The Puccini opera “La Rondine,” a bittersweet love story that opened in Monte Carlo in 1917, is up next in The Met: Live in HD series at Sag Harbor’s Bay Street Theater, beginning at 12:55 p.m. on Saturday. Angel Blue, a soprano, stars as Magda, a French courtesan and mistress of the wealthy Rambaldo. When Ruggero, sung by the tenor Jonathan Tetelman, arrives in Paris, he and Magda fall in love, and she decides to leave her life of excess.
Speranza Scappucci conducts the production, which has been staged by Nicolas Joel. The action moves from the allure of Paris nightlife to a dreamy vision of the French Riviera.
Tickets are $35, $31.50 for students and children.
Bay Street will shift gears on Saturday evening at 8 with “The Absolute Adele Tribute,” which features Jennifer Cella, a singer-songwriter best known for her work as lead vocalist with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
The program will include such Adele hits as “Rolling in the Deep,” “Set Fire to the Rain,” and “Easy on Me.” Ms. Cella not only sings the songs but plays the role of Adele, explaining the backstories of the tunes and interacting with the audience, as Adele does in her concerts.
Tickets are $37 and $47 in advance, $47 and $57 the day of the show.
The theater has also scheduled two new workshops. “Public Speaking —- I Love It!”, set for Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., will be led by Angelika Ahrens, who presented business news on Austrian television for 20 years and danced her way to the finals of that country’s “Dancing With the Stars.” A qualified yoga teacher, she will share knowledge, tips, and tricks for poised public speaking.
Ms. Ahrens will be back at the theater on April 27 at 10 a.m. to teach “How to Create a Short Film (With Your Phone).” Since moving to New York in 2017, she has created television reports and documentaries, and will enable participants to improve the quality of their videos and learn how television professionals work.
Each workshop is $150.
