Opera at the Met: Turandot Saturday, January 17 1:00 p.m., Community Room Turandot tells the story of an icy Chinese princess who challenges suitors to answer three riddles to win her hand, with failure meaning death; a mysterious Prince Calaf solves them, but only after his devoted slave Liù sacrifices herself for love, ultimately melting Turandot's cold heart and revealing her own capacity for love, a transformation completed by Alfano's ending after Puccini's death, featuring the famous aria "Nessun Dorma".

Curiosity University: Journalism from the American Revolution to the Digital Revolution Friday, January 16 1:00 p.m., Community Room By the founding of our country, America’s press had already evolved from a puny, weak, censored offshoot of the printing trade into a robust forum for political debate. Activists on both sides launched new publications at a rapid pace, often hiding behind pseudonyms to launch bitter partisan attacks. That’s the model of news media enshrined in the Constitution. In this lecture, Professor Chris Daly will show how those polemical, local, hand-made newspapers and pamphlets evolved again into the powerhouses of mass media in newspapers, magazines, radio, and television. Over the years, they grew, needing to appeal to a broader audience. They adopted a kind of political camouflage: the doctrine of objectivity. Then came the internet, which upset the business model and led to the splintering of that big audience. Now, most people can choose precisely the news they like, with the political spin they prefer. Join resident, Michael Harrington, to listen to this wonderful lecture featuring a discussion about journalism. All are welcome.
