Alexander Nevsky
There is a showing of Sergei Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky at Bass tomorrow and Saturday. The movie is accompanied by the Austin Symphony and should be quite the experience. I got us tickets for Friday, so this is going to be one busy and cultured weekend.
There is something to be said about Soviet-era choral music--it's like Carmina Burana on Eastern European steroids. And it probably helps if one doesn't understand the lyrics.
