<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #500050;"><span style="color: black;">Opera Lafayette celebrated the New York opening of <i>Leonore</i> with a champagne toast on stage for both donors and the cast at The Kaye Playhouse on March 2nd. Board co-chairs Dorsey C. Dunn and Nizam P. Kettaneh raised a glass to toast the remarkable production which the NY Times called “Fresh and sweet".</span></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.65pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Beethoven wrote only one opera, known today as <i>Fidelio</i>; <i>Leonore</i> is
its earliest version. Opera Lafayette’s orchestra played period
instruments and, as is typical of their efforts, offered Beethoven’s
music as it was performed in his day. Musicologist Will Crutchfield, who
was charged with reimaging a never-before-heard aria based on surviving
texts from Beethoven, was given much deserved praise for his work
reconstructing the lost music. The orchestra was conducted by Ryan Brown, the company’s Artistic Director. Soprano Nathalie Paulin, tenor Jean-Michele Richer and soprano Pascale Beaudin received a standing ovation for their performances.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.65pt; text-align: center;">

modern premiere will adapt the story to the late 19th-century American
West and integrating American folk songs into the plot where French folk
songs were originally sung. Audience participation encouraged.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">A new <i>Giselle</i>, by <a href="http://www.joshuabeamish.com/" target="_blank">Joshua Beamish/MOVETHECOMPANY</a>,
was screened at The Bruno Walter Auditorium in Lincoln Center, New York
City on January 14, 2020. A modern take on the beloved classic; where
dating apps, Snapchat, and Instagram, reinterpret love, sex, and
relationships. Titled <i>@<wbr></wbr>giselle </i>it stars ABT's Catherine Hurlin in the title role and Betsy McBride as Bathilde, Pennsylvania Ballet's Sterling Baca as Hilarion, and National Ballet of Canada's Harrison James
as Albrecht. The production uses motion-captured digital projections
and visual effects to reflect the digital world we live in. Commissioned
by TO Live, Joshua Beamish/MOVETHECOMPANY premiered @giselle at the
Vancouver Playhouse in September 2019. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">"The ballet <i>Giselle</i> is one of the most profound constructions of the classical canon.” said Joshua Beamish
as he introduced the show. “I want the original work to exist within
our production as its own ghost - a ghost from another time. Traditional
romance is evaporating. The internet is threatening our ability to
value individuals. <i>@giselle </i>shows the evolved hysteria born from
unanswered texts, likes, and story views. In today's media saturated
environment, is Giselle's descent into "madness" really so shocking? I
hope audiences will relate to Giselle's journey and see themselves in
the plights, struggles, and joys of the varying characters and their
social interactions."</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"> </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hurlin,
McBride, and Baca joined Beamish on stage after the screening to share
the creative process. McBride praised Beamish's hyper-detailed
choreography that brought “classical steps into a new light.” The Willis
all had their own digital shadow dancing alongside and Hurlin shared
that she danced each one in a motion-capturing suit to give the
realistic illusion of doubling the number of Willis on stage. Baca noted
how Beamish brought a tale as old as time into present-day and quoted
his former ABT Director, Kevin McKenzie, "art is an expression of the times in which we live". </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A beautiful winter’s spell seemed to have been cast over <span>Segerstrom</span> Center
for the Arts, creating a magical setting for its 46th Candlelight
Concert. More than 400 guests gathered on Friday, December 6,
contributing more than $2.79 million to support the Center’s array of
stellar entertainment, artistic, education and community engagement
programs including American Ballet Theatre William J. Gillespie School
and the School of Dance and Music for Children with Disabilities. Mother
and daughter, Marta Bhathal and Lisa Bhathal Merage chaired. It was
also the first time for many long-time donors and supporters to meet the
Center’s new president Casey Reitz and his wife Naomi. They arrived in
Orange County just a few days before from their home in New York, where
Reitz had been president and CEO of Second Stage Theater.</div>

with us today. I can't imagine a better birthday present than this
music." Alice, a longtime patron of The Athenians, reminded friends of

