Pete Townshend's Quadrophenia mod ballet on tour
Musician Pete Townshend says he believes a new ballet version of his rock opera Quadrophenia will "resonate with new audiences".The co-founder of The Who is backing Quadrophenia, a Mod Ballet – based on his own music and the subsequent film about mods and rockers clashing in 1960s ballet, which had its premiere in Plymouth, is touring venues around the UK in June and told BBC South East that he thought the story of rebellion and youth culture would make a "powerfully rhythmic and emotionally engaging ballet". "The themes of young people growing up in difficult times are still so relevant," he said."It's going to be tender, poignant, poetic and epic."More than 1,000 youths fought each other between 16 and 18 May 1964 in Brighton, in scenes which were later immortalised in rock opera was released in 1973, and the 1979 film, starring Sting, Ray Winstone, Phil Daniels, Toyah Willcox and Leslie Ash was set around the East Sussex added: "Brighton has always been something special. It has a great history all of its own." The orchestration for the production was written by Townshend's wife Rachel said: "When I've written rock operas, I've always felt they were there to be exploited and changed."This ballet went into workshop with Sadler's Wells and it has landed really well. I was deeply touched by it."We're bringing rock music ethics into the ballet world." The ballet is backed by instrumental music recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra."It was amazing to see people working with my music who were so young," Townshend added."This is a different take on the perennial story of a young man struggling in life to find meaning."Quadrophenia really is my baby and I'm so pleased what we managed to achieve with it."

Stanley Cup Final 2025: Florida Panthers look for rare repeat while the Edmonton Oilers hope to claim the cup for Canada
If we can paraphrase Roger Daltrey: Meet the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals, same as the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals. Just like the year prior, the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers are meeting once again to fight for the greatest trophy in all of sports. The two teams will face off against each other for the second year in a row - only the third time since the NHL expanded to 21 teams that the same opponents will meet in consecutive Stanley Cup Finals. Of course, the two teams aren't exactly the same as they were last year. Different players have had drastically different regular season and playoff performances than they did last year, leading to a re-analysis of both teams. Plus, home ice belongs to a different team this year - which could play a major role if this series goes to seven games once again. Here, previews the 2025 Stanley Cup Final - and predicts who will come out on top. Florida's Road to the Cup Sure, the Panthers weren't as much a juggernaut this season as they were the one prior. However, there was no post-Cup 'hangover' that some Stanley Cup champions have been victim of in the past. In a top-heavy Atlantic Division, the Panthers finished third with 98 points - good for 11th in the league's standings overall. Florida stayed consistent throughout the regular season, never truly dipping in form for any extended period of time. The only month where they finished with a losing record was April, when they lost back-to-back games to end the season. They pulled off the Gentleman's Sweep of the in-state rival Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round and then doomed the Toronto Maple Leafs by beating them in their own barn in seven games. In the Eastern Conference Final - their third in as many seasons - they once again throttled the Carolina Hurricanes in five games while outscoring them 21-10. Their identity - physical, scrappy, and relentless - has not changed from years prior and sets them up for a possible back-to-back title defense. Florida players to watch To borrow a phrase from hockey writer and podcaster Pete Blackburn, the Panthers may be the most 'built for this s**t' playoff team we have seen in a while. Like last year, the Panthers' top line has shined - with Aleksandar Barkov, Sam Reinhart, and Evan Rodrigues combining for eleven goals and 40 points in these playoffs. Unlike last year, the scoring is much more spread out. Carter Verhaeghe has been bumped down to the second line as of late to play alongside Sam Bennett. When you run the scrappiest unit in the league, what else is there for you to do but get scrappier? Enter Brad Marchand. The former Boston Bruins captain was flipped to Florida at the deadline and he has brought all his experience to score four goals and 14 points from the third line in these playoffs. Turning to defense, the top pair of Gustav Forsling and Aaron Ekblad have been stellar at slowing down rushes. But Forsling's offensive numbers are down, which could spell trouble. Panned at the time, the trade for Seth Jones has seemed to work well for the Cats so far - owing to a +9 rating and seven points. Unlike this time last season, Sergei Bobrovsky has been stellar in the playoffs. His 2.11 goals against average is the second-best mark among netminders who played more than 10 playoff games - as is his save percentage of .912. The biggest question? Matthew Tkachuk. Sure, on the surface, his five goals and 11 assists are big numbers. But consider that he has scored only two goals in the last 12 games. If Florida is going to win back-to-back cups, they need one of their biggest stars to get going again. Edmonton's Road to the Cup Last year, Edmonton had a false start out of the gate, fired their coach, reset, and made a run to the Finals. This year, barring a five-game February skid on either side of the 4 Nations Face-Off, Edmonton was a wagon in the Pacific Division. Yet, they still finished third despite putting up 48 wins and 101 points en route to a playoff appearance which was well deserved. After dropping the first two games of their series against the Los Angeles Kings, Edmonton won four straight to set up a second round