked together on ballets before, including Dangerous Liaisons, Glass Houses and Carmen.

A Bad Romance Wuthering Heights tells the story of the unfortunate lovers Heathcliff and Catherine who, despite a deep affection for one another, are forced to live apart by circumstance and prejudice. “Many

consider Wuthering Heights a story of romance, but it’s so dynamic,” said Janes. “Using ballet to tell the story of the complicated characters and themes is a unique but exciting challenge.”

There’s a Bonus Wuthering Heights opens with a performance of contemporary choreographer Alonzo King’s MAP, the first ballet retiring Artistic Director Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux commissioned for the company 20 years ago.

The Square at Spirit Square

Sounds to Fill the Square This Summer

S

ummertime is about to burst into sound with the first annual Sounds on the Square Series.

On Friday nights from May through August, everyone is invited for a free musical mélange outside the 7th Street entrance to Spirit Square (facing College Street). Enjoy the summer night air and the performances of local singers and musicians as Blumenthal Performing Arts presents some of the best talent in the Charlotte area, and more.

Featured talent includes winners of the Loonis McGlohon Jazz Competition, Blumey Awards winners and nominees, and the spirited musicians of Girls Rock Charlotte.

“We always try to create opportunity for our youth – campers and young volunteers – to feel the pride, camaraderie and joy that you get when you work together as a band to rock a stage and an audience,” says Kelly Finley,

founder and executive director of Girls Rock Charlotte. The organization, whose mission is to amplify the confidence of girls and gender diverse youth through the power of music, holds its summer camps at Blumenthal. “When we were making plans with them for 2017, they mentioned this new opportunity of Sounds on the Square," says Finley, "so we said ‘Yes!’…. We love the idea of celebrating our campers and volunteers in this amazing venue” Other musical events will include a Hamilton sing-a-long (just you wait!) and two outdoor movie nights. Sounds on the Square events will be held every Friday night from 7-8:30 p.m., May 5-Aug. 25, rain or shine. Should the weather turn gloomy, the musical merriment will be moved inside Spirit Square. Feel free to bring chairs and a picnic – or purchase food and drinks onsite – and enjoy some superb summer Sounds on the Square!

Sounds on the Square Fridays, May 5-Aug. 25 • 7-8:30 p.m. • Square at Spirit Square 704.372.1000 • BlumenthalArts.org 22

Spot the Differences Hit Musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch to Play in April

B

rilliantly innovative, heartbreaking and wickedly funny, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is the landmark musical by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask that is “groundbreaking and ahead of its time” (Entertainment Weekly). This genre-bending, fourth-wallsmashing musical sensation, with a pulsing score and electrifying performances, tells the story of one of the most unique characters to ever hit the stage. It’s about finding your other half; it’s the story of the origin of love.

Directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening, American Idiot) and starring Tony and Olivier award nominee Euan Morton, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is the winner of four 2014 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival.

It played to record-breaking sellout crowds on Broadway and promises to take Charlotte by storm with what Rolling Stone proclaims is “the best rock musical ever!”

In honor of the show’s appearance in Charlotte next month, see if you can spot the three differences in the images at right! (Answers below.)
