Sometime in the middle of the 20th century, a thriller named At Hotel MacGuffin was not released to cinemas. This play, which does exist, is an adaptation of that movie, which does not exist. Miss Olivia Blonde, a mysterious transsexual, checks into the Hotel MacGuffin. She fled her apartment, plagued by a cockroach infestation, only to find the hotel itself is infested—with spies. Alongside a precocious heirex, dashingly incompetent concierge, and brassy lounge singer, Miss Blonde is swept up into a queer case of missing persons, missing jewels, and missing the point. Drag, melodrama, noir, and cabaret combine, leaving you feeling like you’ve been here before, you’ll be here again, and you’ll still be looking for that last piece. An instant classic from a time that didn’t happen, you never loved the original and can now enjoy all the nostalgia you don’t remember in an evening you’ll never forget.

Alexandre Kantorow, a “fire-breathing virtuoso” (Gramophone), performs Brahms’s monumental Romantic concerto, beloved for its central Adagio, which Brahms called “a gentle portrait” of Clara Schumann. Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream’s blend of comedy and romance is brilliantly captured in Mendelssohn’s music, from the braying donkey in the Overture, fairies in the Scherzo, to joyous newlyweds in the famous wedding march. Iván Fischer conducts.
