Richard Paul Fink
Richard Paul Fink said he cried after he learned that “Doctor Atomic,” John Adams’s opera about the creation of the atomic bomb, had won the 2012 Grammy award for Best Opera Recording. “This never happens to me. I’m a 56-year-old opera singer and I’m thinking, Ok, how many years do I have left? To be treated to a Grammy is something else,” said the operatic baritone, who is in New York preparing to perform in...

Vera Farmiga’s career is anything but up in the air. With three films out this year — including her directorial debut, the Sundance sensation “Higher Ground” — the sky’s the limit for the Ukranian-American actress who picked up an Oscar nomination in 2010 for “Up in the Air.” Farmiga has a central role in Duncan Jones’ “Moon” follow-up “Source Code,” as well as Malcolm Venville’s rom com “Henry’s Crime,” in which she plays an actress and the love interest of star Keanu Reeves. In this wide-ranging interview, Farmiga talks about the making of “Henry’s Crime” and “Higher Ground,” the importance of film festivals to independent projects, the blueprint for what she sees as her ideal career and the causes her celebrity has helped provide public awareness of.

Hitfix: Greg Ellwood congratulates the Paramount publicity/awards folks (and we second that) for their masterful promotion of Davis Guggenheim’s education doc “Waiting for ‘Superman’,” which led them — or at least Guggenheim and the five young subjects of his film — all the way to an Oval Office meeting with President Barack Obama yesterday. Obama previously screened the film and described it as “heartbreaking” and “powerful.”
The Playlist: Ed Davis recounts the saga of Julian Schnabel’s “Miral,” which entered the awards season with a great deal of hype, then flopped at Venice, and has now had its release date pushed into 2011 by The Weinstein Company. Davis speculates that the poor response to the film was only one of two reasons for the announcement, the other being the financially-struggling studio’s limited budget for a campaign.

Every four years, on January 20th a new president is inaugurated. Every four years, roughly seven months later, the Seattle Opera presents Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen. Both events provide extravaganzas and spectacles that incite the imagination. Der Ring des Nibelungen is, however, the vastly better show. When the Seattle Opera mounts the four operas that comprise Der Ring des Nibelungen, it does so in what is as close to a festival atmosphere as America can muster. Following the custom of the Festspielhaus in Bayreuth, Germany, the Seattle Opera presents Das Rheingold on Day One, Die Walkure on Day Two, Siegfried on Day Four and Gotterdammerung on Day Six. (At Bayreuth In days of yore there was no day off between Die Walkure and Siegfried, until the late Birgit Nilsson demanded it. No one,...
