DeBartolo Performing Arts Center

A 150,000 square foot building with 177 rooms and 384 doors, the Marie P. DeBartolo Center for the Performing Arts has begun to make an impact on life at Notre Dame on the same scale as its size. Carefully designed for both public performance and for teaching and learning, the DeBartolo contains five acoustically isolated individual venues: the Judd and Mary Lou Leighton Concert Hall, the Patricia George Decio Mainstage Theatre, the Michael Browning Family Cinema, the Regis Philbin Studio Theatre, and the Chris and Anne Reyes Organ and Choral Hall. Located on the southern edge of campus, the Performing Arts Center draws the South Bend community onto campus at the same time that it serves the needs of Notre Dame students, faculty, and staff.

    The night was bitter cold, but the music and Wynton Marsalis warmed you to the core. The orchestra's interpretation of the music was beautiful, and Wynton provided wit, pizazz and a fair amount of jazz education to the mix! A must see if (when) they come back next year! Collapse

    Mon Oncle is the film where Tati's theme of conflict between the modern world and our humanity is best seen. Hulot is a man out of step with the world of machines, but meshes perfectly into the more bohemian and human world that he inhabits. The Paris that Tati shows us is a combination of a hilariously grotesque modern quarter and the crumbling, dirty, beautiful Paris that the average Parisian lives in. It's clear which world is superior to Tati. Tati's sense of play and humor are more sophisticated than those seen in modern film comedies. He passes up many opportunities for cheap laughs, and I cannot recall anybody getting hit in the testicles or any of the other cheap gags that seem to fill the screen in today's comedies. All in all, a superior film that any lover of sophisticated film should see. Collapse

    Truly, this has been one of the most fascinating movies I've seen in quite a while. The seriousness of the crimes echoed throughtout the quiet intensity of the movie. There was no loud score to dramatize the scenes, just the stark dialogue peppered with witty 50s humor. Capote was played brilliantly by Phillip Seymour Hoffman and I wouldn't be suprised if he is in the running for an award for this portrayal. When he alludes to himself and Smith coming from the same type of family except "he went out the back door and I went out the front", it really put into perspective just how much he wasn't so different from a killer. Both wanted fame; and in the end they got it, just in different ways. An excellent, excellent film. Collapse

    Perhaps the highlight of the Guinness Fleadh on Saturday on Randall's Island came at midday. There, backed only by an acoustic guitar, Tommy Makem bellowed a stentorian "Four Green Fields," the hallowed Irish leave-us-alone-with-our-beauty ballad he wrote in 1967, as the audience members pumped their hands in the air and sang in spellbound unison. ... "there is no denying that old vocal magic, which turned a whole generation onto Irish folk music, is still there." NY Times

    (Tommy) Makem never grows weary of standing before people and giving the gift of music and stories. The Daily Messenger - Steppin' Out, Canandaigua, NY

    It would be easy to mention "Four Green Fields" and leave it at that. But Makem is also a folklorist, a poet, a writer-and a musician and singer of real integrity. More and More, that's hard to come by." Tom Dunphy The Irish Voice, New York, 23 June 1999

    One of the truly seminal figures of folk music Ireland has ever produced in the last half century. Truly one of Freedom's Sons. Malcolm Rogers Irish Music Magazine May 1999

    Irish music in America has never been the same...Their songs of joy, struggle and hope made America take notice of Ireland. Irish America Magazine; Nov. 1999

    Ancient Pulsing...may be the most astonishingly beautiful fusion of Irish poetry and music ever created in a culture famous for both art forms. - The Dover Times, Dover, NH

    In a world full of volatile stocks and shady get-rich-quick schemes, a ticket to a Tommy Makem show is one of the safest investments going. Charleston Daily Mail, Charleston, WV; Oct. 13, 1999

    "...his ability to capture you with his storytelling is phenomenal, and he bounces effortlessly from recitation to song, with barely a thought to conserving his energy for his audience." Irish Voice, Vol. 13, no. 41; Oct. 6-12, 1999

    Front rank of this country’s folk performers NY Times

    One of the years best, bringing gusto to folk favorites of the pubs! Time Magazine

    Electric in-person impact! A resounding hit! As strong an attraction as has been known. Hollywood Reporter

    “Excellent!” Saturday Review

    It was a piece of theatre, a lament and a love song that came from the heart of one man and the soul of a country....Tommy Makem singing “Four Green Fields” is like what somebody once said about a Bruce Springsteen concert. “You can’t describe it. You just have to go where it takes you. Boston Globe Magazine

    A ballad that hit home with Alaskan storytellers was the tragis “Peter Kagan and the Wind,”...after singing a host of traditional songs, both haunting and joyful, Makem took the audience by surprise with Colm Gallagher’s irreverent “Bridie Murphy and the Kamikazi Pilot.” Anchorage Times

    Makem’s “Gentle Annie” remains one of his most poignant, romantic ballads....Tommy’s “Four Green Fields” leaves me with the same lump-in-the-throat feeling I get from some of the stronger musical pieces by Woody Guthrie or “Blowin’ in the Wind”-era Bob Dylan. The News World, New York

    And Makem, whether delivering a work of poetry or a song or just chatting with the crowd, has a voice that could do for the Irish what Burton’s did for the Welsh. Phoenix Gazette

    Faster than the eye can follow, Makem will go from singing “Bridie Murphy and the Kamikazi Pilot” to a recitation of William Butler Yeats. “When You are Old and Grey” in a rich baritone, made precisely for reciting poetry. Courier Post, NJ

    Makem’s dark, husky baritone gives edge to his plea for a reunited Ireland in “Four Green Fields” and becomes a gentle caress in “Gentle Annie,” both his own compositions. Hollywood Reporter
