PICKS OF THE WEEK - JULY 26-AUG. 1

CZECH, PLEASE

The Marcela Sembrich Opera Museum in Bolton Landing continues to be more than just a museum with a slate of two dozen concerts, symposiums and films happening throughout the summer at venues across the Lake George region. This week the museum is in the midst of a festival celebrating the late Czech opera composer Leos Janacek. Tonight there's a song recital (at the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, tickets $20), and Friday night and Sunday afternoon there's the premiere of a new play, "Performances," featuring Janacek scholar Michael Beckerman portraying the composer (at the Lake George Theater Lab, tickets $25). A gala concert of the Zemlinsky Quartet and the Luzerne Chamber Players is in store for Saturday night (at the museum, tickets $25).
