It’s Friday night, and you’re hundreds of miles from home — what to do? Getting a taste of the local performing arts scene is one of the most thrilling ways to plug into a destination. Plus, scoring tickets to a critically acclaimed dance or theater production can give you an inside view of some of the world’s most iconic venues. Whether you see a Broadway show, attend a tango festival in Buenos Aires, or catch a performance at an 18th-century opera house in Venice, you’re bound to have an evening to remember.
