With its enchanting setting and spellbinding score, the world’s most popular opera is as timeless as it is heartbreaking. Franco Zeffirelli’s picture-perfect production brings 19th-century Paris to the Met stage as Puccini’s young friends and lovers navigate the joy and struggle of bohemian life. Sopranos Juliana Grigoryan, Angel Blue, and Aleksandra Kurzak trade off as the feeble seamstress Mimì, opposite tenors Freddie De Tommaso, Stephen Costello, Adam Smith, and Long Long as the ardent poet Rodolfo.The Met: Live in HD, streamed from the Metropolitan Opera in New York City to the Snowy Owl screen.

Community contact jam & ecstatic dance. 10:00 –11:00 AM – Contact Jam (optional) Open to all levels, no experience necessary. We’ll begin with a 30-minute introduction offering some instruction in the form, then move into a free-form jam. Contact Improv is partner dancing improvisationally — a practice of attunement, listening, and safe, consensual touch. It explores weight sharing, connection, and movement together. 11:00 AM–1:00 PM – Ecstatic Dance We begin with an opening circle to co-create a safe container for everyone to move freely. The dance takes participants on a journey with music carefully curated to guide expression, and we end with a closing circle to share and connect if desired. Free-form dance invites your body, emotion, and expression to move freely. Play, explore, and connect. Come as you are — dance like no one is watching! It’s not about how you look, but how you feel.
