LOLA presents the full concert premiere of the new chamber opera by composer Peter Stopschinski and playwright Terry Galloway with Mezzo Soprano Liz Cass as Dinah LeFarge.
Lardo Weeping is a wonderful journey through the mind of recluse-genius Dinah LeFarge, a clever, intellectual, quite sexual woman of independent means who seldom ventures outside her apartment and refuses to answer her door unarmed. Dinah finds herself with only five dollars left to her name but claims to have otherworldly resources and hints at a miraculous transformation for her and her audience. Dinah takes us through her many ideas and schemes and through this storytelling we are introduced to many feminist icons including Emily Dickenson, Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, Emma Goldman, Ann Landers, and others. We are treated to stories about her past employment as a convenience store clerk, her food journaling, and Dinah’s ongoing obsession with th

Savor your Moments. Austin City Council on Thursday approved recommendations from the Arts Commission to officially remove several pieces of public art from the city s collection, including one along Lamar Boulevard that s caused plenty of conversation over the years.
You might not know the name of Moments, an artwork by Austin artist Carl Trominski, but you ve surely seen it: a series of 6-foot-high reflective blue panels on the retaining walls of the section of Lamar that passes under the Third Street and Union Pacific Railroad bridges.
The piece, installed in 2003 and found on the drive between Sandra Muraida Way and Fifth Street, was commissioned by the Art in Public Places Program. Council members on Thursday approved the deaccession of Moments. According to Austin public radio station KUT, which first reported the news, that means the piece can be removed and transferred to the hands of the city Transportation Department.
