—March 10 at 10 a.m. and March 12 at 7:30 p.m.: Notre-dame De Paris [NR] ballet from La Scala Ballet starring Natalia Osipova and Roberto Bolle. Esmeralda, Quasimodo, Frollo and Phoebus; 4 great characters around which a highly dramatic, passionate story revolves. The Corps de Ballet underscores the dynamics almost like an ancient choir. And in the background is the silent but incumbent presence of the cathedral, both witness and actress in this drama. Notre-Dame de Paris, inspired by Victor Hugo’s novel, with music by Maurice Jarre, sets by René Allio and the renowned costumes of Yves Saint-Laurent, returns to La Scala after more than 10 years since its last performance. Once again it will be celebrating Roland Petit and his artistic vein, his ability to evoke and synthesize in bringing the essential core of the story to light. His vision brought alive by the choreography, sets, costumes and music is the culmination of his triumph in this production.

—Thursday, March 14: Citizen Hearst [NR] at 7:30 p.m. From Academy and Emmy Award nominated director Leslie Iwerks comes one of the great media success stories—the compelling and dramatic rise of one of America’s best known companies told in a new documentary, Citizen Hearst. This original feature-length documentary, narrated by Academy Award nominee William H. Macy, explores the 125-year journey of Hearst Corporation, from William Randolph Hearst’s conviction that print newspapers could boldly inform public opinion to the global impact of the company’s multimedia brands and diversified businesses today. The iconic nature of W.R. Hearst has long enthralled the public and was famously dramatized in the 1941 film Citizen Kane, starring Orson Welles. Crafted from in-depth interviews and historical footage, Citizen Hearst features both the personal stories and media milestones that have created today’s Hearst Corporation. It includes stories of daily life at Hearst’s newspapers, television stations, entertainment shows and magazines, including behind-the-scenes access to photo shoots. The film provides a rare glimpse behind the glass walls of the Hearst Tower, interviewing top magazine and fashion editors of Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Esquire and Town & Country, among others, while also traveling to San Simeon, California, for unprecedented access to the Hearst Castle and interviews with Hearst family members. The film features interviews with Oprah Winfrey, Dan Rather, Mark Burnett, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Bob Iger, Leonard Maltin, Dr. Oz and Heidi Klum, among others. Citizen Hearst chronicles the rise of American journalism and Mr. Hearst’s newspaper rivalry with Joseph Pulitzer; traces the beginnings of newsreels and films—and, later, magazine brands and cable; provides glimpses inside the personal lives of W.R. Hearst and Marion Davies (including reactions to Citizen Kane); explores the influences of media on politics through the decades; investigates Mr. Hearst’s steadfast pursuit of diversification; and examines the company’s bold commitment to building Hearst Tower in the wake of 9/11.
