Halloween is over and all the scary stuff is behind us, right? Oh no, not at all, culture fans! The coming week is haunted by the specters of a flaming Ferrari, a headless body, a demon barber, a witch, a giant, a mermaid, a Big Fish, a substitute-teacher nun and – most frighteningly of all – four ersatz singing Swedes.
It ain’t summer until the crazy lady sings, at least that’s the case this year. Cincinnati Opera opens with works from 1835 (complete with “mad scene”) and 2021 this week, along with the debut of a new piano competition and the return of a newish chamber festival, while the 2022-23 theater season finally comes to a close. Happy summer!
Seven, count ’em, art openings this weekend, including the Big 3 – CAC, CAM and Taft Museum. But there’s plenty for your ears (and even your feet) to enjoy, as well.
The week before election day has gotten increasingly stressful, so we offer these selections as solace and distraction, in case you need it. There’s a lot from which to choose…
This week’s events tend to explore the edges, the avant-garde, things created just outside the spectrum, touching on civil rights, gender and sexual identity, the environment and the war in Ukraine. We invite you to explore, investigate, experience … or just hit up Italianfest and eat your cares away! You decide.
Thanks to PR maven Chris Pinelo for pinch-hitting this week, with assistance from our intern Reed Cunningham. Read on to see what goodies they have chosen for you…
So many fantastic pianists, so little time. And beyond that, a corucopia of art, dance, theater and more. Immerse yourself…
Labor, labor go away, and let us celebrate more than one day… Perhaps even seven? Hand-picked to make your holiday happier, or at least a whole-lot busier. Enjoy!
This week is another monster, with a widely diverse array of choices ahead.
Get yourself out and experience all this city has to offer. And take a friend, someone new to experience whatever you’d like to share. Who knows? You might make a convert.
Retailers may be ready for us to hand over our iced tea for pumpkin lattes and scarecrows, but the local arts scene is still running summer hot. So put that PSL down – it’s still too early for that anyway! – and head out for a refreshing sip of enlightenment and entertainment.
