Next Thursday, Sydney Albertini will take Japan with an exhibition of her fiber works at Julien David’s Jingumae Shop through May 31.

According to Ms. Albertini, the show came out of an acquaintance that was struck with the clothing designer before he moved to Tokyo. “We have been following each other’s careers and when he opened his space in Tokyo he invited me to take over his ground floor and turn it into a world of my own.” 

Mr. David’s “focus is to unfocus on the walls and create a real three-dimensional space set up by hanging, standing, and protruding pieces,” all fiber based. There will be quilts, weavings, and multi-dimensional knit and fabric pieces.

It will be the first time Ms. Albertini has shown work in Japan. She said she is looking forward to learning more about the contemporary art scene in Tokyo to expand her appreciation of ancient Japanese art, their textiles, and pottery. “I share their love and respect for classic and very focused techniques, transforming storytelling into modern visuals with a strong relation to nature.”

The Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center will screen “Do the Right Thing,” Spike Lee’s 1989 comedy-drama set on a single day in Bedford-Stuyvesant, on Sunday at 2 p.m. at Pierson High School in Sag Harbor.

Called “culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry, the film captures the racial and ethnic diversity of the Brooklyn neighborhood and the tensions that rise and eventually explode on the hottest day of the summer. 

In addition to Mr. Lee, who plays a pizza deliveryman and whose screenplay received an Oscar nomination, the cast includes Danny Aiello, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Richard Edson, Giancarlo Esposito, Bill Nunn, John Turturro, Samuel L. Jackson, Martin Lawrence, and Rosie Perez.

Ashley Clark, the senior programmer of cinema at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, will discuss the film after the free screening.  

“I’ve been apprehensive for months about this one,” said Michael Disher about Center Stage’s upcoming production at the Southampton Cultural Center of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast,” which he is directing. 

“It’s so well known that it created an awful lot of pressure to not only do it justice, but also to do it in a way that is different from the usual incarnation, which is as a large cartoon.” He decided to focus on the romantic aspect of the story. “It truly is a beautiful and yet very simple love story. I went for more of a gothic romance.”

The objects and costumes presented many challenges. He spent months looking for people who could make the inanimate pieces. Part of Lumiere came from California, part came from Connecticut, part of Cogsworth came from Indiana, and the Beast’s mask was handmade in Ohio.

“So this has been a national endeavor of artists and artisans who looked at the piece and wanted to put their own artistic spin on it. Once all those objects were collected, I had to assemble them and, like oils, I had to paint my own canvas. It has been painstaking. But the end result is beautiful.”

The production features a cast of 21 and an eight-piece professional orchestra. “The sound should be very rich, very lush. It’s probably one of my favorite Broadway scores — a beautiful, perfect, big old Broadway show score.” As for the story, “I am presenting it as a tale, a tale as old as time.”

The cast features Marco Barrila, Daniel Becker, Michael Casper, Julie Crowley, Bethany Dellapolla, Gabriel DiFrancesco, Jonathan Fogarty, Adam Fronc, Joey Giovingo, Eli Jones, Katrina Lovett, Pamela Morris, Tom Rosante, Michaal Lyn Schepps, Anna Schiavoni, Alyssa Semken, Amanda Summers, and Darren Ottati as the Beast and Mary Sabo as Belle. Amanda Jones is the music director.

“Beauty and the Beast” will open Friday and continue through March 25, with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 2 and 7. Tickets are $28, $15 for students, and dinner-theater and brunch-theater packages are available. More information can be found at scc-arts.org.

Next up in The Met: Live in HD series is Rossini’s “Semiramide,” an opera based on Voltaire’s 1748 tragedy about the murderous Assyrian queen. It will be simulcast at Guild Hall on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Premiered in Venice in 1823, the opera became one of Rossini’s greatest successes. The Met’s production, its first of the opera in almost 25 years, features Angela Meade in the title role. Elizabeth DeShong, Javier Camarena, Ildar Abdrazakov, and Ryan Speedo Green complete the cast, and Maurizio Benini conducts. Tickets are $22, $20 for members, $15 for students.

Ten years before winning the best director Oscar for “The French Connection,” William Friedkin, then 26, was directing live television in Chicago. When he became aware of Paul Crump, who was serving a death sentence for the alleged murder of a security guard during a botched robbery, Mr. Friedkin convinced a local television station to let him tell Crump’s story.

The result was “The People vs. Paul Crump,” which will be shown on Sunday at 2 p.m. at Pierson High School as part of the Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center’s American Values series. Mr. Friedkin combined traditional documentary techniques with dramatic re-enactments of the robbery and murder, a technique that has recently become widespread. While the original station declined to air the film, it was shown to Illinois Gov. Otto Kerner, who commuted Crump’s sentence to life in prison.

An interview with Mr. Friedkin via Skype will take place after the free screening. Reservations can be made at sagharborcinema.org.

The Ludmilla Brazil Quartet will play bossa nova’s fusion of samba and jazz at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill tomorrow at 6 p.m. Ludmilla, who has been performing in the New York area for 20 years, will be accompanied by Marcello Pimenta, John Ludlow, and Felipe Sobrinho.

Bossa nova’s launch into the international musical firmament is generally credited to a 1962 concert at Carnegie Hall that featured Sergio Mendes, Joao and Astrud Gilberto, Tom Jobim, and others. The genre has remained popular and has recently experienced a resurgence in Brazil. 

Tickets are $25, $10 for members, and advance reservations have been recommended.

The pianist Misuzu Tanaka will perform a free concert of classical works by Bach, Beethoven, Janacek, and Rachmaninoff at the Montauk Library on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Ms. Tanaka has performed at prestigious concert venues throughout the world, from Gewandhaus in Leipzig to the Mozart museum in Prague to Alice Tully Hall in New York City. Her recent debut album, which features works by Janacek and Bach, was recorded live in concert on the Concertant Classics label, and two new albums will be released later this year.

Live From SAC: Hip-La-Jaz Night! will bring a mix of hip-hop, jazz, and Latin music to the Southampton Arts Center on Saturday evening at 7. The program will feature Baba Israel on vocals, Ada Rovatti on saxophone, Bill O’Connell on piano, Santi Debriano on bass, and Claes Brondal on drums.

“We want people to experience some of the best music gumbos and genres rooted in this country,” said Mr. Brondal, who organizes the music series. “Considering the rich history of the Bronx and Manhattan, jazz/salsa/hip-hop is the obvious but not famous musical family.”

Tickets are $20 and include a reception at 6:30 with sangria and small bites.

“Bach, Before and Beyond,” a music series directed by Walter Klauss, will present its second concert of the season at the Old Whalers Church in Sag Harbor on Sunday at 3 p.m.

Titled “Beacons,” the program features the Accord Treble Choir, a group of nine women whose repertoire ranges from medieval chants to Renaissance madrigals to the vast array of 20th and 21st-century composers who wrote specifically for upper voice a cappella ensembles. 

The program includes pieces about stars and the Virgin Mary, a Norwegian folk song trilogy, a spiritual, and a civil rights-era freedom song. Tickets are $20 at the door and can also be purchased at the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor.

The final program in the Madoo Conservancy’s winter lecture series will feature Christopher LaGuardia on “Our Waterways” on Sunday at noon in Madoo’s recently restored 1740 barn in Sagaponack.

Mr. LaGuardia, whose eponymous landscape architecture firm is located in Water Mill, will discuss what sustainability means within various coastal environments, present alternative methods to garden design using case studies from coastal areas, and formulate principles of design that guide the process of working in sensitive coastal habitats.

Tickets are $25, $20 for members. The talk will be followed by a reception.
