Radio Show: It's Your Choice -- Tigres or 'Girl'
Los Tigres del Norte

The Italian Girl in Algiers
Directed by Michael Shell, with Lisa Chavez as title character Isabella, Opera San Jose’s production The Italian Girl in Algiers offers Rossini’s version of broad political satire. While it’s one of many 19th-century operas to poke fun at Europeans abroad, this show, and this production in particular, serves as a side-splitting example of the form. Through November 30th.

Sky Ferreira
The Los Angeles-based singer draws liberally from an ’80s musical aesthetic on her 2013 debut LP Night Time, My Time, which landed on many critics’ year-end lists, and where sandwiched between songs about boys and young love (“24 Hours,” “Boys”) come forceful ruminations of self-doubt (“I Blame Myself,” “Nobody Asked Me If I Was Okay”). Once a shaky live performer, Ferriera has since gotten tough opening for Miley Cyrus on her Bangerz tour, and now commands the stage with a magnetic presence. Details and ticket information here.
More Than One Way
Southern Exposure, one of the Bay Area’s premier nonprofit galleries, celebrates a 40th anniversary with their annual juried showcase of local artists. More Than One Way runs through Dec. 13, and features 46 artists handpicked from a group of more than 450. Details here.
Alonzo King Lines Ballet
Over his 22 years of making otherworldly ballets in San Francisco, Lines artistic director Alonzo King has collaborated with everyone from jazz saxophonist Pharoah Sanders to Japanese koto master Miya Masaoka. But his most joyous and transporting collaboration is his 2007 work Rasa, with live music by Indian tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain. Details and ticket information here.
