Desire versus reality on this week’s Sunday Opera (3/15 3:00 p.m.) as we look to a 1938 work by Bohuslav Martinu that was based on a French surrealist play by Georges Neveux entitled “Juliette, or the Key of Dreams.” “Julietta” is the object of desire of a travelling bookseller, and he travels to the world of dreams to find her, even though he’s never seen her. He’s just heard her singing.

There are many celebrations in the month of March such as National Noodle Month, National Flour Month, and National Frozen Food Month. However, we like to celebrate another aspect of March as National Women’s History Month.

Albert Lortzing is probably best known for his opera “Zar und Zimmermann,” so we’ll be showcasing two others on this week’s Sunday Opera (3/8 3:00 p.m.): "Der Wildschutz" and "Der Opernprobe."

So much is being said about cross-dressing and drag now that we thought we’d take a look at how musicals have looked at this aspect of theatre on this week’s Dress Circle (4/16 7:00 p.m.). Men portraying women on stage were a major part of Greek and Roman theatre as well as early European theatre mainly because women weren’t allowed to appear on stage. However, once that taboo was overturned, women often portrayed men, especially in operas and British Pantomimes.

Rossen Milanov leads the Princeton Symphony Orchestra this Friday (2/27 8:00 p.m.) in works by Andreia Pinto Correia, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Julian Grant.