Guests included Stephen Fang, Silvia Frieser (director of the NY

The <a href="https://w7makeup.com/collections/eyeshadows/products/goldibox" target="_blank">GOLDIBOX</a> is a functional palette that is great for everyday use. It has 12 shades, including shimmers and mattes, and range from "pinky nudes and nude coppers to brown, natural shades" as described by the company. I've worn this palette just about everywhere including work, evening cocktails, and to run errands on a Sunday. The wear time and quality are pretty good, and the colors make it easy to turn a natural day look and into a smoky going out look. </div>

This is a fun palette that will get you out of your comfort zone. There are 7 mattes (top row), complimented by 7 shimmers (bottom row).

I am OBSESSED with W7's <a href="https://w7makeup.com/collections/eyeshadows/products/starry-eyes-metallic-jelly-eyeshadow-whats-your-sign" target="_blank">Starry Eyes Metallic Jelly Eye shadows</a> , especially the shade <a href="https://w7makeup.com/collections/eyeshadows/products/starry-eyes-metallic-jelly-eyeshadow-whats-your-sign" target="_blank"> "What's Your Sign?"</a>. I get compliments ever time I wear it. The color is a pinky/nude that gives a natural, fresh faced appearance, and looks pretty when coupled with the right nudes. I apply two coats with a brush, although you could probably get away with one. These have awesome staying power, and are easy to remove. They're lightweight and don't flake off like, or have that papery feeling like other metallics. </div>

Their <a href="https://w7makeup.com/collections/setting-spray/products/ready-set-glow-rose-gold" target="_blank">Ready Set Glow Rose Gold Setting Spray </a>is by far one of my favorite setting sprays out there. I started using it over the summer and it did a great job of keeping my makeup from sweating off. There's a few things I like about this one, aside from it's effectiveness. It dispenses as a refreshing mist, so I feel like it hits my face evenly and gets me better coverage, then the ones that dispense more like a spray with sort of spotty coverage. I also love that it has delicate gold shimmers that add a subtle glow without becoming clumpy, or disturbing my make up. Lastly, the scent. OMG the scent! It's so delicious. I can't quite pin point it, but to me it smells like a combination of caramel, and sweet florals. It's currently sold out on the company's website, so I recommend jumping on it once it's available! </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Viennese Opera
Ball announced their upcoming gala at the Upper East Side residence of
Sabine Riglos, a board member. “The Viennese Opera Ball is one of the
highlights of the annual charity season for Austrian Americans, with
performances by extraordinary opera singers and musicans” explained
artistic director Daniel Serafin as he introduced mezzo soprano Nicole
Piccolomini, who sing “L'amour est un oiseau rebelle” from Carmen. "
Juilliard violinist Anastasiia Mazurok also performed a solo by Bach.
All providing a taste of what's to come at the 65th Viennese Opera
Ball. Silvia Frieser, president and executive director said, "With it's
long-standing tradition of 65 consecutive years, the Viennese Opera
Ball demonstrates that the ballroom and the dance floor is the best
platform for cultural exchange between distinguished guests and
nations." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Each year, the Ball supports charitable projects connected to New York
and Vienna. This year proceeds will benefit the musical therapy program
at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center through Gabrielle's Angel
Foundation for Cancer Research. Their CEO, Jen Raniri, and Associate
Director of Development, Michele Keene, also shared a few words about
the importance of the program.<br /><br />Among the guests were Nathan Lee
Graham, who will emcee the upcoming Ball, Chair Jean Shafiroff (who will
be joined at the Ball by Chairs Denise Rich and Elisabeth Muhr), Host
Committee members Janna Bullock, Joanna Fisher, Ana Saucedo, and Marisa
Rose van Bokhorst, Junior Chairs Colgate Rumbough and Emily Mohr, and
Board Member Stefan Oehner as well as Audra Asencio, Leszek

