Join us for Renesan presentations at Sky Midtown!

The greatest comic opera you’ve probably never heard of or seen is Otto Nicolai’s The Merry Wives of Windsor, an ensemble comedy from 1849 with a text that closely follows Shakespeare’s play. It overflows with lyrical Italianate melodies, boasts a witty, richly Germanic orchestration, and features act finales worthy of Mozart. The many comic elements are handled with a deftness and charm unequaled by any other German composer of the era.

Mark Tiarks has given many Renesan presentations on film, theater, classical music, and opera, and has won multiple national and state awards for his writing on the same subjects for The Santa Fe New Mexican. 

Coffee and pastries from La Rana Coffee and classic movie theater concessions from Sky Midtown will be available in the lobby.
