OK, “Tesseract,” the name of the dance/theater/ film piece at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Harvey Theater, is a brainteaser. In geometry, a tesseract is a four-dimensional shape made up of eight cubes, 24 squares and 32 edges. But enough math. The onstage “Tesseract” is art: a 3-D dance video and live performance with video capture and projection. Very layered and very of the moment. | bam.org, also Dec. 14–16

MAKIMAKI (1369 Sixth Ave., 212.245.4550) was, frankly, not what I expected. Usually restaurants with a public relations firm behind them are fairly elaborate affairs: at the very least, sit-down spots with waiter service. But Kevin Takarada’s 650-square-foot takeout is a mere slip of a space, with just a counter and a few stools for the lucky few who can nab them.

The sushi, however, was worthy of a four-star affair. Maki rolls (cut-up or hand-held sushi rolls) were exquisitely fresh: The rolls came wrapped in a tight, twist-off cellophane (with directions) “to keep each roll as fresh as possible until the moment it is eaten,” explains Takarada. Besides the standards (spicy tuna, eel avocado, etc.), you can also customize your own roll.

Sushi-aholics, don’t miss this place! Elsewhere, an American bistro, Esther & Carol (341 Broome St., 646.355.1840), has gained a following since opening last May. The decor is sleek

and contemporary (gray leather banquettes, metallic drop lights), while the menu runs the gamut from traditional (chicken noodle soup, fried chicken) to trendy (wheat berry and quinoa grain bowl). Who, by the way, are Esther and Carol? The owners’ mothers. Actor Chazz Palminteri (“A Bronx Tale”) has moved his namesake restaurant from Second Ave. to the Theater District (30 W. 46th St., 212.355.5540) where you can expect white tablecloth service and classic Northern Italian dishes (prosciutto and melon, mushroom risotto, veal parmigiana). At Lincoln Ristorante (142 W. 65th St., 212.359.6500), Chef Shea Gallante takes a wider view of Italy, borrowing from both northern and southern traditions.

The restaurant’s wraparound glass windows offer a great view of Lincoln Center’s sweeping plaza, while the open kitchen provides a steady stream of inventive dishes (fluke crudo with watermelon radish, pappardelle with lamb bacon, Tuscan crustacean stew).

Hundreds of bottles—including sparkling wines from France, Italy, Austria, Greece, Spain, Germany and the United States—as well as varietals of Champagne ranging from single grapes to blends, to Champagne rosés and sparkling rosés, make up the long and informative book of wines at the first MacDougal St. restaurant venture from New York born-and-bred owner and Wine Enthusiast “40 Under 40 Tastemaker,” 29-year-old Ariel Arce. | Air’s Champagne Parlor, 127 MacDougal St., 212.420.4777

A Drink to Experience Locally sourced produce and ingredients are procured daily to be incorporated into handcrafted cocktails, prepared in a “drink kitchen” by a staff of bartenders whipping up inventive, intricate concoctions, or offering modern takes on classic libations, such as the hot toddy, reimagined with graham flour, cinnamon, mocha chai and bourbon, forming “Cloche Encounters of the 46 Kind.” | The Aviary, Mandarin Oriental New York, 80 Columbus Cir., at W. 60th St., 212.805.8800

Who wouldn’t love to find a work of art under the tree? Jampacked with galleries, New York offers something at almost any price for the art enthusiast on your list (or for yourself). Besides, it doesn’t cost anything to look.

(1) With over 50 works, “Ardent Nature: Arshile Gorky Landscapes, 1943-47” is a gift for aficionados of the groundbreaking artist, whose enigmatic Surrealism prefigured Abstract Expressionism. Inspired by summers spent on a farm, lyrical paintings like “Pastoral” (1947) show how Gorky (1904-1948) liberated himself from artistic conventions.

exhibit “Festival of Life,” which spills through two Chelsea galleries. David Zwirner, 525 & 533 W. 19th sts., thru Dec. 16 (3) Collecting work by younger artists lets you watch a career develop and often sidestep stratospheric prices. In “HotSpots,” his first New York solo show, Los Angeles artist Brian Rochefort unveils irresistibly tactile ceramic “craters,” including “Chumbe” (2017). Rochefort’s travels to volcanoes, rain forests and barrier reefs inspired these bold sculptures that blast past traditional ceramics. Van Doren Waxter, 195 Chrystie St., 212.982.1930, thru Dec. 22 (4) Born into a Yoruba family in London, Tunji Adeniyi-Jones is fascinated by the enduring influence of ancient West African aesthetic traditions on present-day diasporic communities. In “Flash of the Spirit,” the 25-year-old New York artist creates his own mythologies of ancient royalty and Yoruba deities in vibrant, color-field paintings like “Red Twins” (2016).

THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis

Truth is, we New Yorkers don’t get to see live theater from abroad as often we would like. Certainly not on the grand scale of Théâtre du Soleil’s “A Room in India (Une chambre en Inde)” (right), which has its North American premiere here this month.

Under the visionary direction of Ariane Mnouchkine, whose 1978 film ‘Molière” is required viewing for every theater buff, the Paris-based company of 35 multinational actors performs a story about a touring theater troupe stranded in India following a European terrorist attack. Timely to be sure, with issues of religious extremism, climate change and gender equity addressed.

But thrillingly exotic, too, with interludes of terukkuttu, an ancient and elaborate form of theater practiced in South India. | “A Room in India (Une chambre en Inde),” Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Ave., 212.933.5812, Dec. 5–20

The Doctor Is In

When I spoke on the phone to singer/songwriter Jason Mraz, he was walking to rehearsals for the hit Broadway musical “Waitress,” in which he stars (with Betsy Wolfe, below) through mid-January. What prompted the Grammy Award winner to take on the challenge of his first extended role as Dr. Pomatter, the romantic lead? “I thought that dramatic roles would come to me in my 50s [he just turned 40], when I had more life experience and more facial hair,” he said. ”So, when Sara [Bareilles, writer of the show’s songs] asked if I would consider the gig, I felt uncomfortable, which was a sign that I should do it.” Always one to say yes to life, Mraz summed up his new adventure this way: “If it goes really bad, I’m going to want to do it again to redeem myself. If it goes really great, I’m going to want to do it again because it went really great.” It’s going great. | “Waitress,” Brooks Atkinson Theatre, 256 W. 47th St., 877.250.2929

Beautiful Music

Ask me what play I’m most looking forward to seeing and, without hesitation, I’ll say Claire van Kampen’s “Farinelli and the King.” The plot is drawn from life: Borderline loony and insomniac Philippe V of Spain finds comfort and healing in the dulcet tones of Italian castrato Farinelli. Playing these two mentally and physically wounded soul mates are Mark Rylance and Sam Crane (left to right, above).

Crane is new to me, but Rylance … he can do no wrong, whether in the theater, on TV or in the movies. Students of acting, and anyone else who wants to get up close to a masterful performance, should consider buying a ticket for a special onstage seat. | “Farinelli and the King,” Belasco Theatre, 111 W. 44th St., 212.239.6200

Uma s ’ GRAND DEBUT Uma Thurman, the alluring blonde star of the silver screen, finally comes to Broadway. BY BRIAN SCOTT LIPTON

18

IN NEW YORK | DECEMBER 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

“I’VE BEEN CHOMPING at the bit to get back to acting,” says Uma Thurman. While the 6-foot-tall actress has appeared in dozens of movies and television shows over the first 25 years of her career, from “Dangerous Liaisons” (1988) to “Pulp Fiction,” (1994) to “The Producers” (2005) to “Smash” (2012)—earning Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy nominations along the way — she has worked far more sporadically since her daughter Luna (from actor-director Arpad Busson) was born five years ago.

In her 47 years, Uma Thurman has seemingly lived numerous lifetimes. Born in Boston, she grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts—along with siblings, Ganden, Dechen, and Mipam— where the Dalai Lama would visit her father, the famed Buddhist scholar, Robert Thurman, and her mother, Nena, a fashionmodel-turned-psychotherapist who had been previously married to Timothy Leary.

She came to New York as a teenager, where after a brief modeling career, she began acting in films at age 16. For all her prodigious talent, though, her personal life has made the statuesque, startlingly beautiful actress almost as famous as her films; most notably, her marriages to actors Gary Oldman and Ethan Hawke and her romance with hotelier André Balazs But now, Thurman (also mother to Maya, 19, and Levon, 15, from exhusband Ethan Hawke) is back in the spotlight. She has four films in production and is taking her first turn on Broadway as Chloe, the deceptively smart political wife in “The Parisian Woman,” by Beau Willimon (“House of Cards), about political maneuvering in Washington, D.C. How did you make the transition from modeling to acting?

I was in boarding school in Boston and needed spending money, so my mother suggested I become a model. And then it just happened that my modeling agent decided to open an acting agency and asked me to join it. So I thought, “that’s perfect.” By the time I was 16, I had already made a couple of movies, and then everything changed when I made “Dangerous Liaisons.” I was only 18 when that film came out.

