The Pacific Lyric Association proudly presents Die Fledermaus. This quintessential Viennese comic operetta is set in opulent turn-of-the-century Vienna revolves around a pair of friends engaging in a fierce battle of pranks, a beautiful wife who’s contemplating infidelity, and her maid, who wants nothing more than to be an actress. Their schemes cleverly intertwine at a grand New Year’s Eve ball — with plenty of waltzing, of course — and end up in prison where Champagne is blamed for all.

From the KPBS weekend arts preview, Nov. 18, 2021: Let's give this one the best title award. New York-based artist Marina Zurkow will launch her residency at ICA North (formerly Lux) in Encinitas with a reception on Friday. The exhibition is immersive (artistically speaking, not aquatically) and will transform the gallery space. Zurkow's work is informed by the space between human civilization and ocean, the uneven relationship between the two, and, of course, human impact. Sculptural elements will include actual local marine debris (smell included), and the installation will feature several generative video works that will transform throughout the residency. Details: Marina Zurkow's residency begins with an opening reception Friday from 6-8 p.m. and will be on view through Jan. 30, 2022. Regular gallery hours are Thursday through Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. ICA North, 1550 S El Camino Real, Encinitas. $0-10 for the reception, pay what you wish gallery admission. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS.
