Visual Art In many ways it’s shaping up to be a memorable fall, with exhibitions about music, mixed genres and fashion. Also, perhaps, an egotistical season with many self-referential works. "But," we hear someone muttering, "isn't all art self-referential?" by Robin Rice

Fall Arts Schedule

Dance: In the event you are postmoderned out on account of the Fringe Festival, you may be pleased to learn there are plenty of other types of dance heading our way in the coming months.—Deni Kasrel

Opera: A sparse but interesting mix of choices await opera fans this fall (as usual, the spring half of the season will be more substantial). There will be beloved blockbusters and obscure productions, new works and old, tragic and comic. And only two languages: Italian and English.—Peter Burwasser

Music: Get out your autumn sweaters.—Patrick Rapa

Theater: A fall full of comedies! Here’s what looks good.—Toby Zinman
