The final performances, as part of dell'Arte Opera Ensemble's Mozart & Salieri Festival, of Salieri's rarely performed (not that anything by Salieri is frequentlyperformed) dramma giocoso -- with a libretto by Da Ponte! -- La Cifra.  Speaking of dramma giocosi with libretti by Da Ponte, they're also putting on Don Giovanni Thursday and Saturday nights.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Now that it's been discovered, maybe it won't be as easy to get into as previously, but the food and drink at The Bar at Momofuko Ko are just ridiculously good.  (And, yes, it's open for lunch on Sunday.)
