Nuit Blanche
It literally means white night, but it’s interpreted as sleepless night. Nuit Blanche is being celebrated this weekend with art installations, performances, special events, and exhibits all over the city. Think of it as New Years Eve with art.

Master Class
I saw this Terence McNally hit play based on master classes taught by Maria Callas performed by divas Patti Lupone, Dixie Carter, and Zoe Caldwell in New York. Now watch Marie Laforet tear up the scenery and pull a “diva” on her innocent students.

Jeff Koons at Versailles
Jeff Koons knows a thing or two about decadence, so what better place than Versailles and Marie Antoinette’s extravagance to display his outlandish work. Seventeen of his best known sculptures including the gold balloon dog, Split Rocker filled with over 100,000 flowers, and porcelain Michael Jackson with chimp Bubbles are displayed in the palace and gardens.

Bonjour, Richard: We just checked into Le Marceau Bastille on Jules Cesar - right in your area, sort of.
