Terry Slade: Dreams and Apparitions On view April 16 through October 2
he Museum of Art proudly announces the exhibition, Terry Slade: Dreams and Apparitions, opening with a reception on April 16. The centerpiece of the show is the installation titled Mantra for the Survival of the Earth, commissioned specifically for the Edward Wales Root Sculpture Court. Mantra is an extraordinary mobile sculpture composed of 365 richly colored fused-glass disks and measuring 14 feet in diameter. Museum visitors may view the sculpture from multiple levels under varying conditions of natural light, which promises to create an experience of immeasurable beauty. The exhibition continues in Gallery One South with drawings and smaller glass sculptures by Slade.
T
With Mantra for the Survival of the Earth, Slade explains, “The circles are made of glass, a beautiful yet fragile material that reflects, refracts, and reconstitutes light. The glass is used to emphasize the fragility of our existence on the third planet from the sun. For millions of years the earth has rotated on its axis every 24 hours while orbiting our sun at 64,000 miles per hour, completing one solar year every 365 days. We are suspended in the vacuum of space at a nearly constant distance of 93 million miles from the sun, which is our only source of light.”
Terry L. H. Slade is Chair of the Department of Art and Art History at Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York, where he has been Professor of Art and Sculptor in Residence since 1983. Slade has had more than 100 solo-artist exhibitions throughout the United States and residencies and exhibitions in Great Britain, Italy, France, Spain, and Japan. Slade’s work is represented in private and public collections in the United States, Japan, and Europe. Artist’s rendering, Mantra for the Survival of the Earth
A reception in the Edward W. Root Sculpture Court is set to honor Terry Slade in conjunction with artists in the exhibition Elemental.

The Metropolitan Opera Comes to The Cinema Events Series Through Live Broadcast
he Cinema Events series at the MWPAI, sponsored by Bank of Utica, will feature a variety of live and pre-recorded cultural programs, including exhibitions, lectures, and live opera simulcasts. This new series will officially premiere in September 2016 with a full schedule of events. In the meantime, we are pleased to offer the following live broadcasts from The Metropolitan Opera in New York.
T
Tickets for The Met: Live in HD are $24 for MWPAI members, $28 for general admission, and $14 for students, and are available by calling the Performing Arts Ticket Office at 797-0055 or 800-754-0797. Tickets are also available online at mwpai.org.
Roberto Devereux Gaetano Donizetti
Saturday, April 16, 12:55 p.m. Approximate HD run time: 3:46
Soprano Sondra Radvanovsky takes on the extraordinary challenge of singing all three of Donizetti’s Tudor queen operas in the course of a single season, a rare feat made famous by Beverly Sills—and not attempted on a New York stage since. In this climactic opera of the trilogy, she plays Queen Elizabeth I, forced to sign the death warrant of the nobleman she loves, Roberto Devereux. Tenor Matthew Polenzani is Devereux, and mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča and baritone Mariusz Kwiecien complete the principal quartet in the bel canto masterpiece, conducted by Donizetti specialist Maurizio Benini. As with the earlier Anna Bolena and Maria Stuarda, the production is by Sir David McVicar who, with this staging, completes an enormously ambitious directorial accomplishment.
Elektra Richard Strauss
Saturday, April 30, 12:55 p.m. Approximate HD run time: 2:10
The genius director Patrice Chéreau (From the House of the Dead) didn’t live to see his great Elektra production, previously presented in Aix and Milan, make it to the stage of the Met. But his overpowering vision lives on with soprano Nina Stemme— unmatched today in the heroic female roles of Strauss and Wagner—who portrays Elektra’s primal quest for vengeance for the murder of her father, Agamemnon. Legendary mezzo-soprano Waltraud Meier is chilling as Elektra’s fearsome mother, Klytämnestra. Soprano Adrianne Pieczonka and bass-baritone Eric Owens are Elektra’s troubled siblings. Chéreau’s musical collaborator Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts Strauss’s mighty take on Greek myth.