against the Vegas Golden Knights. Edmonton got one over on the team that won their division, beating them in five games to set up a re-match with the Dallas Stars. Unlike last year when Edmonton needed six games to clinch the Campbell Bowl, the Oilers knocked out Dallas in five to reach back-to-back cup finals for the first time since 1988. Edmonton Players to Watch Just like last year, we start with Connor McDavid. In a year where the best hockey player in the world already won a medal with Team Canada, etching his name on the Stanley Cup would be the crowning achievement of his career. His 26 points lead all scorers in the playoffs. In fact, Edmonton has four of the five highest scorers in the playoffs. Joining McDavid is partner-in-crime Leon Draisaitl (7 goals, 25 points), line mate Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (5 goals, 18 points), and defenseman Evan Bouchard (6 goals, 17 points). Just like last year, the balance between the top and bottom six is heavily skewed. For reference, the third line Edmonton rolled out in Game 5 against Dallas was Vasily Podkolzin, Mattias Janmark, and Viktor Arvidsson. Combined, they have 15 points - fewer than the individual totals of the top four scorers in the playoffs. When you run the most unbalanced forward unit in the league, what else is there for you to do but drastically improve your defense? Everyone on Edmonton's defensive corps has taken a step forward this year and two key additions helped boost their unit overall. All of the Oilers' defenders are on the good side of the plus-minus battle - including Jake Walman (+12), acquired from San Jose mid-season, and John Klingberg (+6), who has been surprisingly consistent. Finally, we look to the net. Stuart Skinner's early-playoff struggles led to him sharing time with Calvin Pickard. Skinner has been off and on all postseason. For the longest time, either he'd keep a shutout or let in at least four. The ship has been righted for the time being (he finished the conference final series with a .924 save percentage), but Edmonton will need Skinner to be consistent in the biggest games. Despite McDavid's playoff run, it could be Leon Draisaitl that takes the Art-Ross Trophy So who's gonna win it all? Here's what's at stake: Florida is looking to be the first team to win back-to-back Stanley Cups since the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2017. Edmonton hasn't won since 1988, while a Canadian team hasn't won the cup since 1994. Much like last year, this will be an incredibly hard series to predict. Once again, the Oilers top line is the most powerful in the league and they truly look like a cohesive unit. But Florida's balance throughout their lines is the envy of the NHL. As funny as it sounds, when it comes to two teams that match up so incredibly well, the only two places you have left to go are familiarity and history. Last year, Florida had home ice and won Game 7 by a single goal. This year, it's Edmonton that has that advantage. On top of that, the Oilers have lost just one game at home these playoffs - and even then, it required Vegas forward Reilly Smith scoring with 0.4 seconds left to beat them. Then there's the history. As mentioned at the start, the same pair of teams have only met in back-to-back finals twice since 1980. In 1983, the New York Islanders swept the upstart Oilers to win their fourth-straight Stanley Cup. The following year, the Oilers - led by Mark Messier, Jari Kurri, Grant Fuhr and Wayne Gretzky - beat the Isles in five. The phenomenon wouldn't happen again until 2008 and 2009. First, the Detroit Red Wings knocked out a young Penguins team in six games before Sidney Crosby and Pittsburgh returned the favor the following year. It's both of the home ice and the history that lead to our choice. The prediction is: Edmonton in 7 games.

A limited-time BTS exhibition is coming to FiDi this weekend
ARMY, assemble: BTS's Jimin is taking over the Financial District with a solo spotlight that's part mirror maze, part music video dreamscape. 'The Truth Untold: 전하지 못한 진심,' a new limited-time exhibition, has landed at 30 Wall Street and invites fans to step directly into the mind and meticulously choreographed world of Jimin as he created his solo albums Face and Muse. Open now through June 29, the immersive experience offers a rare and deeply personal glimpse into the superstar's introspective creative journey. Visitors begin the exhibit quite literally facing themselves in a mirror, mirroring Jimin's own self-reflection in Face, before heading into glowing neon rooms that recreate the visuals of music videos like Like Crazy and Who. View this post on Instagram A post shared by BTS EXHIBITION (@bighit_exhibition) Throughout the space, guests can look at handwritten lyric notebooks, production diaries and behind-the-scenes footage from recording sessions, dance practices and live performances. A media wall, distortion mirrors and other interactive installations bring Jimin's emotions to life. The exhibit culminates with a tribute to Jimin's fans: a handwritten note flanked by his solo music awards. But the true finale is the Smeraldo Garden, a dreamlike installation filled with blue blooms referencing the 'truth untold,' a recurring BTS motif now reimagined through Jimin's solo lens. 'The Truth Untold' follows a similar Jungkook-themed exhibit that took over the same Wall Street space earlier this spring. Like its predecessor, this one comes courtesy of BigHit Music and Hybe, with production by Paradise E&A and global promotion from MondayMorningCreativeLab. Jimin's Face made him the first Korean solo artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 in 2023, and Muse only expanded on that, with its lead single Who spending 44 weeks on the Billboard Global 200. Whether you've had Serendipity on loop since 2017 or just discovered Jimin via Smeraldo Garden Marching Band, this limited-run exhibit offers a rare chance to walk in his performance-ready Dior shoes. Timed entry tickets are available online, and the experience lasts about an hour. Weekday visitors even score a free gift, while supplies last.
