On Stage This Month
The opening week of the new season also features a pair of rare operatic gems returning to the Met. Rising star tenor Michael Spyres takes on the title role in Mozart’s early masterpiece Idomeneo on September 28, while the following evening, soprano Svetlana Sozdateleva makes an exciting company debut as the femme fatale Katerina Ismailova in Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. And in October, audiences can take in star-studded revivals of Puccini’s Tosca, Britten’s Peter Grimes, and Verdi’s La Traviata.
COOPER HEWITT MUSEUM
This exhibition, curated by MASS Design Group and Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, was organized during the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic revealed what some have known for a long time: breathing is spatial. This fact has implications at the scale of the body, building, city, and planet.
Everyone on Earth has been affected by the pandemic. Unequal access to housing, jobs, and health care ensured that COVID-19 hit marginalized communities harder than others.
This exhibition presents architectural case studies and historical narratives alongside creative design responses to COVID-19. Every designer, artist, doctor, engineer, or neighbor featured in the exhibition asked, “How can I help?”
They used open-source collaboration, rapid-response prototyping,
product hacking, and social activism to create medical devices, protective
gear, infographics, political posters, architecture, and community services—all
with the shared aspiration to reduce structural barriers that keep us from
accessing the care we all deserve.
