Arts

Cincinnati Opera's first mainstage production in Spanish was last week at Music Hall. Saturday night's show was not sold out but had strong attendance.

Henri Loyrette is a charming Frenchman, who also happens to be the director of the Musée de Louvre. In a lecture at the Art Museum this afternoon he garnered quite a crowd despite the lovely weather. Trivia: at any given time there are 35,000 items on display at the Louvre and that's over half of the entire collection.

Min Usha aptly called this weekend's heavily scheduled itinerary of arts the Deathmarch of Fun.

Day 1 - Thursday - CCM production of The Good Person of Setzuan - Good, but a little long. Min said there were more characters in this production than the one she saw in Chicago last year. Drinks & pizza after at Macs served as pleasant reminder of my college days.

The Musical of Musicals

A fun show, even if you’re not a fan of the genre. Joanne Bogart as Abby and Rich Silverstein as Jitter are what make it worth seeing. It’s relatively short, just 90 minutes including intermission.

Striking 12

Sung Korean Bistro has recently opened in the old Aioli site. Dinner last night was very tasty. If you normally order a medium spicy dish, you might want to downgrade here. The scale is 1-3 but the 2 was pretty hot.
