Berkeley Opera presents Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle and Ravel's L'enfant et les sortileges
A double bill of 20th century musical masterpieces. Though seldom performed, both of these one-act operas are famous for their exquisite beauty of orchestration and depth of imagination. Bluebeard's Castle explores the primal secrets of a tortured nobleman and his inquisitive bride; L'enfant et les sortileges explores the magical inner world of a child's capricious mind. Bluebeard's Castle will be sung in Hungarian and L'enfant et les sortileges will be sung in French, both with English supertitles. The pieces feature commissioned art by Naomie Kremer and Ariel. Berkeley Opera Artistic Director Jonathan Khuner will conduct.

Homenetmen presents Baron Garbis - a play in Armenian
Written and directed by comedic genius and avant-garde artist Vahé Berberian, Baron Garbis, a play in Armenian, is about a man who is transplanted from Bourdj Hammoud - the core of his existence - to an armchair in North Hollywood. There he wages war to defend the memories that have become his reality. A turbulent Baron Garbis conducts a passionate battle to defend his beliefs, actions, fears and ultimately his future, as layers of family history buried in secrecy are peeled. This universal story of family love, loyalty and honor is revealed as three generations - Baron Garbis, his son Jirair and grandson Khajag - with vastly different pasts, upbringings, morals and values clash.
A "Meet & Greet" with the writer/director and the actors will take place at La Mediteranee restaurant (2936 College Ave) following the May 23 performance.
These performances are a fundraiser for Homenetmen. All tickets $40.
