As classic story ballets go, this one hits all the right spots. It’s a terrific blend of lushly memorable music by Prokofiev (performed live!), John Cranko’s sweepingly romantic choreography, and a storyline that follows two star-crossed lovers through first meeting, familial clashes, tempestuous consummation, and ultimate tragedy. > March 15-April 8, 539 Washington Street, Boston, 617-695-6955, bostonballet.org Company Wayne McGregor We’ve had a taste of the brainy acclaimed British choreographer’s artistic imagination through two Boston Ballet programs, but this Celebrity Series presentation at the Boch … [Read more...] about 42 concerts, plays, and arts events you shouldn’t miss in New England

Dong Da festival - Photo: Thanhnien Thousands celebrate Dong Da festival Thousands of people from all regions across the country flocked to the Quang Trung Museum in the central province of Binh Dinh on February 4 to celebrate the 225th lunar anniversary of the famous Ngoc Hoi-Dong Da battle.

He launched a surprise attack and defeated more than 20,000 Qing soldiers during a battle on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

What it takes to produce a major art event in London
As the London-based LAPADA Art & Antiques Fair enters its ninth year in the city, we chat with fair director Mieka Sywak on the ins and outs of running a major cultural event in a modern city. We also picked up a few buying tips for those interested in heading to the ceramics, silver, tapestry and furniture-filled fair, which takes place 15-20 September in Berkeley Square. Additionally, we scored you free entrance to the event (now you have no excuse). Grab a pair of free tickets on the LAPADA site. How is the LAPADA Art & Antiques Fair opening up the art world to a new market? First and foremost, we want LAPADA to reveal to visitors how special the world of art and antiques is and how easy it is to start collecting.

Dewsall Court, An Enchanting Hideaway For Your Perfect Event
Sometimes you find a little secret hideaway you want to keep all to yourself. Dewsall Court is one of those places. Set in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside, Dewsall Court is a venue for events, yet it is so much more than that. This historic home was built in 1644 by Richard Pearl and was in his family for 100 years until he went bankrupt. It was then owned by Guys Hospital for 300 years. In the 1960s it fell into a state of disrepair and after a number of owners it came to be bought by the Robinson family who completely renovated it. It was a happy family home where the children grew up until Joe, the father, sadly passed away, and the family decided to move out in 2009. Since then it has been an exclusive use venue for parties, weddings and events. When I was invited to a bloggers lunch recently at Dewsall Court I was really looking forward to it after reading about the venue on their website and I also knew my lovely friends Laura at Side Street Style and … [Read more...] about Dewsall Court, An Enchanting Hideaway For Your Perfect Event
