EDITORS' PICKS
We don't have the resources to write in-depth stories about everything. Our editors want to share a few more events each week that we think you should know about. These picks are chosen by them without input from the organizations listed.
'Monty Python's Spamalot'
This raucous musical based on the classic comedy film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" manages to squeeze in all of that movie's highlights, from flying cows to killer rabbits, British royalty to French taunters, dancing girls, rubbery shrubbery, and of course, the Lady of the Lake. This is the touring version of the 2023 Broadway revival. Feb. 17-22 at Segerstrom Center for the Arts.
Elliot Menard
Opera-maker, vocal performer, composer and producer, Menard's work combines opera-theater, new music and experimental performance. Menard, a mezzo-soprano, presents the world premiere of SULPICIA SONGS, a multimedia song cycle for solo voice and electronics, setting the six poems of Sulpicia, the only extant ancient Roman female poet. 7:30 p.m. Feb. 19 at Muckenthaler Cultural Center.
Dance Visions
Presented by the Department of Dance at the Claire Trevor School of the Arts, Dance Visions 2026 is the department’s annual premier showcase highlighting the range and depth of faculty choreography. Featuring original works performed by UC Irvine’s dance students, the concert blends contemporary and classical forms with theatrical and musical elements. Feb. 19-21 at Irvine Barclay Theatre.
