Art
Only Four Days Left until Unknown Territory:
Photographs by Ray K. Metzker, 1957-1983 closes
at the Museum of Fine Arts. This is the first major
retrospective of the work of Mr. Metzker, who, for
three decades, has explored photographic form. The
exhibition includes 180 images from 11 major
periods in Mr Metzker's career. On display in the
Wiess and Upper Jones Galleries, the exhibition
closes on January 29. Call 526-1361 for more
information.
Also at the MFA, through February 25, is Abstract
Objectives: Twentieth-Century Painting and
Sculpture in the Upper Brown Gallery. Over 60
works are featured in this exhibition from the
permanent collection of the MFA. From Cubism to
Minimalism, the exhibition surveys a range of
approaches to abstraction. Artists featured include
Picasso, Leger, Brancusi, and Eduardo Chillida. As
always, call 526-1361 for more information.
Opera
Ken Russell's triumph, his production of Puccini's
Madame Butterfly will have its final performance
tonight at 8 p.m. in Jones Hall. This fantastic
production (see review in Tuesday's Thresher) is a
must for any operagoer. You can call 227-ARTS for
tickets if there are any left. This version primarily
uses the 1904 Milan score rather than the more
common 1906 Paris. If you can't get tickets to this,
you can get them for Die Zaubejloete in February.

Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony, No. 6 in F
Major, Op. 68 with Lawrence Foster conducting.

and the Juilliard School. Performance times are 8
