But the real treat may well be Maurice Sendak's production design. And unlike most operas, this one's in English. Perhaps a big, sharp knife is just the thing you'd love to have for the holidays, but probably for all the wrong reasons. If being cooped up in the house with family members prompts thoughts of slashing and slicing, you should probably avoid today's knife show, where lots of potentially harmful cutting objects are for sale. But if you can be trusted to use them only for their intended purposes, stop by to pick up some kitchen, art, production, or antique knives, or just to admire the collections on display.
People kill people.
Going around cutting off pieces of baby boys' penises might seem like an odd way to spend time, but that's just what a mohel does. See which way he goes tonight at Fletcher's. If you saw the Russian version, compare and contrast. If you didn't, here's another chance to see the holiday classic before the season disappears. We'd be glad to list your event in the Baltimore Weekly calendar.
