This Week at Guild Hall

Tonight at 8, Guild Hall’s Rock Cinema series will present “Aerosmith Rocks Donington,” a documentary that captured the rock group’s concert at the 2014 Download Festival in Leicestershire, England. According to the group’s guitarist, Brad Whitford, “Sometimes, stuff live will get lost or cluttered. On this particular show, you are hearing it exactly as it happened.” Tickets are $12, $10 for members.

Rock will yield to opera tomorrow evening at 7, when Bob Balaban will interview Susan Stroman, who directed and choreographed “The Merry Widow” at the Metropolitan Opera. The conversation will be followed by an encore screening of The Met: Live in HD’s film of the Jan. 17, 2015, performance of the opera, which starred Renee Fleming as the femme fatale who captivates Paris. Sir Andrew Davis conducts. Tickets are priced at $30, $28 for members.

Another maestro will be in the John Drew Theater Sunday morning at 11 when “Stirring the Pot: Conversations with Culinary Celebrities” features Gregory Zakarian in conversation with Florence Fabricant, a food writer for The New York Times and author of 11 cookbooks.

Mr. Zakarian is a Michelin Star-winning chef whose current restaurants include the Lambs Club and the National in New York and Tudor House in South Beach. He appears regularly on Food Network’s “Chopped,” “Iron Chef America,” and “The Next Iron Chef.” Tickets are $15, $13 for members. A 10 a.m. V.I.P. reception and continental breakfast raise the tariff to $75 and $50.

On Wednesday at 7 p.m., a benefit for the Surfrider Foundation Eastern Long Island Chapter’s Blue Water Task Force will include a screening of “The Fisherman’s Son,” a documentary about a world-class surfer from Chile who has dedicated himself to preserving his home waters from development. A raffle, a beach creatures touch tank, and other programs will fill out the evening, for which tickets are $20.
