Shows about the iconic detective, Sherlock Holmes, continue to be presented all over San Diego County. Theaters such as The Old Globe, Moxie Theatre and Scripps Ranch Theatre have all recently produced shows that tie into the world of Arthur Conan Doyle’s great British sleuth.
William Shakespeare’s plays continue to be re-staged for modern audiences. The strong versions often feature fresh perspectives, while still being true to the classic and timeless text.
Wednesday’s concert at the Jacobs Music Center paired St. Petersburg’s noted Mariinsky Orchestra and the San Diego Symphony under the baton of Valery Gergiev performing Dmitri Shostakovich’s demanding Seventh Symphony, “Lenningrad.” Gergiev and his astute musicians brought unusual illumination to this vast Shostakovich score, and the combined artistry of these orchestras elevated the Seventh Symphony to unexpected heights.
