The General is a 1926 an action-adventure-comedy made toward the end of the silent era starring Buster Keaton. It was inspired by the Great Locomotive Chase, a true story of an event that occurred during the Civil War. The story was adapted from the 1889 memoir The Great Locomotive Chase by William Pittenger.

The story follows the adventures of train engineer Johnnie Gray (Keaton), who after being rejected by the Confederate military due to his crucial civilian role as an engineer, must single-handedly recapture his beloved locomotive after it is seized by Union spies and return it through enemy lines.

The General is often ranked among the greatest American films ever made. In 1989, it was selected by the Library of Congress to be included in the first class of films for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.

The exhilarating soprano Lise Davidsen brings one of her signature roles to the Met for the first time as the mythological Greek heroine of Strauss’s enchanting masterpiece. The outstanding cast also features mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard as the Composer of the opera-within-an-opera around which the plot revolves, with soprano Brenda Rae as the spirited Zerbinetta, tenor Brandon Jovanovich as Ariadne’s lover, the god Bacchus, and Thomas Allen as the Major-Domo. Marek Janowski conducts.

Maverick Modigliani

Marking the centenary of the death of Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920), this documentary feature is the story of a remarkable talent that transcended stereotypes. From his origins in Livorno, Italy to the Paris of Picasso and Brancusi that became the center of modernity, to his love for his wife and frequent subject of his portraits Jeanne Hébuterne, the film depicts the life and work of an avant-garde artist who has become a contemporary classic.
