Beethoven’s
“Pastoral”

The Art of Jewelry

created a signature look in his designs
by combining the seemingly paradoxical
influences of Art Nouveau and Modernism.
At 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 31, he will
speak on the Art of Jewelry Through
History: A Jeweler’s Perspective. The
lecture will draw on examples of jewelry
through the ages (including this c. 1935
Georg Jensen brooch), examining them
as both adornment and as an expression
of art within the context of society and
culture. $10. Birmingham Bloomfield Arts
Center, Birmingham. (248) 644-0866;

ISN’T IT ROMANTIC?
The classic story ballet The Sleeping
Beauty — beautiful princess Aurora is
awakened from her cursed sleep by the
kiss of a handsome prince — premiered

The Sleeping Beauty

on stage 125 years ago in St. Petersberg,
and it is still a draw today, as evidenced
by its highly anticipated run at the
Detroit Opera House, March 31-April 3. A
co-presentation of the Michigan Opera
Theatre and University Musical Society,
the American Ballet Theatre’s production
is choreographed by Marius Petipa with
staging and additional choreography
by ABT Resident Choreographer Alexei
Ratmansky (his father was Jewish).
Superstar dancers (including Gillian
Murphy, who will be available for a meet-
and-greet following the Sunday, April
3, performance), gorgeous costumes
(inspired by Leon Bakst), opulent sets
— and Tchaikovsky’s exquisite score —
makes for ballet on the grandest scale
possible. $29-$149. (313) 237-7464;

I say — watch the show — but here’s
a sidelight that’s not in the episode
that may enhance your viewing.
Hoffman has talked about his secular
upbringing before. In 2003, he told
author Abigail Pogrebin that the
pivotal event in his Jewish identity
was when he met and married his
wife, Lisa Hoffman, now 61, in 1980.
They have four now-adult children.
Lisa’s strong Jewish background made
a huge difference in Dustin’s life. He
told Pogrebin: “My wife changed
everything. Two sons bar mitzvahed,
two daughters bat mitzvahed.” He also
told Pogrebin about his many candid
conversations about his faith with the
family’s “cool” rabbi.
The March 1 Roots episode, which
featured Julianne Margulies, 49,

Hoffman on Roots

made a similar point. In 2007, she
wed Keith Lieberthal, now 43, a
(very handsome) attorney who grew
up in Ann Arbor, the son of political
scientist Kenneth Lieberthal, 73, a
former U-M professor (1983-2007).
Margulies said that she knew little
about Judaism until “I married a
Jewish man, we had a Jewish wedding
… got married under a chuppah, and
I really enjoyed talking to the rabbi
about all the things we’re doing with
this bond — and we’re raising our son
Jewish. I feel like I came back to my
Jewish roots through my marriage.”
(These Roots interviews can be viewed
online. Simply Google “Finding Your
Roots” and “Hoffman” or “Margulies.”
