The Guide

Based on the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, this family-friendly, magical chamber opera presents Princess Dora, not as a damsel in distress, but as a heroine.

A magic feather leads the shy, self-doubting princess to an enchanted underworld ruled by a giant Frog King. She must summon her courage and compassion as she faces a series of mysterious and comic adventures that change her life. Completing her quest, she saves her father’s kingdom from the plots of her selfish sisters and earns her right to the crown.

Music by Lori Laitman and libretto by Dana Gioia. Also on Saturday, at 2:00.

Las Vegas's unique cultural landscape is the focus of this exhibition by David Lampel, with works in various mediums, including brush, charcoal, and clay, and dioramas and collages. It's a city that celebrates the destruction of its historical symbols and gathering places and the implosion and demolition of these structures evoke a complex blend of joy and nostalgia, marking a distinct separation from the past.

It runs through March 20th, with a closing reception on that date from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Light refreshments will be served. Reserve a spot and find more info at Get Tickets.

The center is open Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm. Saturday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Closed Sunday.

Native plants, good! Invasive plants, bad! Protectors of Tule Springs invites you to help free Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument from some of those invasive plants/weeds to help native plants thrive.

Volunteers will meet at the monument entrance at the intersection of Durango and Moccasin. You must be able to walk, stand, and bend to participate. Gloves and trash bags will be provided.

Much of this exhibit is his metal and ceramic vessels, some which look like large gemstone-shaped planters, others look like metal cones, some of them actually holding plants. Luis incorporated found objects and, according to the exhibit preview, the works bridge contemporary design and the visual style known as brutalism. They’re industrial-looking, but they’re also literally holding plants. If you spotted a theme for this month’s art picks, there’s a marriage of the man-made and the natural world in this exhibition, and like a lot of great art, it projects juxtaposition until it doesn’t.

Note: Available through March 31.

Desert Oasis: Passage of Time and Places features the work of Bulgaria-born but Las Vegas-residing artist Valentin Yordanov. You may have seen his work around town, from Meow Wolf to Downtown Summerlin. His work is largely abstract and geometrical in nature, and here it’s inspired by Las Vegas, both the city part and the natural part at its boundaries, and there’s a slew of other subjects referenced in the work as well, all clearly interconnected. And, like Vegas, it’s very bright and eye-catching -- but honestly, that’s where the explicit Vegas connections stop. It’s definitely looking at the valley through a different lens.

Note: Gallery is open M-F and closed Sat-Sun.
