The votes are in, and this week’s lineup of Cincinnati arts and cultural events is officially a winner. Several outstanding classical-music concerts lead the way, but if you’re looking for theater productions, art exhibits or traditional holiday events, they’re on the list too.
If you’re one of those All Hallows Eve or Day of the Dead or Halloween people, this week’s for you. Enjoy a good ghost story, scary ballet or a Stephen King film. Maybe a requiem is your thing. Of course, there’s jazz, some “true crime” theater and the last of FotoFocus. Boo!
Whether you’re willing to brave the heat or would rather keep your climate controlled, there’s plenty to do in the next week, including one of Greater Cincinnati’s biggest communal parties. It’s only one of several events too big for a single day. Here’s a sampling of what we have to look forward to.
We’re springing ahead with an eventful week highlighted by once-a-year celebrations – Easter Sunday, the Cincinnati Reds Opening Day and the Cincinnati Zoo’s festival of flowers. But there are other options for those of us seeking a cultural fix, including several tasty musical treats.
With the wild revelry of Mardi Gras, Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day just behind us, you’d think there wouldn’t be much to look forward to this coming week. But we have highlights galore in the next seven days, especially crowd-pleasing theater productions, innovative dance programs and spectacular musical treats – nearly all of which prominently feature women.
We’re at that awkward stage in Culture FIX this week: Some events still mark our bleak midwinter, while hints of Mardi Gras and (dare we say it?) spring start elbowing their way in. Throw in the revival of a dreaded vampire and an invasion of toothy furry creatures and some atrocious puns …
Is it cold enough for you yet? Now that actual winter weather has arrived, many of us may feel that instinct to just hibernate and watch football. And yet, good reasons do exist to get out and participate in Cincinnati culture this week. The calendar may be thinner than usual, but there’s still a good selection of events to warm that winter chill.
In the bleak midwinter the Cincinnati arts scene is far from bleak. Resist the urge to settle in under a cozy blanket with a good book. Venture out and continue to support artists and performers who contribute to our culture year ‘round.
2023 has come and gone. Below we celebrate our cover stories and the talented writers and photographers who brought these to you. Happy Holidays and a safe and bountiful New Year from all of us at M&M.
Well, fall is finally here, and the days are growing shorter. Still, there’s no shortage of outdoor events this week to take advantage of the mild weather.
