17:00. Drama, Comedy. Italy, France 1963, 138 min. Directed by Federico Fellini. Starring: Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale, Anouk Aimee, Sandra Milo, Rossella Falk. In Italian with Russian subtitles. Every Fellini film is a masterpiece in its own way. But this one is special: it is extremely autobiographical, subtle, filled with humor and sadness. The main character, played by Mastroianni, is a director who just can't get to work on his film, no matter what. He remembers the past and thinks about the future, plunges into dreams and fantasizes about the impossible. We are transported with him into his memories and suffer and rejoice along with him.

The Metropolitan Opera 2011, 144 min. Conducted by Patrick Summers. Starring: Natalie Dessay, Ludovic Tézier, Kwangchul Youn. In Italian. The tragic tale of "the bride of Lammermoor" has always been a favorite of opera-goers and sopranos alike. Yet with the riveting singing actress Natalie Dessay in the title role, Lucia's plight and descent into madness take on another dimension. Joseph Calleja is an ardent Edgardo, the man she loves but is not allowed to marry. Instead, her brother Enrico (Ludovic Tézier) forces her into a union with the rich Arturo (Matthew Plenk) to save the family fortunes. It proves too much to bear for Lucia—but certainly not for Met audiences, who hailed Dessay's stunning performance of this iconic bel canto role. Watch online here.
