Spanish music at all levels was imbued with influences from the Near East—a legacy of the Moorish conquest.

Giacomo Puccini was a composer in search of the perfect story for each opera. Many say he found it in La Bohème, whose high drama was set among the 1830s bohemian artists of Paris. For their production, the Florentine Opera shifted the setting to 1920s Bronzeville, Milwaukee’s Black neighborhood. Sung in Italian with English supertitles. (David Luhrssen)
Forte Theatre Company
- Hello Dolly!, April 13-21

- Women’s Work, April 5-May 31
Local artists Ann Baer, Stephanie Bartz, Blanche Brown, Dara Larson and Roxane Mayeur will exhibit their responses to the theme of “women’s work” in a group show. Baer explores women working at homemaking vs. working at creating in their “spare time.” Bartz photographs dynamic women in historically traditionally male-dominated vocations. Brown’s fiber arts explore the significance of African American women’s continued work on improving their mental health. Larson’s scratchboards explore women and handcraft. Mayeur’s two-dimensional encaustic paintings examine the “work of being a woman.” (David Luhrssen)

Grohmann Museum
- Cory Bonnet: Patterns of Meaning, through-April 28
For “Patterns of Meaning,” Pittsburgh painter Cory Bonnet used old wooden foundry patterns as the foundation for new creations—paintings, sculptures and assemblages. “Patterns of Meaning” is a novel approach to historic preservation coupled with a thoughtful repurposing of industrial artifacts,” says Grohmann’s director James Kieselburg. “Patterns from frames, wheels, core boxes and gears become the materials on which scenes of industry are painted, from which glass is cast, and with which new sculptural assemblages are constructed.” (David Luhrssen)
Haggerty Museum of Art
- Image in Dispute: Dutch and Flemish Art from the Haggerty Museum of Art’s Collection, through May 12
It was a time of upheaval and religious conflict in the Low Countries with militant Protestants waging war against religious iconography. “As traditions of artmaking came under increasing verbal and physical attack, artists began to innovate, developing new subjects to accommodate changing beliefs and new pictorial modes that rendered conventional themes with gripping emotion and psychological force,” said curator Kirk Nickel of an exhibit featuring some 50 paintings, engravings and etchings from the Haggerty’s collection. (David Luhrssen)

Mama Tried is an annual invitational for custom motorcycles—from choppers to racing bikes—that draws enthusiasts from around the world to Milwaukee. The H-D Museum’s first major new exhibition since COVID gathers 13 motorcycles, “an eclectic selection of everything and everyone,” says curator David Kreidler. When held in recent years at the Eagles Ballroom, Mama Tried has included as many as 100 motorcycles plus vendors. “We’re not trying to recreate the event but introduce the event,” Kreidler explains.

- The Book Smugglers: Partisans, Poets and the Race to Save Jewish Treasures from the Nazis, Jan. 19-May 19
The act of writing has always been sacred in Jewish history, and its centrality is illustrated by the efforts of Lithuanian Jews to rescue their literary heritage from destruction. JMM curator Molly Dubin describes the exhibit as a “nearly unbelievable true story” of Jews who, during the Holocaust and its aftermath, “through brave acts of resistance, powerful friendship and devotion to literature, rescued thousands of rare books and manuscripts.” (David Luhrssen)

Breaking with Ike, she made one of music history’s great comebacks in the ‘80s with the multi-platinum album Private Dancer and the hit, “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” The Broadway musical is a jukebox tribute to her music.

- 50 Paintings, through June 23
So, what can be said of such a diverse cross-section of 50 unrelated contemporary paintings? A lot, actually. Namely that all cross-sections have their own particular angle-of-entry. The works in “50 Paintings” are indeed diverse in form, strategy, and style; the curators have a good read on the attitudes that are bubbling in contemporary art studios, as well as the histories from which they’ve sprung. (Shane McAdams)

- Cinderella, April 4-7
Sergei Prokofiev’s music for the ballet Cinderella is gorgeously melodious, the inspiration for many great choreographers, including the Milwaukee Ballet’s Artistic Director Michael Pink. The family-friendly work gives young dancers from the Ballet’s School & Academy the opportunity to shine on stage. (David Luhrssen)
Milwaukee Chamber Theater
- The Mountaintop, March 8-24
On April 3, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. gave what would be his final speech, and he spoke to his audience in Memphis with forebodings. He was assassinated later that night. “We’ve got some difficult days ahead,” he told the audience. “But it really doesn't matter now, because I've been to the mountaintop … Like anybody, I would like to live a long life; longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain and I saw the Promised Land.” Pulitzer-winning playwright Katori Hall reimagines King’s last night. (David Luhrssen)

It’s been 25 years since Guys on Ice debuted at the Rep and it’s just as entertaining now as it was back then.

Leonard Bernstein was classical music’s most versatile figure to emerge from the last century. The MSO will perform his music from three dance episodes in On the Town, the Broadway musical-turned-Technicolor film starring Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra. All that urban razzmatazz is rooted in George Gershwin’s An American in Paris, also on the MSO program. The concert, rounded out with two by Ravel, will be conducted by Jader Bignamini with George Li on piano. (David Luhrssen)

Scarecrow is funny and touching, one part loss and two parts survival. Armbruster described it by saying there is “an opportunity in grief or crisis to reconfigure or recommit.” (David Luhrssen)

“The Blue Hour” song cycle is a collaboration by five women composers: Rachel Grimes, Angélica Negrón, Shara Nova, Caroline Shaw and Sarah Kirkland Snider. The work is based upon Carolyn Forché's epic poem “On Earth,” which follows one woman’s life journey via thousands of hallucinatory and non-linear images. “Sung by Shara Nova and accompanied by a small string orchestra conducted by Deanna Tham, this Milwaukee Art Museum performance will offer a rare chance to hear ‘The Blue Hour’ performed in a live setting,” says Present Music Co-artistic Director Eric Segnitz.

One of Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s stories, James and the Giant Peach was transformed into a 1996 musical film, a Tim Burton-produced stop-motion, live-action extravaganza.

- L’Appartement, March 24-April 14
Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith’s comedy is about a couple’s dream vacation in a perfect Paris Airbnb. L’Appartement is a spoofing look at middle class comfort, marriage and hypocrisy. Driven by Murray-Smith’s nimble dialogue, the couple’s passive aggressive bickering descends into full-blown chaos that comes to a head with the return of their hosts. (Morton Shlabotnik)
