Rosario Suárez, Toni Candeloro + il Balletto di Puglia

Miami-Cuban Rosario Suárez, Italian dancer Toni Candelero and the Balletto di Puglia present this mixed programme dedicated to Anna Pavlova. The troupe present various pieces originally choreographed by Fokine, among them ‘Les Sylphides’, ‘The Death of a Swan’ and ‘Egyptian Night’. Under the artistic direction of Anna Cuocolo, the show is accompanied by an exhibition of photographs of Anna Pavlova. Dating back 80 years, the photos portray the prima ballerina who gave up the chance to dance with Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes in order to promote dance in the remotest corners of the world.

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Named after their Physical Education teacher Leonard Skinner back in Florida in the ’60s, these gutsy Southern rock stalwarts return with a new album ‘Edge Of Forever’, and their first London date in two years. Despite their tragic history (two band members died in a plane crash in 1977, another of pneumonia in 1990) they are impressively invincible.

Rubens und Seine Zeit

‘Rubens and his Time’ is an ambitious attempt to recreate and explain the mood of 17th-century European art. At the centre of the show are 17 pieces by Peter Paul Rubens, who painted, sculpted and designed books and even buildings. His influence on the development of art is immeasurable and continues to be felt today. When bad boy Damien Hirst orders someone to do something and then claims the work as his, he’s only doing what Rubens did nearly 300 years ago.

Barcode

In place of a name outside what everyone’s calling Boston’s newest hangout, what you’ll actually find is one of those universal bar code symbols that have made supermarket checkout lines so much faster. Fortunately, the owners of this new upper-scale haunt (in the space that used to house the popular bar/eatery Division 16) haven’t taken that theme to its logical conclusion inside. Instead, Barcode is a cosy, classy, mahogany and mirror-festooned restaurant with an Asian-French fusion menu and a very active bar scene. An average meal costs around $50.

Miss Saigon

The Broadway musical blockbuster ‘Miss Saigon’ returns to Boston’s Wang Center for a short run. The show, which was created by the ‘Les Miserables’ team of Alan Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, has been to the Wang twice previously for sold out runs that have made it one of the most financially successful musicals to ever come to Boston. It tells the story of love affair between a young Vietnamese girl and an American soldier around the time of the fall of Saigon in 1975.
