Wagner: A Film by Tony Palmer (23 May)
Thursday 23 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
Wagner was born 200 years ago on 22 May 1813. Filmed in 200 locations throughout Europe, many where the actual historical events took place, this epic film was made in 1982/3 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Wagner's death and stars Richard Burton as Wagner, his last major role. In this third episode "Tristan and Isolde" is finally performed but shortly afterwards Wagner is banished. Wagner and Cosima are overjoyed by the birth of their son, Siegfried. Meanwhile, the Franco-Prussian war finally realises Wagner's lifelong dream of a united Germany. Wagner marries Cosima and returns to Munich but has yet another clash with Ludwig and his ministers so decides to build his own opera house at Bayreuth.
Admission: $3.00 [free to film members]
The Chitungwiza Harmony Singers (25 May)
Saturday 25 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.00 p.m.
The Chitungwiza Harmony Singers are perhaps Zimbabwe's premier choir and have a vast repertoire of perfectly executed music, both sacred and secular, including classical operatic renditions. They are known for their professionalism and perfectionism,as well as their well-practiced dance steps and rhythmic movements. This concert is one of a series being held to help the fundraising for a planned trip to the U.S.A in September and is particularly appropriate for Africa Day!
Booking at the Academy. Tickets $3.00 in advance, $5.00 at the door
Wagner Part 4 and Tristan und Isolde - Act I (30 May)
Thursday 30 May Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
In the final episode of "Wagner", construction on the opera house in Bayreuth begins and the epic "Der Ring des Nibelungen" is finally performed. Wagner completes "Parsifal" and goes to spend the winter in Venice where he dies.
Widely acknowledged as one of the peaks of the operatic repertory, the final opera in the Academy's Wagner cycle (before we start again in July!) is "Tristan und Isolde" which was initially inspired by his affair with Mathilde Wesendonck.
"Daniel Barenboim made a triumphant debut as principal guest conductor at La Scala's gala opening-night premiere of a new staging of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, receiving 20 minutes of applause, a shower of roses and shouts of bravi... public and critics were unanimous in praising the production and Daniel Barenboim's conducting as well as the cast, which boasts Waltraud Meier as Isolde and saw British tenor Ian Storey as Tristan in his Scala debut." [Associated Press]
Admission: $3.00 [free to film and Red Carpet members!]
Wagner: Tristan und Isolde - Acts II & III (31 May)
Friday 31 May Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Carriages: 10.00 p.m.
"The performance is utterly gripping, heart-wrenching and true to Wagner in every sense. Patrice Chéreau has proven, over and over, that he understands Wagner on the deepest level...the stark, surreal nature of his staging leaves only the music and the poetry for us to absorb. Barenboim's love of the composer is always evident in his passionate direction. This must be the definitive version of this amazing work, so close to Wagner's true feelings of love and death... And Waltraud Meier IS Isolde." [Rupert Christiansen]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Supper available during the interval

In fact, this presentation has important messages for anybody with a mother!.
Dr Northrup covers a range of topics designed to bring mothers and daughters to greater consciousness, including "the five facets of feminine power", how to end the mother/daughter "chain of pain", the power of forgiveness and how to deal with a difficult mother or daughter.

Conscious Communication Workshop (1–2 June)
with Sonia Pereira, Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 June, 9:00am - 4:30pm
Our capacity to communicate either unites or separates us – Learn to clarify and optimise your communication skills.
Most of our relational conflict emanates from our inability to take responsibility for the ways in which we communicate what we need. Often we are not even aware of what we need or what we are really asking for – we only know that we feel, and tend to express through these un-clarified feelings. This may often result in confusion, conflict and/or breakdown in one form or another.
Drawing on personal experience this workshop seeks to discern and clarify our confusion around our observations and interpretations; feelings and needs; needs and strategies; strategies and requests; the role of empathy; and where we abdicate responsibility in blaming others for not understanding or meeting our “demands” whatever they may be.
$100 & bring & share lunch (Couples and relatives $75 each)
If interested, please contact Sonia on <mailto:sonia@zol.co.zw> or 0772 240165
