DID YOU KNOW?
A highway sign along Interstate 10 informs drivers they’re approaching Indio,
Calif., and “other Desert Cities.” Hardly
the no man’s land the sign implies, the
region is home to many resorts and
hosts the teeming Coachella Festival.
OTHER DESERT CITIES
Portland Center Stage
[Through March 22]
Baroque composer brothers Alessandro
and Benedetto Marcello lorded prestigiously over 18th-century Venice until
Benedetto died and his family refused
to recognize his widow, a former singing
student and a “commoner.” She sued her
brother-in-law Alessandro for her share
of the estate, and though she lost, the
scandal lived on. More than 100 years
later, their story was appropriately made
into an opera.
REFLECTIONS OF VENICE
featuring Alessandro Marcello’s
Concerto for Oboe in D Minor
Portland Baroque Orchestra
[March 27–28]
Fruiting trees figure as heavily into
the original Cinderella myth as helpful
fairies. Various versions describe the dejected maiden watering a fig or a hazel
tree with her tears.
CINDERELLA
Oregon Ballet Theatre
[Through March 7]
Shakespeare’s canon of plays contains
798 male characters and only 149
female ones, a ratio of more than 5-to-1.
In September 2014, the Royal Shakespeare Company in England announced
that they’d made more equal gender
representation a high priority for future
productions.
THE SIX GENTLEPERSONS OF VERONA
Bag&Baggage Productions
[March 5–22]
Many rock historians credit The Orioles,
a Baltimore-based doo-wop group of
the late ‘40s and early ‘50s, with helping
modern R&B — and bands with bird
names — take off.
SOUL HARMONY
