SUMMARY:Opera Saratoga Stone Soup
DESCRIPTION:STONE SOUP pairs composer Joe Illick and librettist Mark Campbell for an operatic retelling of the classic European folk tale. Their reimagining will transport audiences to Blessing\, Texas for a rocking-chair view of the comings and goings at Max’s General store. From the opera’s opening notes representing a young girl’s stomach rumblings\, through the whimsically collaborative creation of the title meal\, to its uplifting ending\, Stone Soup imparts a timeless message: we all have something to contribute and sharing makes things better for everyone. \nSTONE SOUP was commissioned by Fort Worth Opera by arrangement with The Barbara Hogenson Agency\, Inc. STONE SOUP is 35 minutes long and sung in English. \nRecommended for Grades K-6

Sales tax and service fees are included in the ticket price.\nThis event is 21+ and all guests will need valid ID to enter.\nAbout the Artist:\nEver since New York native Aries Spears was 14\, he’s been a force to be reckoned with in comedy. His quick wit\, charisma and ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him critical acclaim\, high accolades\, and above all\, a busy schedule. From being a regular on Fox’s Mad TV\, starring in feature films\, appearing on a number of national talk shows\, and continually touring the country where he continually sells out each city\, Aries’ talents are widespread as he just passed the 3 million spins played on Pandora and his podcast is one of the “Musts” in the US.\nThis past summer\, Aries guest starred in CNN’s “See It Loud” new summer series on the history of Black Television which was one of their hit docuseries of 2023\, alongside Amanda Seales\, Da’Vinchi\, Debbie Allen\, Deon Cole\, Desus & Mero\, Gabrielle Union\, Jimmie Walker\, Judge Greg Mathis\, Kevin Frazier\, Loni Love\, Lynn Whitfield\, Mo’Nique\, Tatyana Ali\, Tisha Campbell\, Vivica A. Fox and more.https://tinyurl.com/AriesCNNSeeItLoud\nAs a principal cast member on Mad TV\, Aries brought a fresh style to the already edgy program from the third through the tenth season. Some of the recurring characters include: Belma Buttons\, Bill Cosby\, Jesse Jackson\, Mike Tyson\, Walter (Crackheads)\, Reggie(Erascist)\, Dollar Bill Montgomery\, Shaquille O’Neal\, The Klumps\, Michael Jackson\, Sisqo\, Evander Holyfield\, El Diablo Negro and more. Aries also boasts a number of uproarious impersonations on the show that include James Brown\, Al Pacino\, and his childhood idol Eddie Murphy. The Aries-branded sketch “Talkin’ American” was Mad TV’s most popular bit. Aries has also found success in feature films. At 17\, after being spotted in a comedy club\, Aries landed a part in the movie Home of Angels which eventually led\nto a starring role alongside John Leguizamo in The Pest followed by the notable role as Cuba Gooding\, Jr.’s brother in Jerry Maguire. Aries’ fierce momentum paved the way from features to tv. He is presently developing a feature project based on an original character that he created on Mad TV\, as well as a thriller about a young black man immersed in hip-hop culture. Aries has made appearances on talk shows including: Loveline\, Vibe\, Keenen Ivory Wayans\, Soul Train and Late Friday. He has also lent his voice to an animated character on C-Bear and Jamal and had a recurring stint on Fox’s The Best Damn Sports Show Period\, where he created some of the show’s funniest characters during his time there.\nAries maintains a strong connection to his African roots and is involved in many charitable events\, including a number of organizations that help abused women. He feels blessed to have been able to achieve everything that he has\, but he in no way intends on stopping there.\n\nVIP Ticket Includes:\nPreferred Seating in the First Four Rows

SUMMARY:Schenectady-Saratoga Symphony Orchestra – Concert III: Voices of Freedom
DESCRIPTION:This evocative program explores the intersection of literature and music. Debussy’s “La Cathédrale Engloutie” inspired by medieval legend and Albert Le Grand’s writings\, conjures the image of a sunken cathedral rising from the sea. Schwantner’s “New Morning for the World: Daybreak of Freedom” weaves excerpts from Martin Luther King Jr.’s speeches into a stirring orchestral tribute. The concert concludes with Corigliano’s “Mr. Tambourine Man\,” a unique and powerful reinterpretation of Bob Dylan’s iconic lyrics. \nDon’t miss the pre-concert talk with Artistic Director/Conductor Glen Cortese at 2 p.m. at Proctors! It’s an excellent way to learn more about the music and an opportunity to ask questions about the performance. All are invited to attend.  \nTickets are $17–$24. Children under 18 are free when accompanied by a ticketed adult. \nRun time: 2 hours \nGuest artist bio: \nFrench soprano Mia Mandineau is quickly becoming recognized for her beautiful voice\, sensitive artistry and compelling stage presence. \nMs. Mandineau joined Detroit Opera as a Resident Artist for the 2025–26 season.

That same season\, she joined the Wolf Trap Opera Company as a Studio Artist; and performed a principal role in the world premiere of Bentz & Feng’s opera “Having Guests for Dinner.” \nIn addition to her work as a performer\, Ms. Mandineau is passionate about arts education.
