In English with Russian subtitles. Five-year-old Jack has spent his entire life in one room which he has never left, and has never seen anyone other than his mom, Joy and Old Nick, the rapist who kidnapped her seven years ago and locked her in this room. The mother and son have their own little world in which only mutual love helps them survive and stay sane. One day they finally get a chance to break free. But when all the worst is left behind, it turns out that life in a huge, unfamiliar world outside isn't so easy, either. A deep and subtle study of the infinite connection between mother and child that brought Brie Larson an Academy Award.

The Metropolitan Opera. USA 2020, 225 min. Conductor: David Robertson. Starring: Eric Owens, Angel Blue, Denyce Graves. In English with Russian subtitles. The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess returns to the Met for the first time since 1990, in a new production directed by James Robinson in his company debut. America’s “folk opera,” as the 1935 creators described it, tells the story of disabled beggar Porgy, sung by Eric Owens, and his love for the drug-addicted Bess, portrayed by Angel Blue. David Robertson conducts a stellar cast that also includes Donovan Singletary as fisherman Jake, Golda Schultz as his wife Clara, Latonia Moore as the bereaved widow Serena, Frederick Ballentine as drug dealer Sportin’ Life, Alfred Walker as the brutal stevedore Crown, and Denyce Graves as Maria, town matriarch and operator of the local cook-shop. Infused with the timeless melodies of the much-loved classics “Summertime,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now,” “I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin,” and “My Man’s Gone Now,” the new co-production with English National Opera and Dutch National Opera was hailed as a triumph at its premiere in London earlier this year.
