Celebrating at school...
Opera headed to
Sisters Movie House
Continuing its efforts to
bring wide-ranging cultural
events alongside the finest lat-
est release movie fare, Sisters
Movie House is set to bring
Mozart’s comedy “Così fan
tutte” in an “as live” produc-
tion from England’s Royal
Opera House on Thursday,
December 1 at 6:30 p.m.
The operatic jewel offers
a glittering take on the nature
of love in this brand new pro-
duction by director Jan Philipp
Gloger.
Based on a theme of “fian-
cée swapping” which dates
back to the 13th century,
Mozart’s opera follows the
story of two engaged couples
who are thrown into a whirl as
the men try to win the hearts
of the other’s fiancée to win
a bet. But the initial fun pro-
vokes serious consequences
as this “school for lovers”
teaches some hard lessons.
The new production is
staged in a theatre, putting a
spin on the two couples who
find the line between on-
stage and backstage becomes
increasingly blurred. An excit-
ing cast of young internation-
ally acclaimed singers, head-
lined by American soprano
15
Corrine Winters, fuel the stag-
ing, while celebrated conduc-
tor Semyon Bychkov oversees
the symphonic side of “Così
fan tutte” for the very first
time.
We’ve done a couple of
... music events here since
September. Now it’s time
for a real classic.
— Drew Kaza
“We’ve done a couple of

ment, the parent company of

off a fresh season of opera and
ballet from our friends in the
United Kingdom at the Royal
Opera House, we couldn’t be
more pleased to have such a
crowd-pleasing comedy. And
of course, you can’t lose with
Mozart.”

Climate change lawsuit can proceed
EUGENE, (AP) — A fed-
eral judge in Oregon says a
lawsuit brought by young cli-
mate activists against the fed-
eral government can proceed.
U.S. District Judge Ann
Aiken on Thursday denied
requests by the federal gov-
ernment as well as trade
groups representing energy
giants to dismiss the case.
They had argued that law-
makers and federal agencies,
not by the court, should deter-
mine climate change policy.
The lawsuit filed last year
in federal court in Eugene
alleges the federal govern-
ment has known for decades
that carbon pollution causes
climate change but has failed
to curb greenhouse gas
emissions.
The plaintiffs include 21
youths as well as climate sci-
entist James Hansen. They
are seeking a court decision
that finds the government is
violating their constitutional
rights to life, liberty and prop-
erty by allowing dangerous
emissions to be released into
the atmosphere.
