Some talented local performers will be at this month's Classical Tuesdays in Old Town.
Baritone Charles Robert Stephens, Tenor Gino Lucchetti and Tanya Stambuk on piano will perform at the 7 p.m. concert on Dec. 9.
Stambuk is a terrific local pianist, UPS professor and national performer. Stephens is a wonderful opera singer who gave up New York to live on Fox Island. This should be a great recital, and this concert series is well worth supporting.
The concert, “Wine & Song”, is at Connelly Law Offices, 2301 N. 30th St., Tacoma. Tickets are $28. There will be wine and treats.
Classical Tuesdays is normally a free chamber music series and the funds from December's concert will benefit the free shows.
For tickets and information: 253-752-2135

They’ve gone and restored the “Godfather” movies and the results, by all accounts are spectacular. “These films haven't looked this good since the first week they played in theaters,” raved Newsweek’s Malcolm Jones. “Robert A. Harris’s painstaking digital restoration of the first two “Godfather” films is stunningly beautiful,” effused blogger Dave Kehr, who writes a DVD column for the New York Times.
You maybe perhaps ought to go and check out what all the shouting is about. Which is to say, go see these movies the way they were meant to be seen: On the big screen. (And I don’t mean no stinking in-home plasma thingy, either.) The SIFF Cinema theater at the Seattle Center will be showing “The Godfather” and “The Godfather: Part II” Dec. 19-Jan. 1.
The theater is at 21 Mercer St., McCaw Hall, Seattle Center. For showtime information, go to: boxoffice@siff.net
