Cosi Fan Tutte
Directed by Claus Guth
Cosi fan tutte is an experiment designed to reveal the truth about women's supposed lack of faithfulness. This stage work – in some ways Mozart's most radical – is not so much a "School for Lovers" as a continuous dissection of hearts

Amreeka
Directed by Cherien Dabis
November 19 - 22
"Funny and playful...beautifully written and directed...made with a keen eye and a light touch, Amreeka excels at finding the warmth and humanity in a difficult situation." - Kenneth Turan, L.A. Times
Amreeka chronicles the adventures of Muna, a single mother who leaves the West Bank with Fadi, her teenage son, with dreams of an exciting future in the promised land of small town Illinois, only to end up working at the local White Castle. Told with heartfelt humor Amreeka is a universal journey into the lives of a family of immigrants and first-generation teenagers caught between their heritage and the new world in which they now live and the bittersweet search for a place to call home.

The Beaches of Anges
Directed by Agnès Varda
November 19 - 23
"For filmgoers determined to see cinema not just as mass entertainment but as an art form, 'The Beaches of Agnes' arrives like an exhilarating call to arms." - Washington Post
A reflection on art, life and the movies, The Beaches of Agnes is a magnificent new film from the great Agnes Varda, a richly cinematic self portrait that touches on everything from the feminist movement and the black panthers to the films of husband Jacques Demy and the birth of the French New Wave

Directed by Robert Wilson
Known for its dramatic power and lively orchestration, Monteverdi's Baroque masterwork has obtained a position of supreme importance in the history of opera. This new production is staged and designed by Robert Wilson, who the New York Times has described as “a towering figure in the world of experimental theater, an explorer in the uses of time and space onstageâ€; conducted by Rinaldo Alessandrini, considered a can’t miss in today’s international early music scene, starring Georg Nigl in the title role, one of his favorite’s and certainly a signature role

La Danse- Le Ballet de l'Opera de Paris
Directed by
December 18 and 19
"La Danse"...does more than offer intimate access to great dancers. It showcases performers like Nicolas Le Riche and Agnès Letestu and choreography by Rudolf Nureyev and Pina Bausch,and ventures beyond the stage and studios and into sewing rooms, cafeterias and administrative offices...it is above all a portrait of an institution. - Dennis Lim, The New York Times
The Paris Opera Ballet is one of the world's great ballet companies. The film follows the rehearsals and performances of seven ballets: Genus by Wayne McGregor, Le Songe de Medée by Angelin Preljocaj, La Maison de Bernarda by Mats Ek, Paquita by Pierre Lacotte, Casse Noisette by Rudolph Noureev, Orphée and Eurydice by Pina Bausch, and Romeo and Juliette by Sasha Waltz.
