Red Hot Chili Peppers to play Fenway Park

T

ICKETS TO NEXT year’s Red Hot Chili Peppers concert at Fenway Park are now on sale.

The show, scheduled for Sept. 10, 2022, will also feature opening acts St. Vincent and Thundercat.

The band’s upcoming world tour was announced a month ago, but the dates of shows had not been determined yet.

“The 2022 tour will mark the return of guitarist and all round cosmic musician John Frusciante to the group, as well as the band’s first stadium tour in the U.S. The Red Hot Chili Peppers will be performing their career-spanning hits as well as new music from their forthcoming album,” the band said in a statement in October.

Liner notes • A recent Rihanna Instagram post revealed that the singer will be reissuing all eight of her studio albums on limited-edition, colored vinyl.

Titled the “Rih-issue” series, the albums will be sold along with bundles of exclusive other merchandise.

The Instagram post featured an animation showing off the series, with song snippets visualized into various multicolored objects that morphed into discs.

The accompanying caption reads: “the RIH ISSUE cop these limited edition color vinyl + exclusive merch sets before dey gon’ !!! pre-order now at shoprihanna.com” You can watch it by visiting Rhianna on Instagram under the username “badgalriri.”

• Ed Sheeran said that although he’d love to write a musical with his songs serving as the soundtrack, it would have to be an animated one for a simple reason: He’s not a good dancer.

“I would love to do a musical. Hopefully, an animated musical, because I can’t dance,” he said in a German interview as quoted by The Sun. “With an animated musical you could have the character be able to dance.”

yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish.

Musical numbers include “Cabaret,” “Willkommen” and “Maybe This Time.”

The setting, the Kit Kat Klub, is the safe space where the characters can express their personal trials and showcase the social commentary of the time as Nazi Germany is rising around them.

“It’s a perfect setting where the Kit Kat Klub serves as a symbol of two things at once — an ideal where everybody is equal and conflict is absent or where there is oblivious optimism and the happenings outside are ready for a victim,” Comia said.

The show is timeless, with multiple award-winning productions being produced all over the world.

“The productions when being introduced or reintroduced seemed to occur at important points in our nation’s history.

The show, which celebrated its 55 years since Joel Grey first uttered on a Broadway stage ‘Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome’ in 1966, always has something to say and something for its audiences to internalize and experience as it can serve as a mirror of American society — what has changed and what hasn’t,” he continued. “I think ‘Cabaret’ will be a good reminder of what it’s like to be entertained with song and dance and what well-written theater does to a theatergoer when they leave their seat and return to reality.

Our performers, as well as our audiences, will be able to experience humanity and human connections in the shared space together.”

This production features 17 local performers from the Springfield area and beyond, supported by a band of eight led by musical director Bill

“We are so lucky to have found these talented performers who are able to sing, perform and dance, creating these characters while telling these stories that come from the source material,” Zitka said.

K and E Theater Group’s production of “Cabaret” also features Myka Plunkett as Sally Bowles, Christopher Marcus as Clifford Bradshaw, Becca Greene-Van Horn as Fraulein Schneider, Gene Choquette as Herr Schultz, Jay Torres as Ernst Ludwig and Carina Savoie as Fraulein Kost.

“Cabaret” is the second production in K and E Theater Group’s supersized season spanning 2021 and 2022. “Believe: A Holiday Celebration” is coming in December, followed by three productions in 2022 and the return of “Believe” in December 2022.

Opening night for “Cabaret” is tomorrow at 8 p.m. Additional performances are: Saturday at 2 and 7:30 p.m.; Sunday at 2 p.m.; Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m.; Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m.; and Nov. 20 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

General admission tickets are $27. There is no reserved seating.

This production includes strong sexual content, smoking and depictions of violence.

Strobe lighting will be used.

Parental guidance is suggested.

All performances are at Northampton Center for the Arts, 33 Hawley St., Northampton.

Proof of vaccination and face coverings that cover the nose and mouth will be required for entrance and while seated at the Northampton Center for the Arts.

Equine Affaire, you can drop off gently used tack, riding apparel and horse equipment at our new Marketplace consignment shop, then return at the end of the day to see if they sold and maybe even find something for yourself,” Long said.

“We are also excited to bring the International Liberty Horse Show Association Freestyle Invitational to this year’s Equine Affaire. There will be a variety of liberty trainers and horses of all breeds competing in a two-part invitational competition,” she added.

The compulsories will take place Saturday from 9:30 to 11 a.m. and the finals will be held Sunday from 9:30 to 11 a.m., both in the Coliseum.

