The Flying Dutchman

From its stormy overture to climactic finale, Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman lures you into its mysterious depths. The Dutchman, a ghostly sailor, is condemned to wander the waves for eternity. But every seventh year he disembarks to find a bride who can break his curse. In a small Norwegian fishing village, he fatefully encounters Senta, a young woman who is obsessed with the Dutchman’s legend. Can the power of love break the curse? How much must we sacrifice to bring about salvation?

Maestro David Neely leads this sweeping, evocative score which features epic choruses, thrilling orchestrations and a superstar cast headlined by bass-baritone Ryan McKinny, who makes his DMMO debut as the Dutchman. Company favorite Joshua Borths makes his mainstage directing debut, charting the course of Richard Wagner’s return to the DMMO stage for the first time in nearly 40 years. Steven C. Kemp returns as scenic designer and Ian Wallace debuts as projection designer.

The Rake's Progress

Inspired by William Hogarth’s famous series of paintings, Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress charts one man’s path from pleasure to ruin. When the mysterious Nick Shadow appears, Tom Rakewell abandons his sweetheart, Anne Trulove, and leaves behind his country life for the temptations of the city. But London’s glittering promise soon dissolves as love, money and sanity slip farther and farther from his grasp. Can true love save him, or will the devil get the last laugh?

The Rake’s Progress is surely one of the 20th century’s most dazzling and original works—as if a Mozart opera wandered into a hall of mirrors. Comedy and tragedy are never far apart in this light-hearted work that can break your heart with the broadest of smiles. Jonas HackerJoélle Harvey and Sam Carl lead the cast in a new production by director Chas Rader-Shieber and scenic and costume designer Robert Perdziola, featuring the festival debut of conductor Christopher Allen.

The Cunning Little Vixen

The tale of a quick-witted fox and her escape from confinement for a life in the forest is by turns joyful, witty, romantic and tragic. The Cunning Little Vixen follows the cycle of death and rebirth through the instinctive and immediate world of nature—animal and human, which Janáček loved so dearly. In this celebrated score, singers and orchestra embody the sounds of the forest, the feel of sunshine on your face and the thrill of a starlit sky.

Bursting with boundless invention, imaginative colors and a memorable cast of creatures, director Kristine McIntyre, maestro David Neely, and Oyoram, Visual Composer, reunite after their triumphant production of Bluebeard’s Castle to bring the vixen’s natural world to life. Vita Tzykun returns to join this creative team as costume designer, Luke Cantarella returns as scenic designer and Kate Ashton returns as Lighting Designer. Soprano Hera Hyesang Park debuts as the Vixen and Sun-Ly Pierce returns to the festival to make a role debut as the Fox.

Anyone else notice a rising increase in negativity out there?  By asking a question like that, I’m practically begging you to look for it and prove me right!

But what if I ask you to prove me wrong – that there’s also a whole lot of reasons to be joyful?

If you knew for sure that you got back what you put out into the world, would you put out things like grouchiness, hostility, sarcasm, ridicule, and shame, or would you put out patience, kindness, helpfulness, forgiveness, grace, and joy?

What if I told you that there’s strong evidence that people respond to us the way we show up for them?

And what if there was truth to the idea that to show up with more joy, with more hope, with more light, we simply need to look for more of it – and it’s EVERYWHERE!

This quick hit, one-hour course offers strategies and tactics in radical self-management, resilience, empathy, and in making workdays (and every day) better for the people around us. Join us to find the joy and be the joy!!

With just a handful of key concepts, Changemakers can enable change in an organization in a way that protects business interests, empowers people, and simplifies the process. Join us in this session to learn more.

Changemakers are the individuals who put the good of the organization first, make authentic human connection, and consistently treat change as a process, not an event. They make things happen.

More often than not, though, Changemakers get stuck. There’s not enough budget. Our projects keep falling behind. We rarely stick to a change when we propose one. Someone is always upset about an initiative. Is there a better way? Yes!

This jam packed and engaging session will give you the tools and techniques for a better way…

  • For change
  • To get more done
  • To bring people along

By attending this course, participants will:

  • Gain tools to help you improve your influence
  • Encounter a simple, easy-to-apply model for talking about one of the most disruptive forces at work
  • Enable you to identify and empower changemakers around you

Join us for a beautiful, mind and body healing yoga session next to the flower garden.  Let the hustle of life fade away while you take in the beautiful sights on the farm. Bethany with Begin Again Yoga will lead you through a 60-minute yoga practice to awaken the body through mindful movement and breath work. Enjoy tranquil, beautiful views of the Cottage Garden and flower fields in the idyllic Iowa countryside. In addition to yoga, guests will have the opportunity to tour the 22-raised bed Cottage Garden, and the one-of-a-kind Willow Cottage & Garden, a beautiful custom-made cottage with a beautiful garden, including a fountain and 16-foot flower tunnel.  After class feel free to explore the farm and relax.  

 

If you'd like to extend your morning on the farm, we will host an optional u-pick bouquet making experience after class.  Guests who elect this add-on option will be provided a pint jar filled with water, and we will set you loose in the flower fields to cut a bouquet to take home.  Pre-order now as part of your ticket, or purchase the u-pick experience the day of the event.

Yoga and flowers... the perfect way to kick off a beautiful weekend.

 

Please bring a yoga mat, layered clothing, and a water bottle. Some extra mats will be available to use, but on a first come first serve basis.  Visit Bethany's website at www.beginagainyoga.com to learn more about her practice.

 

Our farm is NOT open to the public except for special events, so this is your chance to visit the farm for this unique experience.  

 

NOTE:  We will not email tickets to you, upon order confirmation, your name will be added to our attendance list.  We will send an email with all the "what to expect" details a few days prior to the yoga session.  Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.  However, if you are unable to attend, feel free to gift your ticket to a friend (just be sure they use your name to check in).

Happy Monday! I wanted to reach out and check with you all about the Friends of the Library Fundraiser taking place on the square June 28th from 10am-2pm . The businesses are asked to provide a bite-sized sweet treat (a chocolate, a small pastry etc.) to participants who have a punch card they have purchased from Friends of the Library. When they enter your business they will get a punch for participating. This is a great way to drive extra traffic through your doors and support a good cause. If you are able to participate, please let me know as soon as possible so they can get you added to the list of participating businesses.
