Katya Kabanova
This month, the Florida Grand Opera broadens its repertoire with Leos Janácek’s ‘Katya Kabanova’. The Czech-born composer’s stormy marriage to a German girl half his age inspired this tragedy set in a small Russian town in the 1860s. Boris, a young man dependant on his overbearing uncle, falls in love with Katya, the wife of a local merchant. Following a moonlit assignation, however, Katya breaks down and confesses her indiscretion to her husband. Tormented by guilt, she then throws herself in the Volga River.
Dar Maghreb
Great for parties, this Middle Eastern restaurant is a feast for the eyes and the belly. Belly dancers and exotic waiters in traditional Moroccan clothes will transport you to ‘One Thousand and One Arabian Nights’ as you eat sweet lamb in honey sauce or chicken and almond filled filo pastries off ornate ivory and wood tables. Sitting on puffy pillows, eating with your fingers and surrounded by (replica) 15th-century Moorish architecture, it’s hard to believe that when you leave you’ll be pounding the pavement of Sunset Boulevard and not entering into the heavily spiced Casablanca air.
