11:00. Thriller, horror, crime. USA 1960, 109 min. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring: Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Martin Balsam. In English with Russian subtitles. A secretary named Marion Crane, upset that her lover refuses to make their relationship official, steals a large amount of money at work and rushes away from the city. She stays the night in a secluded motel run by a nice young man named Norman Bates, and this cut-and-dry crime story with a chase turns straight into a bloody and unpredictable horror that violated all the laws of the genre at that time while establishing new ones as it went. One of Hitchcock's greatest masterpieces, this exemplary psychological thriller—which turns 60 this year—is coming to the big screen again.

The Metropolitan Opera 2017, 172 min (with one intermission). Directed by Bartlett Sher. Conductor: Gianandrea Noseda. Starring: Diana Damrau, Vittorio Grigolo, Elliot Madore. Sung in French. A La Scala Production, initially presented by the Salzburg Festival. When Diana Damrau and Vittorio Grigolo starred opposite each other in Manon at the Met in 2015, the New York Times said, “the temperature rises nearly to boiling every time Damrau and Grigolo are on stage together.” Now they’re back as opera’s classic lovers, in Gounod’s lush Shakespeare adaptation. The production, by director Bartlett Sher, has already won acclaim for its vivid 18th-century milieu and stunning costumes during runs at Salzburg and La Scala. Gianandrea Noseda conducts the sumptuous score. Watch online here.
