No Hugh (Bonneville) for
you, Vienna: Here’s why
Hugh
Bonneville
Q: I was interested to see
Hugh Bonneville hosting
the Vienna Philharmonic’s
New Year’s Day concert
www.bendbulletin.com/events/
from England. Was he not
scheduled to go to Vienna
from the start, or was that
a last-minute decision? – Melissa Arnold, via
e-mail
A: We spoke with the “Downton Abbey” alum a couple of
months before the PBS-televised “Great Performances” event,
and it already had been determined at that point that for his
fourth consecutive year of hosting it, he would accomplish that
remotely. Also given his recent role on The CW special “Silent
Night – A Song for the World,” he joked with us that he was
becoming known as “the host who sits by the fireplace.”
Given the nature of the PBS broadcast this last time, it was
fitting that Bonneville was situated as he was. Normally filled
with spectators on the holiday, Vienna’s Musikverein was
devoid of an on-site audience as the orchestra presented its
traditional program of Strauss music ... due to restrictions
caused by the coronavirus pandemic, of course. One of the
perks of the job for Bonneville has been his access to some
of Vienna’s most storied and beautiful locations, and though
he told us he would miss making those in-person visits, he
certainly understood the necessity.

Ingram relishes go-to role
in the Big Easy
Zion Williamson may have the name recognition
factor but Brandon Ingram usually has the final shot.
Indeed, when the game is on the line for the
New Orleans Pelicans, the ball more often than
not will end up in the hands of their 6-foot-7-inch
small forward, who has responded with a stellar
performance early in 2020-21.
Through the season’s first week, the fifth-year man
out of Duke was leading the Pels with 23.3 points per
game on 45.7 percent shooting with seven rebounds
and 6.5 assists. His efforts earned him Western
Conference Player of the Month for Week 1.
Also emerging are his leadership characteristics.
Ingram wants the ball in pressure situations and when
he fails, he has no problem taking the blame. In fact,
even when he makes mistakes in an otherwise great
game, as he did in a recent 28-point effort in a win
over the San Antonio Spurs, he’ll fess up.
Which speaks to character, a trait Pelicans’ head
coach Stan Van Gundy loves and is a big reason
why the team chose to award him with a five-year,
$158 million contract in preseason. It’s also why New Orleans made him the linchpin of the deal that sent
Anthony Davis west to the Lakers in the fall of 2019.
Ingram and the Pelicans can be seen in action Friday, Jan. 29, when they clash with the Milwaukee Bucks
at home in the early game of an ESPN doubleheader.
