Hannah Lash's new Hans Christian Andersen opera will be performed — and I mean performed, not just played — by the composer (also an accomplished harpist — and, it says here in the promotional materials, dancer) and the exciting voice-reeds-and-wind quartet loadbang.  Lash writes music that is utterly fresh yet utterly accessible — and let's face it, anything is better in a crypt.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Just has to be ROKC, for first-rate ramen, oysters, Japanese snacks, and cocktails.
