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!
Juneteenth, the celebration of the emancipation of slaves in Texas (June 19, 1865) has taken on a life of its own and there are several occasions for you to participate over the weekend. Plus, you’ll find a plethora of other wonders to feed your soul. Peruse away…
Art should be about helping you look at things through a different lens and this week’s events do that and more, so I need not say more. Go, see differently and thank me later.
Good golly, Miss Molly, what a week we have ahead. Plenty of al fresco music is on the menu, with a couple sides of outdoor film, plus flavors for every taste, even “Tutti Frutti.”
Lots of dynamic offerings this week – including AI art – as evidenced by a record eight (8!) embedded videos. This is transition time, from regular season to summer season, so expect the unexpected. But May Festival remains embedded in our culture like clockwork – 150 years and counting. Amazing.
A week of openings and closings ahead, as some seasons wind down. Classic dance. Last chance theater. Two big openings at the CAC. An all-too rare performance by VAE. A Grammy winner closes out Xavier’s series. Handelian delights. And more…
It’s the last dance, your last chance for (official) summer happenings, People. Things change, they just do, starting next Tuesday when we plunge forward into fall. Take advantage of all my hard work and go play a little…
Visual art leads the pack this week, but there is something for all y’all, trust me. Hang on to that summer simmer, My Friends.
Music, art and theater are the headliners this week, with a mind-expanding conference and some life-balance wisdom on the side… Take advantage of what’s out there, Dear People. Fill up your dance card. You have no idea how lucky we are here.
This week begins and ends with high notes, and plenty from which to choose in between: opera, jazz, art, cultural festivals, and even a little euchre on the side (seriously!). Stay busy, My Friends.
