World-Renowned Gesher Theater's Enemies, A Love Story: U.S. Premiere
- Full Price:
- $135.00
- Our Price:
- $67.50
Israel's Gesher Theatre, one of the leading international theater companies, returns to New York City for a limited engagement after its sensational multiple appearances at the Lincoln Center Festival, with the U.S. premiere of Enemies, A Love Story. Nobel Prize-winner Isaac Bashevis Singer's darkly comic novel comes to the stage in a new adaptation, courtesy of Gesher founder Yevgeny Arye. Performed in Hebrew with individual English and Russian in-ear translation, the play centers on a Holocaust survivor in 1949 New York who somehow finds himself married to three women at the same time. Enemies, A Love Story was also made into a 1989 film by Paul Mazursky starring Ron Silver, Anjelica Huston and Lena Olin, which was nominated for three Academy Awards. This production appears as part of the Cherry Orchard Festival, and is dedicated to the 65th anniversary of the state of Israel. Learn More

Written on Dec 01 2010This was a really wonderful event. The space itself is amazing and really lends itself to one of the best jazz settings I have been to thus far. Tha band was awesome and the lead singer was really something as well. Can't wait for my next event - going to the Allen Room this time!

Written on Nov 09 2010Excellent concert by talented musicians. Seats were in a great section. All the way off to the side, but very good view nevertheless.

Written on Nov 09 2010Excellent venue, beautiful music, fantastic band. We had a great time. The view from the balcony is very good - the seats were excellent. There is also an interesting exhibition of Dali sculptures at the Time Warner Center where the Jazz at Lincoln Cetner is located. We enjoyed the evening very much. Have already booked the next jazz event through the Goldstar.

Written on Nov 09 2010The venue is fantastic with seating all around the stage. The upper balcony is quite a distance from the stage so don't expect to see the performers faces without binoculars. The acoustics are great so the music is crisp and clear no matter where you sit. Was disappointed in that so much of the music "had never been performed before".

Description
Chances are you know the music of Billy Strayhorn better than his name. Working both as Duke Ellington's key collaborator and in his own right, Strayhorn was one of the all-time heavyweight composers. He was jazz's leading romantic, as shown in the tender and sensual "Lush Life" and "Lotus Blossom;" and with "Take the A Train" and "Johnny Come Lately" he wrote some of the hardest-swinging tunes of all time. Your ears will thank you for the rare opportunity to hear Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra play this distinctively gorgeous music. Featuring guest vocalist José James.
Actor Wendell Pierce, from HBO’s The Wire and Treme, and host of Jazz at Lincoln Center Radio, will host the show.
