Lowcountry
Christmas
Christmas is here and once again its time when many of us go out and search for the perfect gifts for our loved ones. Many people are preparing to cook the big Christmas dinner, and many are preparing to travel near and far to visit family. There is a certain nostalgia to the smells of fresh gingerbread and pumpkin pie baking away, and of fresh pine after the Christmas tree has been brought home and is ready to be trimmed. The best thing about Christmas in the Lowcountry though is that you can spend time with your neighbors, and friends, other Beaufortonians who appreciate the same wonderful reminiscence that you feel during the Christmas season. A Night on the Town is Beaufort’s own little version of New York’s Christmas at Rockefeller Center. There is also the Christmas Parade, Beaufort’s own take on the Macy’s Parade, which is fun for all ages. Though it’s a small city Beaufort can celebrate the holidays in a big way, so pull out your coziest sweaters and your warmest winter coat and get ready for a special Lowcountry Christmas!

December 25 - Christmas
Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart. Washington Irving
December 1, 12:55pm – Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito The Met Live in HD. The virtuosic El¥na Garanãa sings Sesto in Mozart’s dramaLa Clemenza di Tito. Set in ancient Rome. Giuseppe Filianoti is the noble Tito and Barbara Frittoli is Vitellia, in this handsome revival of one of the composer’s final masterpieces. Harry Bicket conducts. December 6, 7pm – Liberal Arts Directed by Josh Radnor. Starring Josh Radnor, Elizabeth Olsen, Allison Janney, Richard Jenkins and Zac Efron. Newly single, 35, and uninspired by his job, Jesse Fisher (writer/director Josh Radnor) worries that his best days are behind him. But no matter how much he buries his head in a book, life keeps pulling Jesse back. When his favorite college professor invites him to campus to speak at his retirement dinner, Jesse jumps at the chance. He is prepared for the nostalgia of the dining halls and dorm rooms, the parties and poetry seminars; what he doesn’t see coming is Zibby (Elizabeth Olsen)—a beautiful, precocious, classical-musicloving sophomore. Zibby awakens scary, exciting, long-dormant feelings of possibility and connection that Jesse thought he had buried forever. December 8, 12:55pm – Verdi’s Un Ballo in Maschera The Met Live in HD. Director David Alden’s dreamlike setting provides a compelling backdrop for this dramatic story of jealousy and vengeance. Marcelo Álvarez stars as the conflicted king; Sondra Radvanovsky is Amelia, the object of his secret passion; and Dmitri Hvorostovsky is her suspicious husband. Kathleen Kim is the page Oscar, and Stephanie Blythe sings the role of the fortune-teller Ulrica. Fabio Luisi conducts. December 10, 7pm – Back to Blood Directed by Oscar Corral. Starring Tom Wolfe. Few men have changed the course of American storytelling in the way that author Tom Wolfe has done. He revolutionized writing in the 1960s with creative non-fiction and new journalism and perfected the reported novel with achievements like A Bonfire of the Vanities. But Wolfe has remained an elusive literary figure. Until now. This documentary, the only film ever made about Wolfe, chronicles how he conducted his research in Miami for his upcoming novel, Back to Blood. It is not only a peak inside the creative process of a master artist, but a study in how a great American writer has persisted in his craft for half a century. Tom Wolfe has taken on perhaps the most complex subject of his career, Miami’s exotic free-for-all, teeming with immigrants and ambition. For his fans and admirers, Tom Wolfe Gets Back to Blood opens a window into the mind and unequalled creative process used by Wolfe to carefully craft his newest novel. December 14, 7pm – Fitzgerald Family Christmas Written and Directed by Edward Burns. Starring Kerry Bishé, Connie Britton, Edward Burns, Heather Burns, Dara Coleman, Brian D'Arcy James. With The Fitzgerald Family Christmas, Burns returns to the working-class, Irish-American roots of The Brothers McMullen. Reuniting with McMullen co-stars Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights), and Mike McGlone, along with Noah Emmerich (Little Children, Beautiful Girls) and Kerry Bishé (Newlyweds, Red State), Burns seamlessly weaves an ensemble story of adult siblings dealing with the desire of their estranged father (Ed Lauter, The Artist, The Longest Yard) to return home for Christmas for the first time since he walked out on his family 20 years ago. Family rifts emerge, and like with any family, Christmas brings a mixed bag of complicated emotions and dynamics. Alliances form, old wounds are reopened or glossed over, and the possibility for a new hope and forgiveness emerges. December 15, 12:55pm – Verdi’s Aida The Met Live in HD. The Met’s unforgettable production of Verdi’s ancient Egyptian drama stars Liudmyla Monastyrska as the enslaved Ethiopian princess caught in a love triangle with the heroic Radamès, played by Roberto Alagna, and the proud Egyptian princess Amneris, sung by Olga Borodina. Fabio Luisi conducts. December 18, 7pm – The Nutcracker Columbia City Ballet . With Tchaikovsky’s beautiful score, with its dreamy waltzes and spirited mazurkas, brings to life the magical tale of Clara and her nutcracker and all the wonderful and colorful characters that visit her dreams spring to life.
