At 4pm on Monday, May 18th, Lakeside Little Theatre (LLT) will host the next performance of its Met Live opera season, Tchaikovsky’s lyrical Eugene Onegin. Filmed live at New York’s acclaimed Metropolitan Opera, Eugene Onegin will be projected with LLT’s state-of-the-art screen and sound system, sung in Russian with English subtitles. The story chronicles a selfish hero who lives to regret his casual rejection of a young woman’s love and his careless incitement of a fatal duel with his best friend. Tickets available at lakesidelittletheatre.com and at the box office before the performance.
In Ajijic, the Day of the Cross was not only celebrated… it was shared. Every May 3rd, the streets fill with color, faith, and tradition as families place crosses and altars outside their homes, decorated with papel picado, fruit, food, tachigual, tequila, and meaningful details that keep one of the town’s most special customs alive.
One of the most beautiful traditions is known as “lifting the Cross”: a family takes what has been placed on the altar, with the commitment to replace it the following year and add a little more. In this way, the tradition continues to grow from home to home, from family to family, and from generation to generation.
