Conference | UN Watch Gala: Bari Weiss and Other World's Most Provocative and Inspiring Writers and Activists (virtual)


United Nations Watch is a leader at the UN in the struggle against antisemitism, and campaigns against all forms of racism and discrimination. UN Watch Gala will celebrate its extraordinary work on the world stage and will feature some of today's most provocative and inspiring writers and activists. Speakers: - Journalist Bari Weiss, who famously resigned this summer from the New York Times. She accused the newspaper of an ideological dogmatism hostile to intellectual curiosity, and of bullying by colleagues for her dissenting views - and for "writing about the Jews again." In 2019, Vanity Fair called Weiss the Times's "star opinion writer," and The Jerusalem Post named her the seventh most influential Jew in the world. - Shaparak Shajarizadeh, a former Iranian political prisoner and leader in women's rights and civil disobedience movements. The regime arrested Shajarizadeh in February 2018 for removing her headscarf in defiance of the compulsory hijab law. The BBC named her one of the 100 most inspiring and influential women around the world in 2018. - International lawyer, diplomat, writer and activist Hillel C. Neuer (the Executive Director of UN Watch and host). Register at https://unwatch.org/gala/?fbclid=IwAR1rhBvLp3Bsg1nWEDFZdksA0aNoaqbkm1zrVVoDree45T2Cs78l5Vp7aOw

Theater | Eugene O'Neill's A Touch of the Poet: One of His Finest Plays (virtual)


Proud and tempestuous Cornelius Melody (Con) owns a run-down inn and tavern near Boston in 1828. Laden with debt, Con clings to his tenuous identity as a landed gentleman and war hero and chastises his wife and daughter for actions that expose the family's humble Irish origins. When his daughter, Mary, falls in love with a wealthy American guest at their inn, Con's pride drives him to an explosive reckoning with his true place in the New World. Eugene O'Neill completed the play in 1942 but it was not performed until 1958, after his death. It has been produced on Broadway four times. Directed by Ciaran O'Reilly With Belle Aykroyd, Ciaran Byrne, Robert Cuccioli, Kate Forbes, Mary McCann, Andy Murray, David O'Hara, Tim Ruddy, David Sitler, and John C. Vennema

Opera | The Met Opera: Philip Glass's Satyagraha (virtual)


Following the success of his first foray into opera, Einstein on the Beach, revolutionary American composer and musician Philip Glass soon turned to another great figure of the 20th century for inspiration. Set to lines from the Hindu Bhagavad Gita, Satyagraha depicts scenes (arranged thematically rather than chronologically) from the life of Gandhi as he developed his philosophy of non-violent resistance in South Africa between 1896 and 1913. In this performance, tenor Richard Croft gives a moving performance as Gandhi, leading a remarkable ensemble cast conducted by Dante Anzolini. The opera became the second installment of Glass's Portrait Trilogy, which also includes Einstein on the Beach and Akhnaten and focuses on innovators from across history.
