Jesuit Opera
San Ignacio de Loyola
An Opera from the Jesuit Missions of Paraguay
By Domenico Zipoli, SJ (1688-1726); Martin Schmid, SJ (1694-1772); & a third anonymous composer
Directed by Michael A. Zampelli, SJ
Musical Direction by John Finney
Having the distinction of being the only surviving opera from the famous Jesuit missions of Paraguay (which the movie The Mission is based), this baroque opera reveals how Jesuits used music for missions, incorporating the artistic talents of the native populations.
It tells the story of St. Ignatius and his coming to understand how God’s love for him involves a deeper engagement with the world. The first movement of the opera charts Ignatius’ spiritual awakening through his interactions with angelic messengers and a diabolical tempter. The second movement presents the extension of Ignatius’ missionary fervor in his companion, Francis Xavier.

Film Screening of the Byron Hurt Documentary
Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes
HIP-HOP: BEYOND BEATS AND RHYMES is a riveting documentary that examines representations of gender roles in hip-hop and rap music through the lens of filmmaker Byron Hurt, a former college quarterback turned activist. Conceived as a “loving critique” from a self-proclaimed “hip-hop head,” Hurt examines issues of masculinity, sexism, violence and homophobia in today’s hip-hop culture.

METAMORPHOSES
by Mary Zimmerman
directed by Ken Sonkin
Mary Zimmerman's Metamorphoses brings Ovid's tales to stunning
visual life. Set in and around a large pool of water onstage,
Metamorphoses juxtaposes the ancient and the contemporary in both
language and image to reflect the variety and persistence of narrative
in the face of inevitable change. Metamorphoses played around
the country and Off Broadway before moving to Broadway's Circle
in the Square Theatre in March 2002. Based on David R. Slavitt's
translation of The Metamorphoses of Ovid.
