Buckwheat Zydeco, February 29th

Many millions witnessed the excitement when Jimmy Fallon chose him to open the final episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon: The show opened “cold” with a tight close up of Buck’s accordion, then – joined by Fallon on guitar and backed by the Roots – they kicked off a rousing rendition of “On A Night Like This.” World Cafe Live at the Queen, Wilmington.

OperaDelaware presents A Preview of The Four Tenors, March 4th

Join us at the Smyrna Opera House for a shortened preview performance of OperaDelaware’s upcoming presentation of The Four Tenors. You remember the famous Three Tenors concerts from the 1990’s and early 2000’s. Domingo, Pavarotti and Carreras, were led by Zubin Mehta in some of the most widely viewed opera performances of our lifetime. We have a much smaller venue than the Baths of Caracalla in Rome, but we’re adding a FOURTH tenor! Join music director, Jeffrey Miller, and four of our favorite tenors – Gary Seydell, Tim Augustin, Nicholas Simpson and Jeffrey Halili as we see who can sing the loudest, longest and highest!

Around The World Film series presents ‘Wondrous Boccaccio’, March 2nd

The Black Death rages through the city of Florence in the year 1348. To escape the horror, a group of aristocratic young men and women journey to a country estate where they regale each other with stories. In the interlude between stories, they romp through the countryside reaffirming their love of life. Based loosely on the famed medieval text The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio, this historical drama is a visual tribute to the tales that emerged from one of the darkest periods in Italian history. Metropolitan Community Church, Rehoboth Beach.
