  • 'LEMPICKA: A New Musical' at La Jolla Playhouse
    From the organizers: Come see this new musical at the La Jolla Playhouse from June 14 to July 24. Click here for showtimes and details. Amid the political upheaval of the early 20th Century, a young painter named Tamara de Lempicka and her aristocrat husband are forced to abandon their luxurious lifestyle in St. Petersburg and flee to the dubious safety of Paris. Relying on raw talent and relentless ambition, Tamara claws her way from penniless refugee to in-demand portraitist, earning a place among Parisian high society. Her world is upended once again when she meets Rafaela, a free spirit from the city slums, who introduces Tamara to a new world of decadence and passion. Torn between her new muse and her husband, and fighting to leave her mark on an ever-changing world, Tamara must discover the depths of her own strength to survive. Spanning decades of political turmoil and told through a thrilling, pop-infused score, Lempicka boldly explores the contradictions of a world in crisis, a woman ahead of her era, and an artist whose time has finally come.

  • The New Pornographers: 'Mass Romantic' and 'Twin Cinema' at The Belly Up
    Influential Canadian indie band The New Pornographers have steadily released music since 2000's "Mass Romantic," and have remained a strong force in music even while seeing the astronomic (well, among indie-folk circles) rise to fame of one of the group's vocalists, Neko Case. On their current tour, the band is performing two separate shows; the first night, Saturday, is a full-album run-through of "Mass Romantic," and the second, Sunday, is a run-through of 2005's "Twin Cinema." According to setlists posted online, the band then plays a long encore of other songs — but nothing from the album from the other night. Good luck trying to choose a night. Details: Two performances, 9 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10 ("Mass Romantic") and 8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11 ("Twin Cinema"). The Belly Up, 143 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach. $45-$79. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS Tickets: 9 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10 (Mass Romantic) 8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11 (Twin Cinema) Related links: The Belly Up on Instagram The New Pornographers on Instagram
