Wagner goes Kubrick! Phenomenon that is Tristan und Isolde at the Met right now is a complete sellout and will go down in the books as a critical and artistic success beyond. Slide 1: curtain call following bows for @lisedavidsen @spikelmyers and @speedogreen in their triumphant performances. Set by genius @esdevlin Slide 2: this house so completely sold out and energy was palpable! slide 3: dinner anyone? Slides 4 and 5: I have NEVER seen a line like this extending to B’way pre-show. Congrats to the beautiful seamless collab of all the artists but mostly to @yuvalsharon_nyc for his intelligent direction that satisfied both the cognoscenti and those of us yearning for new ways to present masterpieces and of course @nezetseguin for the exquisite music floating up to the balcony. That pit! What otherworldly sounds… congrats @metopera Happy Hit! by @mattcast1

Thrilled to announce MALLORY’S GHOST, a film I cast, will be premiering at SXSW!! It’s the brainchild of @nick.canellakis_cellist and @arabellasoz , who have been making hysterical shorts for IG for a while and finally wrote/directed a feature! @claire.sin0 produced. Nick is the world-renowned cellist who I discovered making snarky intro comments before a concert a few years back and with a Casting Director‘s eye got him a theatrical agent and sent him to a great acting coach to further develop his incredible comfort in front of a camera. There he met talented and gorgeous Arabella as a scene partner, and the rest is history. Loved how this magic unfolded! Co-starring the amazing @delphiharrington and score includes award-winning @michael_stephen_brown 🎹🎻 #casting #sxsw #film #fantasy #comedy by @mattcast1

What to say when your favorite creative visionary passes away?? RIP Robert Wilson. From his monumental pieces with @philipglass at BAM in the 80’s “the CIVIL warS” (sic) and EINSTEIN ON THE BEACH, to his most recent MARY SAID WHAT SHE SAID starring @isabelle.huppert , this all-encompassing artist gave the world a new way to see. Collabs with @davidbyrneofficial @laurieandersonofficial and @willemdafoesact were part of his visual and musical context. His stark and beautiful posed tableaux shocked and excited theatergoers with kabuki inspired makeup and Rothko-like lighting fields that moved glacially and always left me thrilled, moved, and leaving the theater with all my synapses electrified. Monumental loss, but what an incredible original.
