It involves scenes of hypochondria, catalepsy, implied incest, and a grizzly live burial. The dramatic plot might seem perfect for operatic treatment. But San Francisco Opera sadly squanders the opportunity owing to the dry music and a dull staging.

Kitsch rules. It all begins with video images of a raven atop a castle. On opening night, the clichéd melodrama of the image provoked laughter from the audience. And the production continues in this spirit, cycling predictably through images of windswept trees, the sound of horses’ hooves and frequent cuts back to the raven. Despite all this visual and sonic activity, the staging feels strangely static. This impression is compounded by the fact that the performers mostly stand still while singing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getty’s music is sparse, creepy and chromatic.

But mostly, he sings about the girl he left behind, whose “heart is as big as this whole goddamn jail, and she’s sweeter than saccharine at a drug store sale.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00Ig33jctXs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prine, as his many fans know, has mixed small, usually antiquated details with life’s bigger questions for decades. The back door screen from “Hello in There.” The graveyards and pawn shops from “Souvenirs.” The commuter train from “Bruised Orange (Chain of Sorrow).” The penny stuck in a burned-out fuse from “Grandpa was a Carpenter.” I could go on and on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Live, Prine tosses off these details with a nod and a wink, usually garnering a laugh from the audience, if only to split up the terse emotional impact of songs like “Sam Stone” or “The Great Compromise.” He’s simply one of America’s greatest songwriters, and when he plays this week at the Warfield, expect his crackerjack two-piece backing band to elevate songs like “Lake Marie” and “You Got Gold” to transcendental status. Ramblin’ Jack Elliott opens the show. \u003ca href=\"http://www.axs.com/events/279151/john-prine-tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, this week’s calendar is teeming with other great live music in the Bay Area.

The middle\u003cbr>\nschool programs all share the program name “Giant Steps,” to not only indicate the progress the students make as a result of participating, but also refers to the jazz composition, “Giant Steps” by the late John Coltrane. Giant Steps program directors and faculty are selected for their extensive experience and recognized success teaching jazz at the middle school level. Taught at local host school sites and during SJW’s jazz immersion camps in the summer on the Stanford University campus, students follow a personalized curriculum that includes improvisation, jazz styles, ear training, technique, and playing in small and large ensembles. The program culminates in a final public performance at the end of each academic semester and at the end of each week of jazz immersion camp.\u003c/p>\n\n",

You only truly know the holidays have arrived when a bunch of San Francisco’s most celebrated drag queens exchange their heels for ice skates and take to the rink in Union Square. Although the event feels a little like a publicity stunt for big business — Safeway, Bank of the West and Alaska Airlines all have their names slapped on this icecapade — performances in the great art of lip-synching by the likes of Mutha Chuka, Paju Munro, and BeBe Sweetbriar while careening across the ice will doubtless bring some much-needed lipstick, lamế and levity to the downtown holiday shopping scramble.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Thursday, Dec. 10: \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://www.eventbrite.com/e/james-bond-007-dance-party-theme-thursdays-opal-mtn-vw-tickets-19774119925\">\u003cb>\u003ci>James Bond 007 Dance Party\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at Opal, Mountain View. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes the best arts events are the ones you get to participate in yourself. And while it’s become commonplace for karaoke aficionados across the land to give their all to renditions of everything from Shirley Bassey’s \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Diamonds are Forever\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to Adele’s \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Skyfall\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, hitting the dance floor to express one’s love for all things 007 hasn’t quite yet become quite as run-of-the-mill. Opal, a well-appointed nightspot in Mountain View, is offering Bond fans the chance to sashay to the music that’s helped to make the long-running franchise one of the most revered in pop culture history.

This year’s event, which brings together pros like Jeff Raz and Robert Sicular with amateur performers from all over the community, takes its cue from the \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Commedia dell’Arte performance traditions of the early 17th century. The schtick revolves around a bunch of ragtag comedians as they attempt to sabotage a classy masque thrown by the Doge of Venice.

FaultLine was nominated for 15 Theater Bay Area Awards this year, and Dead Dog’s Bone is the final show of the hardworking young company’s season. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I can’t let you go without sharing a few more suggestions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Now through Sunday, Dec. 13: 42nd Street Moon presents \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://www.42ndstmoon.org/scrooge-in-love\">\u003cb>\u003ci>Scrooge in Love\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at the Eureka Theatre, San Francisco.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Now through Sunday, Dec. 20: TheatreFIRST presents \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://www.theatrefirst.com/the-seafarer/\">\u003cb>\u003ci>The Seafarer\u003c/i>\u003c/b> \u003c/a>\u003cb>at the Live Oak Theatre, Berkeley.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Now through Sunday, Dec. 13: \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://www.emspacedance.org/emspace-detour/\">\u003cb>EmSpace Dance and Detour Dance\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at NOHspace, San Francisco.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Housed in a custom box that looks like something the band might’ve kept their stash in, the discs are accompanied by a 288-page book with liner notes, remembrances from fans, and an essay by Dead archivist Nicholas Meriwether. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
