Are you still with us? Last weekend’s blast of heat and humidity was enough to melt anyone … or at least drive us all inside. No doubt our summer has more tandoori days in store, but this weekend promises a more merciful climate. That’s good, because there are many outdoor events worth your time in the next seven days. Indoor ones, too, for the once-burned-twice-shy among you.
Free and aimless we frolic from joy to joy: It’s Violetta’s life credo, but it could work just as well to describe the many events you’ll have to choose among this week. Drink up and enjoy the bounty.
Heads up for Hedheads. It’s back. Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati again is staging the American rock musical “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.”
The Area Choreographers Festival, presented by Contemporary Dance Theater, will include guest artist performances and a master class taught by choreographer Theresa Bautista.
It’s another busy week in the Queen City, both indoors and out. You have no excuse not to find something completely enlightening, entertaining or both to do. I’ll even give you a head start on planning.
Summertime fun is always close at hand in Cincinnati. It’s a rare weekend that doesn’t have a festival, fair or music event to make the steamy summer air sizzle. Here’s a Makers’ dozen of summer attractions that support our local creatives and charitable organizations.
Not unlike some events traditionally scheduled during the summer, Cincinnati Opera’s 2018 season will offer “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” – plus Giuseppe Verdi’s beloved classic “La Traviata,” to boot.
Cincinnati Opera and Pink Floyd as artistic collaborators? “Strange bedfellows” hardly begins to describe it. Perhaps “preposterous” is a better word. But this July, Cincinnati Opera will present “Another Brick in the Wall,” based on Pink Floyd’s iconic 1979 “The Wall.”
Astronomers and sticklers will tell you that summer does not officially begin until June 21. These people have apparently not experienced either Cincinnati’s arts scene or humid heat in late May and early June. To my allergy-clouded eyes, it looks like summer to me. Judge for yourself.
Grammy Award winner Mavis Staples and her band performed their trademark blend of gospel, soul, folk, pop, blues, rock and R&B at Memorial Hall.
