MET OPERA, “COSI FAN TUTTE”: SATURDAY, MARCH 31, BOWIE, MD: Will depart from Security at 12PM and return to Collington around 5:15PM. The third and final collaboration between Mozart and librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte is a fascinating paradox: a frothy comedy of manners with an intensely dark take on human nature; an old story (it has antecedents in Boccaccio, Shakespeare, and Cervantes, among others) with a startlingly modern tone and a beautiful score. “Così fan tutte” was only moderately successful at its premiere and remained just outside the standard repertoire for more than a century. Così still poses unique challenges, and correspondingly unique rewards, for the public today. Every possible expression of love—from the loftiest to the basest—is explored in this extraordinary opera.

MET OPERA, “LUISA MILLER” SATURDAY, APRIL 14, BOWIE, M.D.: Will depart from Security at 11:45AM and return to Collington around 5:15PM. Luisa Miller represents a transitional moment in Giuseppe Verdi’s unparalleled career. While reminiscent of the youthful vitality that had made Verdi an international sensation, the opera also looks forward to the dramaturgical discipline and sophistication of the composer’s middle period. The story centers on the bond between a father and his daughter as they stand together against a hostile world, and much of the dramatic and psychological acumen that would define the mature Verdi is already fully apparent in this earlier work. It is an opera very much like its title character—one that impresses with genuine virtues rather than superficial flashiness. TAKE 5! JAZZ, THURSDAY, APRIL 19, WASHINGTON, DC: Will depart from Security at 3:45PM and return to Collington around 7:45PM. Relax and Take 5! with free, live jazz in the Kogod Courtyard every third Thursday. Stop by the Courtyard Café for refreshments. For added fun, borrow a board game to play during the concert. Trombonist Charles Funn leads his big band in a performance of material from the Duke Pearson Big Band, which made two studio recordings for Blue Note records. Duke Pearson, pianist, composer, and arranger, is best known for his work as both a leader and a sideman at Blue Note. Funn’s big band highlights the originality and agility of Pearson’s recordings by reinterpreting the unconventional pieces. B&O RAILROAD MUSEUM, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, BALTIMORE, MD: Will depart from Security at 9:30AM be back on the bus to return to Collington at 2:30PM.

MET OPERA “CENDRILLON” SATURDAY, APRIL 28, BOWIE, M.D.: Will depart from Security at 12PM and return to Collington


around 4:30PM. “Glorious,” raved the New York Times when Joyce DiDonato sang the title role of Cendrillon at the Royal Opera in 2011. “Her performance was thoroughly enchanting.” Now, for the first time ever, Massenet’s sumptuous take on the Cinderella story comes to the Met, with DiDonato starring in the title role. She is paired with mezzo-soprano Alice Coote in the trouser role of Prince Charming, Kathleen Kim as the Fairy Godmother, and Stephanie Blythe as the imperious Madame de la Haltière. Bertrand de Billy conducts Laurent Pelly’s imaginative storybook production.

This year's theme for National Nutrition Month® encourages us to find ways to cut back on food waste. Here are the highlights:

· Improve food security for a growing population · Feed hungry people now · Increase efficiency and reduce unnecessary expenses · Improve nutrition · Contribute to reducing climate change: food that’s harvested but not consumed

generates about 8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions annually.

What are we doing at Collington to reduce on food waste/ loss?

· We order food fresh and often: o Vegetables and fruits ordered every other day o Meats Tuesday and Friday o Seafood Everyday

· Chef Specials · Prepped vegetables and meats not served may be used in soups

If you would like further details, a handout is available outside the main dining room (opposite side of the check- in kiosk.)
