Wednesday - Die Walküre (Act 1) @ NY Phil

Thursday - All of the Above @ The DiMenna Center for Classical Music

Explore this boundary pushing sextet as they attempt to create unique and innovative musical experiences by challenging the traditions of the classical concert.

Friday - John Corigliano @ 80 @ National Sawdust / Open Season - Gilda Wabbit @ The Duplex

Saturday - Juilliard415: Handel in Rome @Alice Tully Hall

I'm a sucker for some good Handel and have been caught booty dancing to him at my desk on more than on occasion... Check out The Juilliard School's Historical Performance Ensemble tackle some of Handel's infectious work. Though, I'd keep the booty popping to a minimum...if you can.

Sunday - Romeo and Juliet @ New York City Ballet

End Valentine's week with Prokofiev's stunning score.
