After the bursts of concert ac- tivity that began in mid-October and lasted almost till Christmas, the Angela Peralta Theater seems to be taking a breather for much of January. However, the Pacific Pearl’s deadline was early for this edition, and more events probably will be added as time goes along. The only event that has been scheduled at this writing — and that tentatively, for Jan. 18 — is a performance of “Cinderella” by the Karemia del Rey Classical Ballet Academy of Culiacán. However, you can check the website: teatroangela peralta.com for updates. While the Sinaloa Arts Festival and the Mazatlán Cultural Festival have ended, other concert artists do appear at the theater during the winter/spring season. Speaking of websites, the Pacific Pearl has received no word from Codetur (the organizing committee for the Mazatlán International Carnaval, Feb. 27-March 4, 2003) about pre-carnaval events for January. They do have a website you can check, however: carnavalmaz atlan.com.mx On the plastic arts scene, ean exhibit of the works of Glen Rogers continues until Jan. 15 at the Mazatlán Art Museum. Entitled “Form and Spirit,” it consists of paintings, prints, drawings and sculpture. This is the first time Rogers’s work has been shown in Mexico, and it is the

same show that hung in the Triton Gallery in Santa Clara until November. The artist divides her time between her studio in Oakland and her new house in Mazatlán, and drew her inspiration for the works on display from ancient sites ranging from Ireland, Southern France, and relics from Dimas beach to the north of Mazatlán. The Mazatlán Art Museum is at Sixto Osuna and Venustiano Carranza in Old Mazatlán. Its entrance is on a tree-shaded plaza one short block behind Olas Altas. A nominal entry fee is charged. Across the street, at the Mazatlán Archaeological Museum, an exhibition of early works by Mazatlan’s most famous living artist, Antonio Lopez Saenz, opens on Jan. 24. A retrospective of his youthful years, when he was studying art at the San Carlos National Academy in Mexico City, the exhibit will include photographs from the artist’s personal collection as well as his paintings from the 1960s and ’70s. Admirers of Lopez Saenz will be able to trace his artistic evolution from those days to the style in which he paints today, according to Diego Reyes, museum director. The museum is located on Calle Sixto Osuna, and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. except Sundays when the hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free.
