New England's Professional Tennis Team, the Boston Lobsters, Kicks Off 2010 Season

Middleton, Mass.--February 8, 2010--The Boston Lobsters, New England's professional tennis team, kicked off their 2010 season this weekend with a TeamTennis format co-ed tournament at the Manchester Athletic Club in Manchester by the Sea, Massachusetts

Forty-eight participants from various surrounding communities registered for this event. Teams were established based on skill level.  The winning team received tickets to a Boston Lobsters match and an invitation to the Launch Party. Food and beverages were provided by the Lobsters Sponsors: Polar Beverages, Barefoot Wine, Qdoba Mexican Grill, Cabot Cheese and Chowder Tasting courtesy of Woodman's of Essex.

Boston Lobsters CEO Bahar Uttam said, "I believe everyone enjoyed themselves from the feedback I have received. I consider the evening a smashing success! We are looking forward to our upcoming social tournaments at other leading tennis clubs in the area."

MAC Tennis Program Director Todd Carpenter, MAC Junior Program Director David Colby, and Head Tennis Coach Alex Howard were instrumental in organizing the program.

Regarding her play here against the Boston Lobsters last year, top-ranked Serena Williams said, "One thing I love about TeamTennis is that we get to travel to a lot of cities that don't have [major] tennis in those cities, so it's really exciting to be here. I come here and I look at the stadium and I see how kind of warm and intimate it is, it feels good. It's so small and your fans are really close to you and they kind of get to know a little bit more of a sense of how you play and how you are. It's awesome. I love it, actually.''

Season tickets are now available. Please contact Darlene@bostonlobsters.net or call (508) 435-6585.

Soderberg Insurance Services Expands Extensive MA & NH Service Offering to Include Novel Pay-As-You-Go Workers' Compensation Insurance

Lynnfield, Mass.—January 19, 2010—Soderberg Insurance Services today announced an expansion of its wide range of business, home and personal insurance services to include a new Pay-As-You-Go workers' compensation insurance program designed to enhance corporate cash flow.

“We believe that many firmswill select this novel Pay-As-You-Go worker' compensation insurance for competitive advantage as it dramatically enhances their cash flow in this difficult economy,” says Soderberg Insurance President Kathryn Soderberg, CPCU. “Under this program, firms make workers compensation insurance payments only weekly or biweekly at the time they meet their payroll, rather than make a massive yearly up-front payment. This enhancement is particularly valuable for firms with variable cash flow, such as contractors,” adds Soderberg.

About Soderberg Insurance Services

Soderberg Insurance Services, Inc. was founded in 1959 and has been a locally-owned and operated full-service insurance agency serving the personal and commercial needs of Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire primarily. Soderberg Insurance President Kathryn Soderberg speaks widely to diverse groups (in both English and Spanish) on “breaking news” in insurance.

Boston Area's Highly Regarded MetroWest Opera To Perform Ravel's Sensational "L'enfant et les sortilèges” in French and Mozart's Comic "The Impresario" in English March 21-29 in Weston, MA

BOSTON, Mass.—March 11, 2009—The Boston area's highly regarded MetroWest Opera said today that it is going to perform Maurice Ravel's "L'enfant et les sortilèges” (The Child and the Spells) in French and Wolfgang Mozart's "The Impresario” in English March 21-29 on the stage at Weston's First Parish Church. The church is located at 349 Boston Post Road, and is a popular local venue for classical music.

Known as a sensational opera with significant jazz and ragtime accents, Ravel's "The Child and the Spells” introduces us to a land of magic. It tells a story of a spoiled child who, locked in a room, gives a show of anger. A live armchair, clock, fire and a beautiful princess talk to him, reproaching him for bad behavior. The scene shifts marvelously to a magic garden, where they meet talking animals. After these experiences, the child starts to look differently at the surrounding world and, as happens in a fairy-tale, the world around changes rapidly.

Mozart's timeless classic The Impresario is about a small-time opera company with big-time problems, spurred on by the rivalry between the resident diva and an up-and-coming ingénue. It concerns the woes of an impresario, Mr. Scruples, who must put together a company of actors and singers while dealing with their whims, rivalries and pretensions. The company faces major economic difficulties which are ultimately solved thanks to the intervention of Mr. Angel, a banker.

The musical passages of the opera occur when the auditions of the singers begin. A faded prima donna of opera with whom Mr. Angel has an amorous relationship, Madame Goldentrill, sings an aria ranging from an initially pathetic and sentimental character to a bright conclusion, rich in virtuosities. The following aria tests the young Miss Silverpeal, with whom Mr. Angel also has amorous relations. In "I am the best singer!", the two ambitious singers confront him on who the prima donna will be. The two women fight and demand higher and higher contracts. In the end, the singers and actors determine that art can thrive only through the peaceable cooperation of all their strengths. Mozart wrote this opera as his entry in a musical competition sponsored in 1786 by Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II at the Schoenbrunn Palace in Vienna. There are only four vocal numbers in the score, and the musical content (about 30 minutes, including the overture) is surrounded by much spoken dialogue.

The cast is comprised of highly-regarded opera singers from Boston's New England Conservatory, Boston Conservatory, Boston University and the Longy school of music. The artistic staff is top notch, featuring Adam Boyles as conductor and Andrew Ryker as stage director. The shows will be presented staged, costumed, and with chamber orchestra. This double-bill is one not to be missed! Tickets may be purchased online at www.metrowestopera.org for $20 each, plus a two dollar processing fee. See www.metrowestopera.org for the dates and times of the two matinees and the two evening performances.
