INFO + TICKETS

Possible Greatest Living Composer Kaija Saariaho collaborates with lunatic (in a good way) director Peter Sellars on an opera based on Ezra Pound's adaptations of Noh plays.  The solo singing cast consists of the stellar countertenor Philippe Jaroussky and the soon-to-be-dominant bass-baritone (you heard it here!) Davóne Tines.  No way this is anything but Major.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Might as well go to Bluebird, the New York outpost of a London smash.  Solid if slightly boring food -- and a bar so nice you want to sit down and start drinking and eating immediately.  (The British sure know how to make cocktails, too!)
