  • Dorothy Chandler Pavilion 

  • 135 North Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90012

  In a court ruled by decadence and corruption, the Duke of Mantua sits on top. Whatever he wants, he gets. And lately, he’s set his sights on Rigoletto’s daughter. It’s enough to send the carefree court jester into a deadly rage, but revenge comes at a price he never expected.

  Verdi master James Conlon conducts Rigoletto, featuring some of the most famous music ever written. Quinn Kelsey, the premier Verdi baritone of his generation, returns to star in the title role, with tenor René Barbera as the suave and sadistic Duke and Italian soprano Rosa Feola as Gilda, his unsuspecting prey. Stage director Tomer Zvulun updates the action to Mussolini’s Italy, transporting audiences to a realm of glittering grandeur that’s absolutely rotten to the core.

  The trail is THIS way! Come with us.

  Hike Description:  Moderate to strenuous

  A steep uphill for a good portion early on our 4 mile hike. The trail is OK, but narrows to single file and widens to fire road size at times. There is limited shade; some rocky, uneven path conditions exist (hiking sticks could prove useful). We encountered other hikers and joggers but no bicycles or water crossings. We did see several dogs with handlers on the trail, so the pups should be OK to come along.

  We will start at the Japanese Garden and go up from there around the hill to the top. Features we will encounter: a koi pond with lots of turtles, great views of the city, ML King memorial, a hummingbird feeding area and the creek that leads down to Gwen Moore Lake and lots of birds.

  Parking:  At the entrance to the Japanese Garden

  Registration: This event is open to UCLA Retiree and Emeriti Association members and one guest per registrant only until June 20, 2025. Registration is limited. More details will be sent to the registrants a few days before the hike.

  3420 Boelter Hall: "The Birthplace of the Internet" 

  

  Sponsored by the UCLA Emeriti/Retirees Relations Center

  **This tour requires step climbing and moderate walking. Group will meet at the front of Boelter Hall at 12:45 PM. The tour starts at 1 PM and will last 45 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes for Q&A. 

  On Oct. 29, 1969, a team of students led by Leonard Kleinrock, distinguished professor of computer science at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, sent the first message over the Arpanet from an ordinary computer lab at UCLA... and the rest was history. 

  The Internet is a significant part of everyone’s lives, from providing many people with jobs, playing a big role in the way we communicate and to providing us with almost everything we need, including entertainment and shopping. And it all traces its roots back to UCLA.

  We welcome you to join us for an in-person tour of 3420 Boelter Hall hosted by Professor Kleinrock himself! This is where the first message was sent over the Arpanet, precursor to today’s internet, to Stanford Research Institute on the evening of Oct. 29, 1969. The message was meant to be “LOGIN.” The researchers managed to type the first two letters before the fledgling system crashed. So, the first message sent over the internet was: “LO,” as in “Lo and behold!” As Dr. Kleinrock said, “We couldn’t have asked for a more succinct, more powerful, and more prophetic message.”

  Barely an hour later, the teams tried again—with success. By December 1969, four nodes were permanently installed at UCLA, Stanford Research Institute, University of Utah, and University of California, Santa Barbara. By 1975, there were 57 nodes. By 1981, there were 213. Today, we have more than 50 billion nodes.

  The original Interface Message Processor, known as IMP No. 1, the equivalent to today’s router, still proudly stands in 3420 Boelter Hall.

  Room 3420 at Boelter Hall is located on the south campus of UCLA.
