Prokofiev's THE GAMBLER

[Ester Murdukhayeva]

Dear all,

In anticipation of the Metropolitan Opera's spring production of Sergei 
Prokofiev's The Gambler, THE BIRCH, the nation's only undergraduate 
journal of Eastern European and Eurasian affairs, will be sponsoring a 
lecture about the opera at Columbia University. The event will begin at 
8pm, with an opening reception of tea, coffee and traditional Russian 
appetizers at 7:30pm.
Simon Morrison of Princeton University, a preeminent Prokofiev scholar, 
will deliver a lecture about the opera. Following the lecture, one 
attendee will win two orchestra premium tickets to The Metropolitan 
Opera's production of Verdi's /Ernani/.

This event is free and open to all. We are working to confirm performers 
from the Russian Chamber Chorus of New York to sing selections from the 
opera. I really hope those of you in the area will be able to attend.

If you would like to be put on the guest list, please send an email to 
THE BIRCH's Business Manager, Sierra Perez-Sparks, at 
sjp2124 at columbia.edu, with your name and affiliation. She will provide 
further details about the venue and directions.

Best,

Ester Murdukhayeva
Editor-in-Chief
THE BIRCH
