dwhen BarBra streisand returned to

the new york city jazz club the Village

Vanguard for a free one-night-only concert

in september 2009, it was the hottest

ticket in town. the audience included such

luminaries as former President Bill clinton,

secretary of state hillary clinton, sarah

Jessica Parker—and 74 lucky fans who won

tickets through a lottery.

thirteen is pleased to give you a

front-row seat to this historic performance

with the broadcast premiere of Barbra

streisand—one Night only at the Village

Vanguard (Mon 8th, 8 p.m.). this special

is just one of the ways we bring you the

finest new york has to offer online, on the

air, and in the city’s parks, theaters, and

concert halls.

We’re also—quite literally!—your ticket to

Andrea Bocelli’s free central Park concert

on september 15. the internationally

beloved tenor will perform favorites from

his vast repertoire on the great lawn with

special guest artists and the new york

Philharmonic. Visit BocellicentralPark.com

for ticket and event details, and tune in

to thirteen for more information. For

a more immediate Bocelli fix, you can

enjoy andrea Bocelli: My Favorite Moments

(Fri 5th, 9:30 p.m.).

theater lovers won’t want to miss

Making war horse (Wed 10th, 8 p.m.),

a behind-the-scenes look at the ac-

claimed World War i drama from Britain’s

national theatre about an english boy

and his beloved horse. the lincoln center

theater production won five tony Awards,

including Best Play. see page 5 to learn

about a special ticket offer for thirteen

members.

We’re also proud to announce the

launch of MetroFocus, a multi-platform

local media initiative covering news, cul-

ture, and life in and around new york. look

for the MetroFocus website, online now

at thirteen.org/metrofocus, to evolve in

coming months into a mobile application

and a broadcast on both thirteen and

WliW21. designed to examine the issues

and challenges unique to life in the nation’s

biggest metropolis, MetroFocus explores

our identity as new yorkers, what draws

us here, what keeps us here in spite of it

all, and what we’d like to change.
