As St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth and 51st begins to fill up, there’s a palpable excitement at the presentation to come. The interior is darkened; candles align the aisle. It’s not a holy day and no religious event is about to begin.
The Museum at FIT has done it again. They are charming guests with the full-scale exhibition, Doll Dressing that showcases the culture of dolls to include designing, collecting, playing and more.
Lola Petticrew is having a banner year. After a mesmerizing and brave performance in Hulu’s “Furious,” playing a sexual assault survivor killing her abusers, she stars as a Catholic Irish woman whose love affair with a Protestant barrister ignites violence.
The relationship between twins is endlessly fascinating and often lends itself to plots in mysteries. In BritBox’s Ludwig, now in its second season, David Mitchell plays a puzzle maker who becomes the police’s best tool in solving murders.
There’s an extraordinary exhibition at Grounds for Sculpture (GFS), “Shantell Martin: Past, Present, Future.” The artist presents an opportunity for people to deeply engage with her playful and inspiring immersive art. Guests are invited to explore the fleeting nature of time through murals, daily meditative practices and newly commissioned sculptures.
Agatha Christie’s Tommy and Tuppence may not be as well known as her other detectives, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. That makes this crime-solving duo perfect for the new series on BritBox.
The Metropolitan Opera launched its season with a riveting new vision of Verdi’s Macbeth that unfolds like a strikingly successful experiment in the uncanny.
