Extraordinary soprano Asmik Grigorian tackles the demanding role of Cio-Cio-San, the loyal geisha at the heart of Puccini’s devastating tragedy. Tenor Jonathan Tetelman stars as the callous American naval officer Pinkerton, whose betrayal destroys her. Mezzo-soprano Elizabeth DeShong reprises the role of the steadfast maid Suzuki, and baritone Lucas Meachem is the American consul Sharpless. Acclaimed maestro Xian Zhang takes the podium to conduct Anthony Minghella’s vivid production.
Estimated runtime: 3 hours 15 minutes.
Raven Chacon: Three Songs brings together three of Raven Chacon’s projects that pay tribute to Indigenous women through sound, video, and visual work.
This refocusing on female leadership asserts Indigenous women as both keepers of memory and creators of culture. When presented in unison, these works resound the suppressed histories and present-day stories of Native resistance in the face of systemic power.
Cellicion Traditional Dance Group (Zuni Pueblo) will be dancing.
Celebrate the seasonal cycles through prayer, song, and dance with our Cultural Dance Program. Dances connect us to our ancestors, community, and traditions while honoring gifts from our Creator.
They ensure that life continues and connections to the past and future are reinforced. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center is the only place in North America to offer cultural Native American dances every week, year-round.
Free for museum members, or with admission.
Dance groups and times subject to change.
Through original documents, photographs, and artifacts, Witnessing Justice examines the challenges and importance of the Nuremberg trials and the international community’s response to Nazi crimes against humanity. This exhibit gives insight into the experience of prosecuting war crimes from the perspective of members of the legal team.
Now, you can also dive into the stories of Nuremberg through the interactive digital scrapbooks and photo albums of those who took part. NMHIM has engaged Corrales-based digital exhibit developer IDEUM to bring a dynamic new dimension to our exhibit.
On Saturday, May 11th, our Storyteller will be Channing and our book title will be Coyote Places the Stars by Harriet Peck Taylor (available on the Indian Pueblo Store website), a delightful retelling by author Harriet Peck Taylor of a Wasco Indian legend about the origin of the constellations.
Beautiful illustrations accompany this easy to follow tale of how the magic in the sky can inspire us all to explore the natural world around us.
Free admission for children and an adult family member.
