THE TO-DO LIST

“From Here to Eternity”

June 9

This historic NorShor Theatre

This historic NorShor Theatre, which is just more than a year into its newly rehabilitated life, plays up the historic part with monthly screenings of classic films, followed by a discussion with local film-heads and stage regulars Justin Peck, Jody Kujawa and Jason Scorich. (Never fear, introverts, you don’t have to stick around for the chitter-chat). This month’s pick is “From Here To Eternity,” a 1953 film starring Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Deborah Kerr and Frank Sinatra. Directed by Fred Zinnemann, it’s set in Honolulu, pre-Pearl Harbor attack. Lancaster’s character begins an affair with his commanding officer’s wife. Tickets: $12. norshoretheatre.com

“L’elisir d’amore (The Elixir of Love)”

June 14 & June 16

Marshall Performing Arts Center

Lyric Opera of the North considers the power of the love potion in Donizetti’s “The Elixir of Love,” a comic tale of how a retelling of “Tristan and Isolade” inspires sweet Nemorino to spend all his cash to test a similar magic on Adina, his love interest. Chaos ensues. The stage director is Bradley Greenwald, a Twin Cities actor, makes his directorial debut with the local opera company. He’s done a lot of everything — including, this past winter, two holiday shows at almost the same time. Dirk Meyer of the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra, is the music director. Principles include Sarah Lawrence, Gennard Lombardozzi, Lee Gregory and Rod Nelman. Tickets: Start at $37. Loonopera.org