Of course. I am terrified about the results. Even before rehearsals started, I had all those famous actors’ nightmares and woke up in the sweat of anxiety. Some people have tried to scare me about Broadway, but I figure if you get torn to pieces, it should be by the finest people in the world. But I also often forget what I can do until I do it. I also know I am the luckiest person alive to be directed by Pam, to have Beau writing this script and to be working with great actors like Josh Lucas and Blair Brown.

Tell me what you love most about your character, Chloe?

I think she is fascinating, because she is so liberated in her life, in a way not many women are. It’s not often you see women pictured in such a multidimensional way. I also love the unusual depiction of marriage and what the play says about love.

The play is set during the Trump presidency, and Beau is going to constantly update the script as things happen in real life. How do you feel about that idea?

That’s an added pressure. With all the things going on, there’s no telling if the play will just be adjusted a little every week or if it could turn into large, even full-scale renovation. It’s possible things will get so crazy that we’ll just have a TV on the stage running CNN, and we all will just be talking back to it!

Do you have role models in your profession?

Don’t laugh, but Doris Day was one of my true heroes. If I could have lived in any other time in history, and if I could’ve been Doris Day, I would have taken it. Of course, I admire so many working actresses, especially Meryl Streep and Sissy Spacek.

How does being a mother affect playing a woman like Chloe?

Motherhood has been my master in the best sense of the word. But I believe that the concept of living for yourself is just as valid. I admire Chloe, who hasn’t suffered over the decision she made in not having had children.

Now, it’s almost 30 years later, and you’re finally making your

Your daughter Maya is following in your professional foot-

Broadway debut. What took so long?

steps. Are you happy about that?

First of all, this is something I’ve wanted to do for years; in many ways, it was just circumstances that prevented it from happening. But I admit some of it was my own hemming and hawing about getting onstage. Ultimately, all of my life experiences have delivered me here right now. My youngest child is now 5, and I feel it’s finally the right time to take back my passion for acting.

She’s conquering the world and having this meteoric rise in acting. I will admit I wanted her to get a bachelors of arts from a traditional college rather than going to Juilliard, and I was not listened to. As a parent, you have to guess what’s best for your children, and I may have guessed wrong. In fact, I’ll be happy if she proves me wrong. I am not the author of her life, and, as a mother, I know deep down I have to be fluid and flexible and provide support.

So how did you actually end up in “The Parisian Woman”?

PHOTO: RUVEN AFANADOR

Are you scared at all about taking on this challenge?

A couple of years ago, my lawyer suggested I meet this great stage director, Pam MacKinnon, who was also his client. And we got along enormously well and talked a lot about me making the transition from film acting to stage acting. At the end of our meeting, I told her, if you have any ideas, just point me to something. And then she paused and said she was working on something with a great writer. She didn’t say what it was. And I couldn’t believe it when she sent me the Beau Willimon script. I read it in one gulp and knew I wanted to do it.

Many people think of you as a quintessential New Yorker, even though you were raised in New England.

What I most love about New York is its diversity. It forces an integration that some other places don’t. People here all feel they’re New Yorkers, no matter where they started. Ultimately, whether you’re standing in the rain at the Lincoln Center fountain or just driving by the statue of Duke Ellington in Central Park, you feel the magic of New York.

Glass is timeless, which is why the vintage Etched Mercury Tea Light Holder ($19) and the Mercury Bowl Vase ($55) make exquisite home furnishings gifts. Rucker suggests grouping several on shelves or decorating holiday tables with candles and flowers.

The Little White Company (the children’s department) has a cute Reindeer Romper ($48), snug and comfy on any tiny tot. “This fun all-in-one is just perfect for baby’s first Christmas,” says Rucker.

Erica Russo, Bloomingdale’s Operating Vice President and Fashion Director of Accessories and Beauty, assures us that style and gift giving go hand in hand.

According to Russo, nothing says cozy chic quite the way that Bloomingdale’s Cashmere Crewneck Sweaters ($198) do. Available in The Men’s Store, the pullovers come in 10 different colors including slate, coal and dusk-blue.

“Show the woman in your life just how much she sparkles and shines,” suggests Russo, with Bloomingdale’s exclusive Roberto Coin 18-karat yellow gold Princess Chiodo Bangle Bracelet ($6,500), with openwork detail and capped with pavé diamonds.

Oenophiles will adore the Üllo Wine Decanter Set ($149.99). Holding one full bottle of wine, the borosilicate handblown glass carafe includes a removable purifier that filters out artificial preservatives.

