Sacred Music Notre Dame, the Singing Irish of Sacred Music at Notre Dame, members from the Notre Dame Children's Liturgical Choir, and the Sacred Music Festival Orchestra perform Haydn's The Creation (1798). Drawing from the books of Genesis, Psalms, and John Milton's epic Paradise Lost to represent the six days of creation, Haydn was inspired to compose his first oratorio, now an iconic Western masterwork, after a Handel festival including Messiah. His colorful, imaginative, and tremendously satisfying choruses are favorites among choral singers and music lovers. GET TICKETS

Many ways exist to give shape to the phenomenon that was Frozen, from the $1,250,000,000 it grossed at the box office to its fast adaptation to a theme park ride and Broadway musical. Perhaps most telling is the sheer volume of folks who can sing the soundtrack with little baiting. As such, our screening will be the sing-along version of Frozen so warm up those pipes for a group karaoke experience. Nothing else is added to the story known well other than the lyrics as subtitles; it's still sisters Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel) trapped in an unending winter with Anna venturing with Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and friends to break the spell keeping them below zero.

Bach, Charles-Marie Widor, Dieterich Buxtehude, Sor María Clara de Oaxaca, Elisabeth Lutyens, works from the time of the American Revolution, and more, demonstrating how the organ, as Widor famously said, can truly bring about a "vision of eternity."

Known as a master of homage and genre, director Peter Strickland has focused on Jess Franco with his The Duke of Burgundy and James Bidgood with his Black Narcissus. What seems to be Strickland's fastball, though, is channeling his love for and appropriating Italian giallo films. As he would later do in In Fabric, which is essentially Suspiria set at a Macy's, Strickland quotes giallos while adding his own notes of camp and extremes. Here, an English foley artist (Toby Jones) is brought to Rome to complete the sound for an Italian horror film in 1970s Rome. Completing the jobs, however, may cost him both his sanity and his life.

Inspired by the films of Ingmar Bergman and the Mary Kay Letourneau scandal, May December has at its core the details of the teacher-student relationship with a dollop of Natalie Portman bringing Persona into the mix. The film follows Elizabeth (Portman), an actress performing background research for a film about Gracie (Julianne Moore) and Joe (Charles Melton), who are now married after their relationship began when she was 36 and he was 13. As Elizabeth probes the marriage for inspiration for her film, she begins to realize what rests under the surface for both Gracie and Joe is far more complicated than she expected. GET TICKETS

The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets, like Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and Fozzie Bear, weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits from Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future.
