TICKETS + INFORMATION

Heartbeat Opera brings back its now almost legendary recasting of Beethoven’s stirring but flawed opera about resistance to political oppression (and faithfulness in marriage) as centering on a contemporary Black American political prisoner and his heroic spouse. A major event.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: I myself learned French Bistro at the original Downtown Quatorze, and it’s wonderful that they’re still plugging away in a more northerly location that arguably needs them more.
