Opera, Film, And The Return of the JDTLab at Guild Hall

Opera, film, and music are on the menu at Guild Hall this week, starting on Saturday at 1 p.m. with The Met: Live in HD, which will be simulcasting a new production of Dvorak’s “Rusalka” with Kristine Opolais in the title role. The director, Mary Zimmerman, brings her theatrical imagination to the fairy tale of love and longing, rejection and redemption. Tickets are $22, $20 for members, and $15 for students.

“To Kill a Mockingbird,” the classic film adaptation of Harper Lee’s novel, will be shown on Saturday at 7 p.m. Presented by the Hamptons International Film Festival, the evening will be hosted by Alec Baldwin, and an extended discussion between Mr. Baldwin and David Nugent, the festival’s artistic director, will follow the screening. Tickets are $22, $20 for members. 

On Tuesday at 7:30, JDT Lab and Carlos Lama will present “Brave Songs From the Departed,” a free evening of protest music devoted to the artistry of notable musicians who died in 2016, among them Prince, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Leon Russell, and Sharon Jones.

Mr. Lama, an audio engineer, vinyl enthusiast, D.J., and vocalist, will be joined onstage by Kevin Foran on bass, Jack Marshall on lead guitar, Sean Rafferty on drums, and Christopher Walsh, who is a senior writer at The Star, on piano and guitar.
