Frank Meyer, President of Sun Valley Opera said, “In addition to the perfection of her singing, she draws in the audience with her professional acting skills”. The New York Times described her voice as “powerful and clear” and the Washington Post priased her for the principal role in La Boheme at the Kennedy Center, under the direction of Placido Domingo. She was seen on the Metropolitan HD live satellite transmission to select theaters around the world and is represented by one of the most prestigious artist management firms in the world.

The Informant!
Copyright ©Warner Bros Pictures What was Mark Whitacre thinking? A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Whitacre suddenly turns whistleblower. Even as he exposes his company’s multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre envisions himself being hailed as a hero of the common man and handed a promotion. But before all that can happen, the FBI needs evidence, so Whitacre eagerly agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape recorder in his briefcase, imagining himself as a kind of de facto secret agent. Unfortunately for the FBI, their lead witness hasn’t been quite so forthcoming about helping himself to the corporate coffers. Whitacre’s ever-changing account frustrates the agents and threatens the case against ADM as it becomes almost impossible to decipher what is real and what is the product of Whitacre’s rambling imagination. The film is based on the true story of the highest-ranking corporate whistleblower in U.S. history. Rated: R 8:30 PM |

For 2009, MSP Films takes an original look at the sport of skiing. All of the skiers in the film–park rat or big mountain charger–share a common bond: the overwhelming desires to ski. Each person finds stoke in his own unique way, whether it be a double cork 1260, a deep turn on a storm day or ripping a giant AK line. Skiing is an incredibly diverse sport that offers it all. With the progressive skiing and award-winning cinematography that has made MSP famous, MSP Films takes you along for the ride deep into the experience as we share the love for the greatest sport in the world.

The Sun Valley Center for the Arts Presents:
Sir Salman Rushdie
as part of the multidisciplinary project “Outside In: Indian Art Abroad”
Thursday, February 11, 2010 at 7pm
Limelight Room, Sun Valley Resort
$30 / $40 nonmembers
Raised in India and Pakistan and educated in England, Sir Salman Rushdie is one of the most celebrated and controversial authors and critics of our time. His novel The Satanic Verses provoked a fatwa (religious edict) by Ayatollah Khomeini calling for his death, as a result of which he spent nearly a decade “underground,” seldom appearing in public. A leading proponent for free speech, Rushdie was knighted by the British government in 2007.
Tickets are ONLY available through the Sun Valley Center for the Arts.

The Sun Valley Center for the Arts Presents:
The Campbell Brothers
Saturday, December 12 at 7:30pm
Sun Valley Opera House
$20 / $30 nonmembers
The Campbell Brothers present “Sacred Steel”: African American gospel music with electric steel guitar accompanying the vocals. This tradition is just now emerging from the House of God Keith Dominion Church, where for sixty years it has been an integral part of worship. As the music moves from sanctuary to concert hall-the group has appeared at the Hollywood Bowl, the Kennedy Center and the Brooklyn Academy of Music-secular audiences are able to appreciate a performance both devotional and rocking. The Campbell Brothers present a rich variety of material from the African American Holiness-Pentecostal repertoire with a new twist: the growling, wailing, shouting, singing and swinging voice of the steel guitar, played as you have never heard it played before.
A part of the 2009/2010 Winter Performance Series, sponsored by Gail and Jack Thornton.
Tickets available ONLY through the Sun Valley Center for the Arts.

Christylez has been featured at venues not commonly associated with Hip-Hop music, such as the National Cathedral and the Kennedy Center. With versatility, clever songwriting and unbounded talent, Christylez brings a dynamic perspective to Hip-Hop. Don’t miss your opportunity to hear live Hip-Hop here in the valley!
