Written By: Mary Adair Trumbly - Highlands PAC | Issue: May 2024

Mister Mojo
Saturday, May 4, kicks off the 2024 HPAC Concert Season with MOJO and The Bayou Gypsies. It’s all-original Mojo music in the Louisiana bayou traditions of pure Americana! “This bayou man, Mister Mojo, and his troupe of near-mad musical provocateurs, have poured Louisiana fire on audiences across the planet for over a quarter century. Few performers can lift an audience like Mojo, star of the Bayou Gypsies. None match the unbridled fever this charismatic singer/accordionist brings to the stage.” –Syndicated News Network
Saturday, May 11 brings the final production of the MET Opera’s 2023-24 Live on Screen season with Madama Butterfly by Puccini. In her Met debut, Asmik Grigorian tackles the demanding role of Cio-Cio-San, the trusting geisha at the heart of Puccini’s tragedy. Tenor Jonathan Tetelman is the callous American naval officer Pinkerton whose betrayal destroys her. Mezzo-soprano Elizabeth DeShong is the steadfast maid Suzuki, and baritone Lucas Meachem is the American consul Sharpless. Acclaimed maestro Xian Zhang makes her Met debut conducting Anthony Minghella’s vivid production.
Madama Butterfly begins at 12:55 P.M. with a pre-opera discussion at 12:30 P.M.
