May 31, 2018: My Fair Lady Theater Benefit
Thursday, May 31, 2018, 7 pm
Lincoln Center — Vivian Beaumont Theater
150 West 65th Street, New York, NY 10023
Reception at P.J. Clarke’s will follow the show.
My Fair Lady returns in a gorgeous new production from Producer Lincoln Center Theater and Director Bartlett Sher won Tonys for their revivals of South Pacific and The King And I, so this highly-anticipated star of the spring season is selling out quickly. The cast features Lauren Ambrose (of HBO’s Six Feet Under), and luminaries of the British stage Harry Haddon-Paton (of Downton Abbey and The Crown, making his NY stage debut), and Dame Diana Rigg (recently of HBO’s Game of Thrones and PBS’ VIctoria). Choreography is by Christopher Gatelli, Tony-winner for Newsies.
Invite your fair lady (or gentleman) and treat your eyes and ears to Lerner & Loewe’s timeless story and wonderful score, including “I Could Have Danced All Night”, Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” and “On the Street Where You Live.”
After the show, “we’ll have a whopper, pull out the stopper…” Join us across the street at “the pub” to raise a glass with friends!
Reception will follow at P.J. Clarke’s.

“The Magic Flute” by Clarion Opera to Benefit Christodora March 11 & 13, 2017 – 7:30pm
Not to be missed! The award-winning Clarion Orchestra will present their first-ever opera production, Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), for 2 performances only, in the magical setting of the theater at El Museo del Barrio on Fifth Avenue and 104th Street.
All ticket proceeds will benefit Christodora!
Clarion’s semi-staged production by celebrated Canadian director Alain Gauthier stars some of opera’s most exciting rising talents. Led by world-renowned conductor Steven Fox, this production of Die Zauberflöte takes inspiration from early productions of the opera, particularly the legendary 1815 Berlin performances designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. A stellar cast, The Clarion Orchestra on period instruments, and The Clarion Choir amid the stunning murals of the Theater at the Museo del Barrio will surely make for a magical night.
Join us as a Patron ($250) and enjoy a special pre-performance cocktail reception on March 13th, plus prime seating. Please reply ASAP as there is limited availability at this level. Other tickets range from $35-$75.
To purchase tickets, call the Christodora office at (212) 371-5225 or Judith Rivkin at (917) 620-1615

Contributions help our youth to discover, preserve and celebrate nature — from the Bronx River to the Berkshires and beyond. Your tax-deductible contribution will go directly to supporting and educating NYC youth, providing them the chance to learn and grow through experiences with nature and adventures in the great outdoors.

All our programs rely on scholarships and no child is ever turned away due to financial hardship.
