THURSDAY, JANUARY 10 - SATURDAY, JANUARY 12
If you didn't emerge on January 1 exhausted from all the festivities (and miserably hungover), here's another celebration to enjoy before snuggling into your annual hibernation. The Chinese New Year Spectacular at the Opera House (539 Washington Street, Boston, 617.880.2442) is in its third year in Boston; this year it boasts a completely new production. Presented by New Tang Dynasty Television, the event features more than 100 classical Chinese dancers, vocalists, and musicians, the latter of whom incorporate Western musical instruments into their more traditional repertoires. Performances are on Thursday and Friday at 7:30 p.m., with Friday and Saturday matinees at 2. For tickets ($38 to $120), visit http://ticket.ntdtv.com/boston or call 800.954.4606.
