GILDA.
Rigoletto's daughter.
It’s an opera. But don’t let that scare you. The storyline is easy to
follow. The costumes are vibrant and colorful. The singing...well these
opera voices are some of the best you’ll ever hear. Plus, it’s presented by
MSC OPAS, the same organization that brought you RENT last year.
MSC OPAS continues the Main Stage season by presenting an Italian-style
tragedy on a grand scale with RIGOLETTO. To be performed by the
distinguished Opera Verdi Europa, RIGOLETTO tells a touching story
between a devoted father and a loving daughter. Only - their story turns
tragic when she falls in love with the Duke and under the curse of a
mysterious Count.

Dave Matthews Band stages fre^
concert in NYC’s Central Park
By Madison J. Gray
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Dave Matthews band kept
tens of thousands of fans on their feet at a free
concert in Central Park as part of a fund-raiser for
music programs in the nation’s largest public
school system.
The concert was sponsored by America Online,
which has held other fund-raisers and donated $1
million to New York City schools. AOL handed
out 70,000 free tickets before the concert through
its Web site and on the streets.
With its brand of funk, jazz and worldbeat
fusion, the band entertained the crowd with hits
like “Where are You Going" and “Two Step." The
concert Wednesday followed in the tradition of
Diana Ross, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel,
Barbara Streisand and Garth Brooks, who also

AFI honors Charlton Heston
LOS ANGELES (AP) — And the first-ever
Charlton Heston award goes to ... Charlton
Heston.
The American Film Institute announced
Wednesday it has presented Heston with the
new award named in his honor, intended to
acknowledge people who have made distin
guished contributions to movies and television
and the AFI itself.
Heston, who has been diagnosed with
Alzheimer’s disease, received the award at his
home Tuesday.
“For decades, he has been a major presence
in movies and television around the world, and
his strong spirit of commitment to AFI lives on
through this honor,” said Howard Stringer, AFI
board chairman.
Heston, who turns 80 next week, was AFI
board chairman from 1971-82 and AFI presi
dent from 1983-2002. He also was president of
the Screen Actors Guild from 1965-71.
Heston won the best actor Academy Award for
1959’s “Ben-Hur” and received an honorary
Oscar in 1978 for his humanitarian efforts.
Last year, Heston became an unwitting cast
member in another Oscar winner, Michael
Moore’s gun-control critique “Bowling for
Columbine.” Heston allowed Moore into his
home for an interview, curtly walking off when
Moore began confronting him with blunt ques
tions about gun violence.
