A Queen’s Delusion and Defiance Opens the Met Season
Since arriving at the Metropolitan Opera as general manager in 2006, Peter Gelb has been angling to make the soprano Anna Netrebko a house prima donna in the old-world sense: a first among equals . On Monday night Mr. Gelb must have felt that the plan was working. To open the Met’s season, Ms. Netrebko sang the punishing title role of Donizetti’s “Anna Bolena” in the company’s first production of this breakthrough Donizetti work from 1830. The extended last scene was the high point of Ms. Netrebko’s performance as the distraught British queen (based on the historic Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII). Having been falsely condemned for betraying her husband, Anna drifts in and out of sanity. Ms. Netrebko sang an elegantly sad aria with lustrous warmth, aching vulnerability and floating high notes. When the audience broke into prolonged applause and bravos, Ms. Netrebko seemed to break character and smile a couple of times, though her look could have been taken as … [Read more...] about A Queen’s Delusion and Defiance Opens the Met Season
Discounted Frank Lloyd Wright Home in Illinois Needs a Buyer ‘With a Vision’
One of Frank Lloyd Wright 's earliest works is up for grabs, and it comes with a relatively modest $595,000 price tag. The three-bedroom, 1.5-bath space is located in Oak Park, IL , which has the country's largest concentration of homes designed by the famed architect. The property's price has dropped twice since its December 2022 listing at $770,000. The repeated markdowns could be driven by the amount of work needed to restore this vintage architectural gem. The 2,064-square-foot home was built in 1898 and currently owned by the same family for 60 years. The remarkable dwelling is situated 10 miles west of Chicago, where Wright once lived and worked. George Smith House Adorned with brown cedar shake shingles, the Arts and Crafts–style home is known as the George Smith House and is "typical of Wright’s work in the 1890s,” says John Waters , an architect and preservation programs manager for the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy . Drawings for the house … [Read more...] about Discounted Frank Lloyd Wright Home in Illinois Needs a Buyer ‘With a Vision’
Sen. Raphael Warnock Lands a New Home in DC for $1.1M
After a tightly contested Senate race, Raphael Warnock prevailed. His next stop? A new home in Washington, DC , for which he laid out $1,149,000. Warnock made history in 2020 when he became the first Black senator from Georgia, doing so in a special election that went to a runoff. He repeated the feat in 2022, beating Herschel Walker in another runoff and securing a full six-year term in Congress. His new capital digs are modest by some standards but beautifully renovated. The 1,780-square-foot townhome includes four bedrooms and 3.5 baths, arranged across about 1,780 square feet. The new owner will approach the home on freshly planted sod and grass, and then enter a luxe great room with an open floor plan. Kitchen, dining, and living spaces are combined and flow nicely to the end of the unit, where a deck and a pretty view await. At more than a century old, the row house features both charm and fresh updates. There are new stainless-steel appliances, a wine fridge, … [Read more...] about Sen.

Getting the Big Picture; The Film Industry Started Here and Left. Now It’s Back, and the State Says the Sequel Is Huge.
MERYL STREEP came to Maplewood for ''One True Thing.'' Scott Rudin brought Kevin Kline to Montclair for ''In and Out.'' Harrison Ford stalked through Newark City Hall in ''Presumed Innocent.'' Nicolas Cage and Matt Damon stormed Atlantic City for ''Snake Eyes'' and ''Rounders,'' respectively. Jim Jarmusch is in Jersey City now, for ''Ghost Day.''

Norman Jewison will be here, too, to recreate the story of the boxer Hurricane Carter. They're all filming. In gracious, leafy suburbs and glitzy casinos, in gritty urban streets and cavernous armories, the bustle of movie making is back in the state where it all started. In a West Orange laboratory a century ago, Thomas Alva Edison created the technology that put moving images on screen. His inventions spawned an industry that did much … [Read more...] about Getting the Big Picture; The Film Industry Started Here and Left. Now It’s Back, and the State Says the Sequel Is Huge.
A Fashion Designer’s Lunar New Year Feast
When the fashion designer Han Chong, 43, was growing up on the Malaysian island of Penang in the 1980s, he always looked forward to the 15 days of festivities, beginning in January or February, that signaled the start of the lunar calendar. “Those are some of my happiest memories,” he said recently, recalling how his extended family would congregate in and around his father’s store in George Town — which sold Chinese delicacies like lap cheong (cured sausage) and dried pork jerky — to gossip, cook, eat, exchange lai see (red envelopes containing money) and watch the local lion-dance troupes perform. Seeing his mother and aunts wearing their finest clothes for the occasion also piqued Chong’s interest in fashion. “I loved watching them put so much effort into dressing up,” he said. At 23, Chong moved to London to study women’s wear at Central Saint Martins; after graduating, he went on to co-found his first label, Three Floor, with Yvonne Hoang, in 2011, before leaving to launch his … [Read more...] about A Fashion Designer’s Lunar New Year Feast
