Take a 17th-century banned Venetian opera, turn it into a glam-rock event, toss in some
less-than-fully-clothed burlesque dancers and put it all on at the Box. No, wait, you don’t have to do
that. Someone else took care of it. You just have to show up.

Mar 21, 23, 26 and 29, 8pm, $50-$175, The Box, 189
Chrystie St (between Rivington and Stanton), 212-982-9301
IN THE CUT
A Third-Gen Barber at Chelsea Market
It’s both a blessing and a curse. Your hair just keeps growing. It won’t stop. Eventually, you’ll be a
caveman. Unless you get yourself to this new shave-and-cut spot from a Freemans vet and third-generation
barber. Walk in. Request a straight shave. Hear that “shing shing” sound. Easy.