Michael Friedl, Franz Gerhardter, Eric Huebscher, and Catherine Leung.<br /><br />The
65th Viennese Opera Ball will take place on February 7, 2020. There is
nothing like this in America with traditions that could only come from
the oldest Royal houses in Austria and Europe. Just like in Europe, the
celebration with both music and dance, with a Midnight Quadrille that
enlivens the dance floor until 4am. The Viennese Opera Ball is inspired
by the famous Vienna Opera Ball in Austria, but it is an American 501
(c)(3) not for profit association.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "garamond" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;">The
National Institute of Social Sciences (NISS) hosted a cocktail party at
the home of Yanna Avis in honor of Metropolitan Opera general manager
Peter Gelb, who will be honored at the organization's 105th Gold Medal
Dinner this December. At 7:00PM sharp, Fred Larsen, President of NISS,
with his wife Michele at his side, said, "We honor those individuals who
made distinguished contributions to humanity and society. We thank
Peter Gelb, who made time during his workday to join us, and who has to
run off and supervise a production of <i>Orfeo</i>." Replied Gelb, "If I
was chosen for this distinguished award because of my position at the
Met, I guess the study of social sciences certainly would apply to the
Metropolitan Opera House. We have more than 3,000 people who work there
and they certainly exhibit every form of behavioral science. Sometimes I
feel like I work in some kind of social science laboratory. Maybe that
wasn't why you decided to give me this award, but I am very grateful to
be receiving it."</span></div>

she opined, "The Seine is the most romantic river in the world. She
encourages us to dream, to linger, to fall in love, or to at least
fantasize that falling in love is possible." Audience members who won

Seine. In closing, French Heritage <wbr></wbr>Society's Chairman, Elizabeth
Stribling, a longtime friend of Elaine’s, shared, “I see young lovers
from my Paris apartment window overlooking the Seine. I see old lovers,
too. In Paris, there are a lot of old people just as amorous as the
young ones. It's one of the things I love most about the river. Elaine,
I love you, too!"</span></span></div>

things are naturally attracted to each other. It's only natural that

and artistic director of <a href="https://yagp.org/" target="_blank">YAGP</a>. The hostess, noted
for her champagne-inspired gold and silver jewelry, lived up to her
reputation with cases of bubbly on hand as well as mini-knishes from
Lower East Side baker Yonah Schimmel. “For the past 20 years Youth
American Grand Prix," Gordeev continued, "has made it it's business to
travel the world, find the most talented young people we could possibly
find all over the planet and make it, help them get to the companies
like the Mariinsky and mare than 30 other companies around the world
where Youth America Grand Prix dancers are dancing at the world's
largest scholarship audition." </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After my last haircut at Ouidad, I decided that this summer I would go full force with my curls. That meant no pony tails and no clips. Just my natural curls, and whatever products it would take to manage them for the next few months. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why you ask? Simple. My stylist schooled me about the dangers of pony tails and how they ultimately destroy your hair. Given my recent scare, where my hair mysteriously started to thin, (which was later determined to be the result of my lack of meat consumption), I took this lesson very seriously. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This summer my bathroom saw in influx of curl creams, gels, lotions, oils, you name it. Some worked, and some worked better. So I decided to pick my favorites and create a list to share with my fellow curly haired lovelies. Scroll down to see which ones made the cut! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<a href="https://novexhaircare.com/" target="_blank">novex </a>is a Brazilian brand designed especially for curly hair, which I've been using for a couple of years now. I love these shampoos because they don't dry out my hair, and the added keratin attacks any frizz. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I prefer to wash my hair at night and then re- wet it in the morning. I do so with Curly Hair Solutions <a href="https://shop.naturallycurly.com/curly-hair-solutions-h20-water-bottle/" target="_blank">H2O The Best Water Bottle for Fabulous Curls</a>. It sounds silly but this isn't your average water bottle. It's designed to provide a "continuous" mist that covers a larger area of curls, and allows you to wet your hair faster and more evenly. I have long hair so this definitely saves me time, and it's pretty durable. </div>

