THE ARTS

Get Your Tickets: The frenzied public sale of Barbra Streisand concert tickets last month was over in a flash, but it only marked the beginning of a slow and laborious process for six area charities. As many as 500 prime seats for each of the six shows May 25 through June 4 at the Pond in Anaheim were set aside to be sold by the organizations, providing a chance for each to make as much as $325,000. But some of the charities are worried that sales are going too slowly, and they blame difficulty in publicizing the tickets’ availability. “Getting the word out is hard and none of us wants to spend tens of thousands of dollars on advertising,” said Richard Walden, president of Operation USA/LA Earthquake Relief, which holds 450 tickets to the June 2 concert. Each of the charities was given the chance to pay face value--$350--for the tickets, which then could be sold for as much as $1,000 each. The charities’ profits would be tax-deductible to the ticket buyers. The following charities have tickets available: for May 25, the National Resources Defense Council/Pesticide Campaign, (310) 996-1188; for May 27, the Alliance for Children’s Rights, (310) 393-5600; for May 29, Girls’ Voices Women’s Lives, (310) 478-3002; for May 31, the Legal Aid Foundation, (310) 477-0672; for June 2, Operation USA/LA Earthquake Relief, (310) 559-6370; for June 4, United Friends of the Children, (213) 651-2988.

* Warhol’s Estate: Andy Warhol’s estate is worth about $510 million, nearly $300 million more than its executors had declared, a New York judge said. Thursday’s ruling means the Warhol Foundation, the estate’s principal beneficiary, could owe the estate’s former lawyer, Edward Hayes, at least $5 million in legal fees. Hayes and the foundation have been fighting over the value of artwork, real estate, cash and other property the late pop artist left when he died Feb. 22, 1987. Hayes, whose fee is 2% of the estate’s total value, claimed that the estate was worth at least $700 million. The foundation, relying on appraisals by Christie’s art auction officials, said it was worth $220 million. Surrogate Judge Eve Preminger, after saying it was “difficult, if not foolhardy” to try to put a dollar value on Warhol’s property, estimated its worth at $510 million.

* ‘Falstaff’ Feud: Soprano Angelina Reaux and baritone Michael Sokol have been replaced in Long Beach Opera’s production of “Falstaff” in the wake of a disagreement between Reaux and the production’s director, Moshe Leiser. While an opera spokeswoman said Reaux was dismissed for unreasonable artistic demands (and her husband, Sokol, then quit), Reaux has filed a police report saying Leiser verbally threatened her and flung a book of sheet music at her, hitting her in the chest. Through the spokeswoman, opera general director Michael Milenski said that Leiser does not deny throwing the book, but the opera considers the disagreement an insignificant “rehearsal room spat” that did not affect their decision to dismiss Reaux. Leiser could not be reached for comment.
