- Robert Lepage is the 2012 Eugene McDermott Award in the Arts recipient.
This event offered a fascinating glimpse into Lepage's thinking, as he discussed his work with Peter Gelb, General Manager, Metropolitan Opera. The 90-minute program, Technology in Stagecraft and Storytelling, began with a discussion of Lepage's new production of the Ring cycle for the Metropolitan Opera but spanned Lepage's extraordinary body of work -- from film to one-man performances, Shakespeare to Peter Gabriel concerts, Cirque du Soleil productions to spectacular architectural projections. The talk included a multimedia presentation showcasing the sophisticated sets for the Ring cycle as well as many other productions, including The Image Mill, an outdoor illumination in the Québec harbor that used the surface of the Bunge grain elevators as a giant screen. The discussion of Lepage's diverse career as a multidisciplinary performance and media artist highlighted his versatility in a full range of theater craft: from directing to acting, to filmmaking and writing plays. Philip Khoury, Associate Provost and Ford International Professor of History, introduced the panelists and moderated questions from the audience - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Mr. Lepage is one of the very best film makers and actors--I had no idea he was a god of theatre and music, too. He is part of why Canada is a great country.

Opera 'needs' monitors in the pit so that they can see what's going on up on the stage. . .definitely one underneath the conductor's music stand. (Quebec City?) . . . THE Opera House . . . 8,000' of respect.
Are those the ivories of a piano with Johnny going in to steal some more Handel?
