The next presentation by Sun Valley Opera and Broadway’s Live Simulcast Opera Performances is X: The Life and Times of Malcom X on Saturday, November 18, 2023. More information can be found at www.sunvalleyopera.com. Anthony Davis’s groundbreaking and influential opera premiered in 1986. Theater luminary and Tony-nominated director of Slave Play Robert O’Hara oversees a potent new staging that imagines Malcolm as an Everyman whose story transcends time and space. An exceptional cast of breakout artists and young Met stars enliven the operatic retelling of the civil rights leader’s life. Baritone Will Liverman, who triumphed in the Met premiere of Fire Shut Up in My Bones, sings Malcolm X, alongside soprano Leah Hawkins as his mother, Louise; mezzo-soprano Raehann Bryce-Davis as his sister Ella; bass-baritone Michael Sumuel as his brother Reginald; and tenor Victor Ryan Robertson as Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad. Kazem Abdullah conducts the newly revised score, which provides a layered, jazz-inflected setting for the esteemed writer Thulani Davis’s libretto. Doors open at 10:30am. The concession counter will be open. The production begins at 10:55am. The Magic Lantern is located at 100 East 2nd Street in Ketchum and tickets can be purchased at the door. Magic Lantern …

A Time Traveler’s Guide to Social Change
Everyone feels it: The faster pace. The divisions in society. The increasing complexity. To help us navigate the changing times with confidence and creativity, Mary Ann Allison will be presenting pictures of our journey from the past to the future. Her presentation, A Time Traveler’s Guide to Social Change, promises to be both informative and entertaining. The founding principal of the Allison Group, Mary Ann helps organizations and individuals feel—and be—powerful in times of rapid social change. Her approach combines skinned knees (real business experience) and rigorous scientific theory. Her research is peer-reviewed and field tested. Mary Ann has co-authored a murder mystery and four books on business and science, and she serves on the board of the Idaho Humanities Council. Although she is a professor emerita and has an MBA and PhD, Mary Ann believes in having fun and hopes you won’t hold her degrees against her. Space is limited, and registration is required to join this small-group workshop and discussion.

JIG: A Trinity Irish Dance Production
JIG, a Trinity Irish Dance Company (TIDC) production, is a fresh take on TIDC’s internationally-renowned, alternative approach to a traditional form. In its premiere season, JIG will redefine what is possible for Irish music and dance. Centered by a live band in a unique space, JIG will immerse audiences in an authentic experience that celebrates the power of vibrations, rhythm, and movement. Offering everything you’d expect and nothing you’d imagine, the Trinity Irish Dance Company brings a cutting-edge, integrity-filled vision to the stage. Founded in 1990 and called “Sophisticated and commanding” by the Los Angeles Times and “Impossibly complex” by The New York Times, TIDC has sold out tours in Asia and distinguished venues throughout North America, including Washington’s Kennedy Center, NYC’s Joyce Theater, and LA’s Royce Hall. A dance legacy that is rooted in tradition, yet forward-looking and ever evolving, TIDC celebrates Founding Artistic Director Mark Howard’s unique vision to fuse vibrant Irish traditions with ever-evolving American innovation, dazzling with hard-driving percussive power and aerial grace while sending a clear message of female empowerment. “A cool vibe… It stretches the limits of what Irish dance can do aesthetically and rhythmically” — Chicago Tribune
