Until June 14 | Lois B. and Michael K. Torf Gallery (Gallery 184) | Museum of Fine Arts | 465 Huntington Avenue, Boston Leonardo da Vinci and the Idea of Beauty
In an intimate exhibition featuring master drawings by Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, the star is a study of an
angel that the art historian Sir Kenneth Clark called "the most beautiful...in the world." Leonardo da Vinci's accomplishments in art and science find their common ground in his drawings, into which he poured the full fervor of his intelligence and creative powers. Throughout his career, Leonardo experimented with various types of drawings: scientific studies; grotesque caricatures of craggy faces; and the most beautiful faces of men and women that he could imagine. Many of Leonardo's most admired drawings are featured in this rich and varied selection of 29 sheets and a manuscript, opening on April 15, fittingly Leonardo's birthday.
One revelation for visitors will be the rarely displayed Codex on Flight, one of Leonardo's most perceptive scientific explorations, with its nearly hidden self-portrait of Leonardo as a young man, a recent discovery. The exhibition features rare loans from a number of Italian public collections, including the Uffizi Museum in Florence, the Biblioteca Reale in Turin, and the Casa Buonarroti, the ancestral property of Michelangelo in Florence, which has lent eight drawings by that master.

Italy During and After the 2008-9 Crisis. Is it Over? And What are its Country Specific and Euro-area Causes and Impact -

Italy During and After the 2008-9 Crisis. Is it Over? And What are its Country Specific and Euro-area Causes and Impact
The Italian economy has not performed very well in the aftermath of the 2008-09 global financial crisis. This has reflected a combination of factors, some of them pertaining to the overall Euro-area crisis, some of them Italy-specific. Now Italy seems to be emerging from the crisis, although the recovery is still tentative. Why has Italy suffered so much from the 2008-09 crisis? Has its economic outlook now really improved? And how will policies and developments in the rest of the European Union affect Italy?

Romantic Operas of Puccini
|
| | click on image for more information |
As with all arts experiences, we tend to enjoy the experiences that we have a frame of reference for, such as seeing a favorite band play familiar songs, or seeing an art exhibit where you know a personal history of the artist. Often, we go to see a performance and say, "that was great (or terrible) but I really did not understand it!"
The goal of this workshop is to break down and delve deeper into the world of Puccini and his famous romantic operas, with a special focus on his masterpiece, La Boh�me. In addition to the four workshop class offerings, participants will go see the NEMPAC Opera Project production of La Boh�me as a class in June.
Workshop participants will share in a social and musical experience in conjunction with receiving an educational context for which to enjoy and evaluate the opera experience. The workshop is geared for both the seasoned opera lover and those new to the opera performance world. Taught by renown educator and opera coach, Thomas Enman, this is one adult workshop not to be missed! Please contact workshop administrator, Rebecca Rapoport-Cole, at [email protected] should you have any questions! Dates: Sundays, May 31st, June 7th, June 14th, June 21st Time: Sundays, 2:30 p.m. - 4 p.m.; 1.5 hour workshop sessions.
Location: 9 Hull Street.
Price: $175.00 - all 4 workshops and a ticket to the NEMPAC Opera Project production of La Boh�me at Faneuil Hall - The Great Hall on June 25 to June 27.
