For those of you with a bad memory, we are here to remind you that it's Valentine's Day coming up this Saturday! To make it look like you made your plans months in advance, what better way to show them than by getting two tickets to a romantic show? Here are a few concerts this week that might pique your interest.
The LA Phil has planned a night of Gershwin and Rachmaninoff with French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet. You're in luck because this concert is repeated every day from Thursday-Sunday.
Musica Angelica features Henry Purcell's the Fairy Queen, based on "A Midsummer's Night Dream" at Zipper Hall.This concert will also repeat on the 15th as well at the newly opened Broad Stage.
For a more sultry evening, the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles puts on a Valentine's cabaret at Cinegrill, also repeated on the 15th.
Thibaudet plays Gershwin | February 12th-15th @ various times
the Fairy Queen with Musica Angelica | February 14th @ 8 PM and February 15th @ 4 PM
Valentine's Cabaret | February 14th @ 8 PM and 10 PM, February 15th @ 3 PM and 7 PM