Russo says to “indulge your little musician” and celebrate “The Greatest Showman”—20th Century Fox’s film about P.T. Barnum, scheduled for release on Christmas Day—when you give the limited-edition Melissa and Doug Learn-to-Play Piano ($139.99).

The hardwood little piano has 25 color-coded keys.

even more so afterward. Emmanuel Plat, Director of Merchandising for the MoMA Design Store, divulges his preferred holiday gift picks.

Named after Einstein, the wall-mountable Albert Clock ($340) displays unsolved math equations that require cracking to read the time, so geeky guys and gals can work their minds and tell time simultaneously. Plat refers to the gadget, which features a white LED display and six different levels of difficulty, as “a clock like no other.”

For women, Plat selected the Origami-inspired “Plywood” Shoulder Bag ($250) because it’s “a wonderful ‘trompe l’oeil’ bag that looks just like plywood, but is made from one piece of leather.” Wearable on the shoulder or as a cross-body purse, it has slots and pockets on the interior to stay organized.

“This German dinnerware brings a cheerful touch to any dinner party,” says Plat of the elegant and dishwasher-safe Cucina Colori Dinnerware ($180). Each white porcelain set consists of six dinner plates and six salad plates that don a slim ring of color around the edges. A six-piece bowl set ($108) can be purchased separately.

Your little one can “stay warm and see in the dark” when he or she sports the Kids X-Cap Light Up Hat ($30) in pink or blue. The beanie contains a removable lamp that shines three levels of light up to four continuous hours and can be recharged via USB.

classic pieces like varsity jackets and smoking slippers, reinvented for the modern man,” such as the Tommy Logo Capsule Item Varsity Jacket ($129) and Steve Madden Smoking Slippers ($100).

Ladies who appreciate fresh floral scents will love Gucci’s Bloom Fragrance (3.3 oz. for $124). For a more whimsical present, opt for fun plus sparkle with a Bow and Drape Sweatshirt ($68-$78).

Outstanding host gifts include Thirstystone Barware ($15-$85) and Studio Mercantile Bar Games ($20-$120). Jones says that “gorgeous barware and games will help celebrate any occasion.”

Sometimes, life can feel like a movie for grownups, but children will think they’re living in one when they catch sight of FAO Schwarz’s 93-inch Giant Bear ($500) on Christmas. Jones says, “Make their wishes come true” with this supersize stuffed animal.

THE NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY MUSEUM & LIBRARY NYHISTORY STORE The New-York Historical Society Museum & Library gift store offers NYC-centric presents for all ages.

Ione Saroyan, Director of Merchandise Operations, shares her favorite items from the shop.

The Vintage Vietnam Marine Aviator’s Jacket

24

IN NEW YORK | DECEMBER 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

($230 to $270) is perfect for stylish men with a penchant for history. Referred to as the “Marine Corps Harrier Pilot’s Second Skin,” the army green jacket pays tribute to the garment worn by Navy and Marine fighter pilots from the 1950s through the 1970s.

Saroyan says she favors the Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History Tote ($19.95) because “it gives me hope.” Printed with the noteworthy phrase by Lauren Thatcher Ulrich, the purple, white and gold canvas satchel is a gentle reminder of the American suffrage movement and the women’s movement that prevails today.

Diehard fans of the Big Apple will adore the 35-by14-inch wool New York Skyline Pillow Cushion ($150) that pictures the iconic cityscape in all its glory. The wide-angle image showcases New York City from the Hudson to the East River.

For kids, the book “When Jackie Saved Grand Central” ($17.99) tells the remarkable story of how the famed first lady fought to protect one of New York’s most beloved landmarks and ultimately change history. Written by Natasha Wing with illustrations

PERA

Everything you

want to know about opera: And why you (yes, you) will love it.

Time to debunk a few false assumptions about the grandest of art forms.

By David Cote

Options for live entertainment in the city are varied, but you can easily check off the top ones: Broadway shows, a concert at Carnegie Hall, a rock band at the Beacon or maybe ballet at Lincoln Center. But what about opera? For many, opera is a forbidding realm, where you can’t understand what anybody is saying, but they say it real loud. It’s expensive, you won’t get it, it sounds boring or worse—you may laugh. Not true! After you read through our mythbusting items below, we hope you’ll treat yourself to a night at the opera. No tux required.

THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN IS THE METROPOLITAN OPERA It’s true that the Met is New York’s only opera company with its own theater (3,800 seats and lots of crystal starburst chandeliers). A $280 million annual budget means the Met dominates the landscape in terms of ads and name recognition, but it’s definitely not alone. Just as there is more to theater than Broadway, there are several small companies presenting work all year. The scrappy and irreverent troupe Opera on Tap belts high notes in bars such as the Brooklyn watering hole Barbès. Two roving companies, On Site Opera and LoftOpera, go site-specific: staging classic (and new) work everywhere, from a Brooklyn chocolate factory to the American Museum of Natural History.

Every January, the funky downtown venue HERE Arts Center and indie opera producer Beth Morrison mount Prototype, a festival devoted to experimental opera and daring hybrids. But perhaps the Met’s biggest competitor is New York City Opera. The storied company has a long and rocky history: Founded in 1943, it went bankrupt in 2013 and was resurrected by entirely new management three years later. Now, NYCO presents opera in various venues, balancing new titles with war horses such as “Tosca.”

The story of a town trying to find a rich widow a husband (pre-Match.com) is both hilarious and touching. Although it’s at the Met, Franz Lehár’s 1905 chestnut is technically an operetta, not an opera. What’s the difference? You can laugh at an operetta.

Aeneas”) and it’s good enough for Jennifer Higdon (“Cold Mountain”) today. As for new opera, American composers outstrip their European counterparts in terms of volume and popularity. Renowned poets such as Robert Pinsky and playwrights like Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage (“Sweat”) have dabbled in libretto writing. And anyway, if you do find yourself at “La Bohème” or “Don Giovanni,” it’s standard practice now to have supertitles projected on a wall or the back of the seat in front of you. If you can handle translations at the movies, you can handle them at the opera.

IT’S WAY TOO EXPENSIVE Yes, orchestra seats at the Met can make Broadway seem like a bargain. If you’re on a budget and willing to take a risk, try rush tickets, only $25 and offered daily on the Met website.

Some of the tickets are in prime locations, and they can be yours on a first-come, first-served basis for all performances (except the New Year’s Eve gala). Other than that, if you’re only there for the great music (or have a handy set of binoculars), you can purchase Family Circle and Balcony seats starting at $27 or $35. Naturally, smaller opera outfits are more affordable: $30 to $75 at January’s Prototype festival, which compares to the ranges at New York City Opera.

IT’S ALL MIDDLE-AGED, ROTUND EUROPEANS This is probably the, ahem, biggest misconception of all, that opera stars are plus-size behemoths in ridiculous robes and horned helmets. Yes, legendary diva Maria Callas struggled

FELLOW TRAVELERS Gerald W. Lynch Theater Jan 12-14

with weight loss, and American soprano Deborah Voigt didn’t hide the fact that she underwent gastric bypass surgery in 2004. But the truth is, opera sees itself as a showbiz industry in the same universe as pop and Broadway musicals, and that means looks matter. Singers are often cast to fit the role, and American training programs are turning out younger, fitter singers—who can even act! (A rarity in the “park and bark” standard of many performances.) Of course, a great voice trumps any dress size. Still: The talent pool hasn’t been this ethnically diverse and good-looking in a long time. Amerian mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard and soprano Julia Bullock are magazine-cover gorgeous, and two of the world’s hotterst tenors are Jonas Kaufmann and Juan Diego Flórez. There’s even a blog (“barihunks”) to track opera’s sexiest baritones.

IT’S ABOUT KINGS AND WIZARDS AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAL WORLD True, many of the classics of the genre—Wagner’s music dramas, Ring Cycle, Mozart’s “Marriage of Figaro” and Strauss’ “Salome”—do involve magical creatures and naughty aristocrats, but operas have evolved like the rest of culture over the past century. Just as 19th-century Western dramatists like Henrik Ibsen explored social realism, opera started focusing on ordinary folks. American opera over the decades has dramatized suburban discontent (“A Quiet Place”), a civil-rights icon (“X, The Life and Times of Malcolm X”) and the transgender experience (“As One”). Living composers and librettists know that to attract an audience, the issues must be hot and the stakes high.

A scene from the opera “Cruzar la Cara de la Luna” (To Cross the Face of the Moon).

This opera is set in 1950s Washington during the height of McCarthyism. An anti-Communist college grad enters into a clandestine affair with another man—a dangerous passion which could expose both of them.

COSÌ FAN TUTTE The Metropolitan Opera March 15-April 19 Broadway diva Kelli O’Hara (“The King and I”) has been showing off her classical chops at the Met, and we can’t wait to see her in Mozart’s naughty tale of romantic confusion.

The colorful directorial concept locates the action in 1950s Coney Island.
