Public Parks, Private Gardens exhibition at the Met is a perfect chance to see the magnificent green spaces of Paris through the eyes of the celebrated Impressionists from the Met Museum collection. And you don’t need to travel overseas to breeze the rest air of French parks! The Met brings the best of Paris to you.

The history behind the opening up of the parks and gardens to the public for its full enjoyment starts from the time of French revolution. The idea that the beauty of nature has to be enjoyed by all not only by the privileged, had brought us the beloved public gardens of Paris and accelerated their expansion and general interest in horticulture and urban landscaping. Vive la Revolution for letting us escape the hustle and bustle of the city in the stately designed allees!

Impressionists and their en pain air painting movement preserved the lush greenery of the places in their celebrated works. Streaming sunlight, fresh and potent vegetation with relaxed figures strolling the grounds or sitting on the benches is how the parks are memorialized for us by Monet, Pissarro, Rousseau, Pissarro, and others. The names of the celebrated Paris gardens, Jardin des Tuileries, Le Jardin du Luxembourg, Le Parc Monceau sound like a love song to the eternal beauty of the city. See the show and enjoy a short imaginary walk in the best urban parks at the best time of year. It’s a timeless gift that will make even the gloomiest day full of excitement and hope. Don’t miss your stroll in that gentle sunlight! Read More

Bard SummerScape is well known for its daring and adventurous streak offering to its audiences a delicious yet rarely performed music. Last year the program included A. Dvorak’s Dimitrij. This year it presents Anton Rubinstein’s opera Demon. Rubinstein’s work will complement the rest of the SummerScape program lineup celebrating the music of the The Mighty Five, the Russian composers of the late 19th century whose ambition was to write compositions rooted in Russian folk songs and traditional tonalities. The resulting trove of music literature enriched the sound palette and expanded the music language.

As for The Demon, with an all-Russian cast directed by Thaddeus Strassberger and accompanied by the American Symphony Orchestra with Mr. Botstein, current president of Bard College, conducting the opera will surely delight and amuse by its vibrant music and opulent choral arrangements. The performance are taking place at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts.
