Portland's Alberta Rose Theatre presents one of the all-time greats -- legendary Stax recording artist and session keyboardist Booker T. Jones. It can be argued that it was Jones who set the cast for modern soul music and is largely responsible for its rise and enduring popularity. On classic Stax hits like "Green Onions," "Hang 'Em High," "Time Is Tight," and "Melting Pot," the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Musicians Hall of Fame inductee, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and winner of four Grammy Awards pushed the music's boundaries, refined it to its essence and then injected it into the nation's bloodstream.

Powerhouse American baritone Stephen Powell, who the "Wall Street Journal" praised for his "rich, lyric baritone, commanding presence, and thoughtful musicianship," is back to perform the title role in the Portland Opera's latest production of Verdi's "Rigoletto" at Keller Auditorium. The revenge-filled jester at the center of Victor Hugo's famed drama encourages the lecherous duke he serves to seduce a young woman, resulting in a curse and disaster for Rigoletto's own beautiful daughter. Verdi's moving masterpiece boasts the famous tune "La donna è mobile," an instant hit that was sung throughout the streets and canals of Venice almost immediately after the opera's 1851 premiere, and has since been heard everywhere from "The Planet of the Apes" and "Grand Theft Auto" to "The Simpsons."
