Artificial Intelligence is suddenly everywhere: in our phones, our workplaces, our health care systems, our news feeds, and even our conversations. But what exactly are we talking about when we talk about “AI”? Is it a tool, a companion, a threat, a breakthrough — or some mixture of all four? Dr. Stephanie Dick will offer a clear, accessible introduction to the current AI moment: what AI is, how we arrived here, and why recent developments feel so different from earlier technologies.

This is a free, all ages, public lecture where we will explore how AI is changing the ways we live, work, learn, create, make decisions, and relate to one another. Rather than treating AI as eithermagic or menace, Dr. Dick will invite thoughtful reflection on how we can understand it, use it wisely, and shape its role in our shared future.

Dr. Stephanie Dick is an Assistant Professor, School of Communication, Simon Fraser University and historian of mathematics and technology with a PhD from Harvard University. She is an expert on AI. Dr. Dick will explore how AI is changing the ways we live, work, learn, create, make decisions and relate to one another. Is it a tool, a companion, a threat or a breakthrough — or a mixture of all four?

Two of opera’s most extraordinary artists return to The Met: Live in HD for Verdi’s thrilling take on the immortal Shakespearean tale of the scheming couple determined to seize power at any cost. Following past triumphs in many of Verdi’s signature baritone roles, Quinn Kelsey is the Scottish king haunted by the ghosts of his murderous ascent to the throne, opposite Lise Davidsen—the world’s reigning dramatic soprano—as the power-mad Lady Macbeth, whose ruinous ambition damns them both. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium for a penetrating production by Louisa Proske, a brilliant young director making waves around the world. Rounding out the all-star cast are tenor Freddie De Tommaso as the heroic Macduff and bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green as Macbeth’s friend-turned-victim Banquo.

The Met made history in December 2006 when it presented its first Live in HD transmission to movie theaters worldwide —the abridged English-language version of Mozart’s The Magic Flute. This holiday season, the opera returns to select movie theaters for a special encore presentation.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–91) was the son of a Salzburg court musician who exhibited him as a musical prodigy throughout Europe. His achievements in opera, in terms of beauty, vocal challenge, and dramatic insight, remain unsurpassed. He died three months after the premiere of Die Zauberflöte, his last produced work for the stage. The remarkable Emanuel Schikaneder (1751–1812) was an actor, singer, theater manager, and friend of Mozart who wrote the opera’s libretto, staged the work, and sang the role of Papageno in the initial run.

Approximately 1h 55m … no intermissions.

A poignant depiction of shared humanity in the most inhumane circumstances, Puts’s grand, cinematic opera—with a libretto by Mark Campbell based on the film Joyeux Noël—has been widely acclaimed since its 2011 premiere, hailed as “an overwhelming emotive experience” by The Guardian. Silent Night receives an evocative staging by James Robinson that takes the audience directly to the battlefields of the Western Front.
