When they starred opposite each other in Manon at the Met in 2015, the New York Times said, "the temperature rises nearly to boiling every time Damrau and Grigolo are on stage together." Now they're back as opera's classic lovers, in Gounod's lush Shakespeare adaptation. The production, by director Bartlett Sher, has already won acclaim for its vivid 18th-century scenery and stunning costumes during runs at Salzburg and La Scala. Gianandrea Noseda conducts the sumptuous score.

CAR FOR SALE
 The Orcas Island Senior Center is the proud new owner of a 2005 Toyota Prius. The vehicle was left to us as a legacy gift from Marilyn Anderson. After consideration as to whether to keep the vehicle as part of our fleet, the Operations Committee has opted to sell this great commuter car and use the profits from the sales to help serve our local seniors.
Marilyn Anderson, 89, died peacefully at her Eastsound home on April 22, 2016, basking in the kind words and gestures from people she loved. Abiding by her favorite motto - "Prior planning precludes poor performance" - Marilyn left a legacy of outstanding accomplishments.
Marilyn and her partner Rachel traveled often on their wooden tugboat between Crane Island and Orcas Island where they were heavily involved in various activities and organizations. These included the Orcas library, the Orcas Island Chamber Music festival, OPALCO, the community band, OPAL Housing Trust, the Orcas Schools Musical Advocacy Group, which Marilyn helped found, the San Juan Preservation Trust and Friends of the San Juans.
It is with gifts such as these that vital organizations like the Senior Center are able to thrive. We are grateful for the generosity of so many like Marilyn who have committed their own lives to improving the lives of others in our community.
If you or someone you know is interested, the 2005 Toyota Prius has 99,512 miles and is in good condition. We are asking $5,000 or best offer.
INFORMATION: If you would like to see the vehicle or take it for a spin, please contact Arron at 376-7929 or [email protected].
