The 92nd Street Y's recital series will bring pianist Vladimir Feltsman on Jan. 31.

The Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center will stage Don Giovanni, Boris Gudunov and Don Carlo on the December program. Mikhail Baryshnikov will appear in a program of music and dance at the City Center from Jan. 21-25. Among the numerous plays running off Broadway, That's Life is a musical about contemporary Jewish life. The Adjustment at the Jewish Repertory Theater is about a Chasidic chiroprac- tor. The Folksbeine Yiddish Theater will stage The Blacksmith's Folly, a musi- cal drama based on the Yiddish classic Yankel Der Schmid; simultaneous trans- lation will be available in Russian and English. For exhibits, the Guggenheim, at both the uptown and SoHo galleries, will show "Robert Rauschberg: A Retrospective" until early January. It is the most comprehensive show of the artist's work, containing paintings, drawings, sculpture and technology- based pieces from 50 years of creativity. At the Lower East Side Tenament Museum, the life of a Sephardic Jewish family is revealed in "Mantas and Music: The Confino Family Arrives." The newly restored apartment is based on the 1915 home of the Confino fam- ily; visitors can try out the Sephardic mantas or sleeping rugs. The museum also has a tour of a 19th century tena- ment called "Hard Times Series." The newly opened Museum of Jewish Heritage in Battery Park City has exhibits of pre-Holocaust Jewish life through post-war Jewish cultural renewal. About 2,000 photographs, 800 historical and cultural artifacts and 24 films are part of the exhibit. "Rmemebering Lubmol: Images of Jewish Community" at the Cardozo School of Law portrays a typical shtetl whose history goes back 600 years. "Artisans in Silver: Judaica Today" dis- plays handmade silver Judaica at the Yeshiva University Museum. Until Jan. 31, the museum also is showing "Silenced Sacred Space", con- sisting of photographs of Syrian syna- gogues — the artistic and architectural legacy of the 1,000-year-old Syrian Jewish community. Families visiting the Jewish Museum can enjoy the interactive exhibit "Holidays: Jewish Seasons and Celebrations" through June.
