San Francisco actor Sarah Kliban is in the Candlestick Park scene in “Contagion” very briefly. All her lines were cut, but you can see her in a pale-pink beret getting interviewed by Jude Law, who plays a fringe blogger-turned-demagogue and false prophet in the 2011 pandemic film, part of which was shot in San Francisco.

California and opera go back a long way together practically to the founding of the one, though not the other.
No sooner had the masses of Forty-Niners poured into the region in search of gold than an entire industry sprang up to keep them entertained with performances of Donizetti’s “Lucia di Lammermoor” and Verdi’s “Ernani.”
As the author George Martin lays it out in superlative detail in his 1993 history “Verdi at the Golden Gate,” opera was central to San Francisco’s cultural economy during the Gold Rush. The divas were imported from Europe, but the entrepreneurs and patrons were decidedly homegrown.
Canadian Artists Model Their Signature Outfits

Like everyone, Canadian artists have been spending much of their time in pyjamas and sweats, with their best clothes hanging unworn in the closet.
Since it will still be a while before we see them onstage, we asked some of our favourite artists to put on their best outfits for a photo and they delivered glamorous shirts, retro athleisure, and even a plant pot on the head.