Competitions are included with Equine Affaire admission.

“The winner will receive an invitation to perform in next year’s Fantasia,” Long said.

Long noted the four-day event is for riders of all ages and that Equine Affaire offers many learning opportunities for younger riders new to the horse world.

“During COVID, when team sports took a backseat, many youths turned to horsemanship where they could continue to be involved in an individual sport,” she said.

Also new to this year’s Equine Affaire with youth in mind is an Interscholas-

tic Equestrian Association Intensive Clinic on Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Mallary South Arena.

Formatted to review items from a judge’s perspective, this clinic will cover English, Western, ranch, and dressage disciplines as they pertain to the IEA show format.

Food vendors will be available on-site for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Following a nighttime meal, visitors can end their day at a musical celebration of the horse called Fantasia in the Coliseum at 7:30 p.m. Featuring outstanding equine and equestrian performers from around the country, their performances will be choreographed to musical styles ranging from traditional and country to classical and contemporary and from dressage and reining to driving, liberty, garrocha and more.

Fantasia requires separate tickets, which range from $14 to $25. Performances are often sold out and those hoping to attend the spectacle are advised to purchase tickets early at equineaffaire.com.

General admission tickets for Equine Affaire — which include entry to the trade show, all theme pavilions, multiple competitions and all clinics, seminars, and demonstrations are on sale at equineaffaire.com. Tickets are $16 for adults, $8 for children ages 7-10 and free for children ages 6 and under.

Four-day passes for adults are also available at $50.

A movie depicting Aretha Franklin’s journey to becoming the Queen of Soul tops the DVD releases this week.

“Respect”: Jennifer Hudson stars as the legendary singer, and was hand-picked for the part by Franklin before her death in 2018.

The film also features Forest Whitaker as the singer’s father, C.L. Franklin, Marlon Wayans as her husband and manager, Ted White, and Marc Maron as producer Jerry Wexler.

“With such a talent as Hudson portraying the Queen of Soul, it’s not surprising that the best moments of ‘Respect’ are the songs,” writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review.

“Though Hudson of course excels musically, her performance of Aretha is a bit stiff, too focused on nailing the odd voice and accent she’s chosen. It’s an unnatural performance, rendering the character a bit alien among everyone else, and frustratingly enigmatic.”

Despite the impressive cast and song catalog to draw upon, Walsh writes that “unfortunately, ‘Respect’ just doesn’t capture the magic of Aretha Franklin, or even her larger than life personality.”

T’S BECOME TRADItional for the restaurant world to honor those who’ve answered a call to serve their country on Veterans Day, which is celebrated today.

But I have found my palate shifting lately.

As regular readers will know, I have been a huge fan of IPAs for a long time.

The style has produced some of my favorite beers for 20-plus years, and I still love them in general.

But lately, I have found that a lot of newer IPAs have left me flat. Maybe — OK, definitely — some of my lack of enthusiasm comes from the glut of New England IPAs clogging the market.

I get their popularity, but I just find most of them overdone, too cloudy and not particularly exciting.

DINE & WINE

4 affordable red wines from Portugal’s Alentejo region

P

ORTUGAL IS PROBably best known for Port when it comes to wine from this wonderful country wedged along the Atlantic Ocean.

But there’s more than just delicious, fortified dessert wine from Portugal’s Douro region, where port wines are produced.

Many Portuguese wines are made with a single, distinct lesser-known grape often only found in Portugal, including Touriga Nacional.

But some of Portugal’s best red wines involve a blend of several different grapes.

This week, I wanted to feature four Portuguese red wines made with a blend of several different grapes.

I also wanted to highlight one of Portugal’s lesserknown wine regions — Alentejo.

Best of all, the four red wines recommended this week from Alentejo cost less than $20 a bottle.

Hope you enjoy.

Alentejo has eight smaller subregions when it comes to wine production. These subregions are: Borba, Evora, Granja-Amareleja, Moura, Portalegre, Redondo, Reguengos and Vidigueira.

Brewery (which certainly has some great IPAs) saw me ordering a few stouts.

Of course, I really enjoy the brewery’s Black Cat Stout, and it also had its delicious Imperial Stout on tap, so it was tempting to stick with the stouts. So I did.

Maybe this is just a temporary phase. Maybe I’ll be back to mostly slurping hoppy IPAs soon. But the change has been surprising to me.

I know that tonight I will be drinking another non-IPA when I crack open one of my favorite beers, Trappistes Rochefort 10.