Curly Hair Solutions' <a href="https://shop.naturallycurly.com/curly-hair-solutions-curl-keeper-original-3-4-oz/" target="_blank">Original Total Control for Frizzy Hair</a>, paired with the <a href="https://shop.naturallycurly.com/curly-hair-solutions-curl-keeper-styling-cream-8-oz/" target="_blank">Tames Textured Hair Styling Cream</a> work amazingly for me. The Total Control has a water-like consistency that I brush throughout my hair. It helps minimize frizz, and doesn't weigh my hair down. The Styling Cream has a thicker consistency that locks my curls in place and still manages to keep them soft. No 90's wet look here! (Spoiler alert; NONE of these products leave me with hard, crunchy curls. Finally!) </div>

<a href="https://www.originalmineral.com/products-page/style-guru/" target="_blank">O&M Styling Guru</a> is an absolute must have. It not only keeps my curls soft and manageable, but it smells amazing! I like this one a lot because the texture is quite thin. It allows for volume and definition, yet still has enough strength to keep my curls under control. It comes in a pump too so it's also easy to apply and distribute. </div>

A 2019 Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner, it is infused with coconut milk and white jasmine, and smells incredible. The unique bottle is powered by air, and dispenses a delicate mist. After applying any gel/cream, I spritz this on the top of my head as the finishing touch. It keeps fly aways at bay and makes it easy to put any stragglers back in place. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Undoubtedly, these two have been my go-tos throughout the summer (as you can see from the empty <a href="https://www.ouidad.com/shop/by-product-type/styling/mongongo-oil-96402.html" target="_blank">Mongongo Oil </a> bottle, and near empty gel bottle :) After learning about the havoc Moroccan oil reeks on hair (weighs it down, and basically eats away at it, in case you didn't know), I ditched anything with it on the label. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I replaced it with Mongongo Oil. It contains Vitamin E which is helpful for repairing split end. Plus, Mongongo actually washes out when I shampoo, while the Moroccan Oil didn't. Scary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.ouidad.com/shop/by-product-type/styling/advanced-climate-control-heat-and-humidity-gel.html" target="_blank">The Heat & Humidity Gel</a> <b>is my favorite gel to date.</b> It's everything I could want and more; lightweight, good control and hold, minimal frizz, easy to apply, a small amount goes a long way, creates definition, and keeps my curls s.o.f.t. It has a thin consistency for a gel, and still manages to get the job done better then the heavier ones I've tried. Curly girls, you will love this one. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, once my curls have dried, I finish them off with a few drops of the <a href="https://www.ouidad.com/shop/by-product-type/styling/shine-glaze-serum.html" target="_blank">Shine Glaze Serum</a>. It provides some added softness and extra protection against frizz. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last month W7 Cosmetics hosted a celebratory party to announce it's newest brand ambassador, YouTube sensation, 14 year old Reuben de Maid. Press got front row seats to watch the uber talented 14 year old make up artist in action, as well as check out products from the brand. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://w7makeup.com/#incoming">W7 Cosmetics </a>is a wildly popular brand in the UK that is slowly (and thankfully!) making it's way to the US. Turns out, W7 offers just about every product known to man for super affordable prices, and impressive quality. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The brand has an incredible selection of products that range from eye
shadow palettes and primers, to lash curlers, foundations, lipsticks,
bronzers and brushes. Guests were treated to make up trials and got to
experience the great quality first hand. My favorite one that the MUA used was definitely the
eye shadow palette <a href="https://w7makeup.com/collections/eyeshadows/products/lifes-a-peach">Life's a Peach</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Currently the brand is available mostly on line, but you can also find them in select stores like Century 21, and Walmart. In the meantime, you can shop them <a href="https://w7makeup.com/#incoming">here.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
P.S. W7 is currently running a pretty sweet sale :p </div>

and with the Lang Lang International Music Foundation, we strive to
achieve this every day", declared ceo Leszek Barwinski-Brown, as he

to the program, "My wife, Gina Alice, and I send our love and support
. You’ll forgive us for not being there as were on our honeymoon in
China.”</div>
