Perla Battala
As a Grammy-nominated singer and touring band member with the legendary songwriter Leonard Cohen, Perla Batalla knew there was much of Cohen’s body of work she still wanted to perform and record.
Cohen’s passing in November 2016 reaffirmed Batalla’s mission of sharing the lesser-known songs of Canada’s poet laureate to a younger public mostly familiar with the well-covered, “Hallelujah.”
Battal will perform in Fallon on Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. at the Oats Park Arts Center, 151 E. Park St. Box office, Arts Bar and galleries open at 6 p.m.
Tickets are members, $17, and nonmembers, $20. Youth and students with valid identification are $10. Tickets are available at Jeff’s Digitex Printing or call the Churchill Arts Council at 775-423-1440
For information, call 775-423-1440 or go to info@churchillarts.org.
Perla Batalla in the House of Cohen: Songs of Leonard Cohen features selected songs and rare personal anecdotes that serve to reveal the timelessness of Cohen’s art through Batalla’s signature cross-cultural style. Having recorded and toured with Leonard Cohen for over 10 years on multiple world tours, Batalla launched her solo career with Cohen’s encouragement.
Since then she has recorded seven albums, been featured in film and television, and performed and recorded with artists such as Lou Reed, k.d. lang, John Cale, Sonny Rollins, Jackson Browne, Duquende, Luz Casal, Laurie Anderson, David Sandborn and George Duke.

WNMTC presents Holiday Inn
Talk about a spectacular way to start off your celebrations!
A huge production numbers will have you tapping your feet from Thanksgiving through Easter.
If you don't have your tickets yet for Irving Berlin's exciting Holiday Inn, you'll want to pick out your seats soon.
Let the Western Nevada Musical Theatre Company kick off your holiday season with this beloved classic freshly reimagined for the Broadway stage. The show plays in 10 performances at the Carson City Community Center on weekends Nov. 4-10.
A review of the recent Broadway production in CurtainUp magazine called the show a “trip back to sheer old-fashioned good-time entertainment.”
The celebrated 1942 film has been remade into a blockbuster musical theatre production: Jim leaves a struggling song-and-dance trio to settle down at a farmhouse in Connecticut. When he can't pay his mortgage, he brings in his Broadway buddies and turns the farmhouse into a theater with show-stopping performances to celebrate each holiday, from New Year to the Fourth of July.
Just when he meets the love of his life, Jim’s best friend lures her away to dance in Hollywood, leading to explosive dance routines, plenty of comedy, and gorgeous ballads.
This Irving Berlin classic includes “Shaking the Blues Away,” “Heat Wave,” “Blue Skies,” “Cheek to Cheek,” “It’s a Lovely Day Today,” Easter Parade,” and, of course, “White Christmas,” animated by a 14-piece professional orchestra.
Tickets are $25 and $28. Buy your tickets at https://ci.ovationtix.com/36003.
