True Colors There are many fantastic things about this city: incredible sports teams, the best seafood in the country and a staggering number of Dunkin’ Donuts. But visitors and locals alike shouldn’t forget to take advantage of Boston’s thriving arts scene. From May 2–12, Boston Ballet stages the repertory program Chroma at the Boston Opera House (539 Washington St., 617-695-6955). As the first professional ballet company in New England, Boston Ballet is known worldwide as an epicenter of innovation and excellence. Chroma, named for Wayne McGregor’s contemporary ballet that serves as the show’s centerpiece, is no exception. Featuring an original score by Joby Talbot, it debuted at London’s Royal Opera House in 2006 to great acclaim. As if that wasn’t enticing enough, the performance begins with George Balanchine’s Serenade (pictured above) and finishes with his Symphony in C. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of ballet or don’t know what a deboulé is, Chroma definitely won’t disappoint.—Sierra Lister

What Boston’s buzzing about Warfare Remixed A star of HBO’s smash hit show “True Blood” has turned 4.29.13 in his fangs for the pen. Denis O’Hare (pictured), who previously won a Tony Award for Take Me Out, has teamed up with acclaimed theater artist Lisa Peterson to create a dramatic new envisioning of Homer’s epic poem, The Iliad. O’Hare and Peterson’s version, An Iliad, does reverence to the mythology, warfare and mysticism of the original work while examining it through the lens of contemporary headlines. This unlikely juxtaposition forces viewers to ask if anything really has changed since the days of Homer and strives to investigate society’s seemingly insatiable hunger for violence. Stunningly acted and intelligently written, this OBIE-winning collaboration is on stage at the Paramount Theatre (559 Washington St., 617-824- 8400) through May 4. —Paul Adler

6 Panorama Hubbub top photo: Marty Sohl; Bottom photo: Joan Marcus A Chop off the old Block Once upon a time, the South End was a less-than-desirable area filled with crumbling Victorian townhouses. Now it’s a trendy, ethnically diverse neighborhood with a dog bakery. This section of Boston is constantly evolving, with new cafes and restaurants popping up seemingly on a daily basis. One of the newest eateries to emerge is Boston Chops (1375 Washington St., 617-227-5011), co-owned by Chris Coombs and Brian Piccini. Coombs already runs two successful restaurants: Deuxave, a French restaurant in the Back Bay, and Dbar in Dorchester. Boston Chops is a steakhouse with an intimate and modern interior, where you can order classics like the 14-oz. prime N.Y. strip, the massive 22-oz. bone-in rib eye or one of six steak frites options. And for the more adventurous, check out the “Rarely Celebrated” menu for roasted bone marrow or a marinated beef heart served with bacon and mushrooms. —Sierra Lister

Outside In Since the earliest days of mankind, human beings have been drawing on the walls. Acclaimed San Francisco-based artist Barry McGee followed this primal instinct early in his career as a street artist before eventually bringing his work indoors to the world of galleries and museums. Now the Institute of Contemporary Art (refer to listing, page 17) adorns its walls with a mid-career survey of McGee’s eclectic work. Filled with influences from graffiti, comics, sign painting and folk art, McGee’s creations incorporate drawing, painting, printmaking and found objects, often engulfing the viewer with a wealth of imagery and—in the case of a few motor-operated sculptures and a towering video installation made from old televisions—noise as well. A strong sense of community also permeates the exhibit, the final room of which contains a slew of displays containing artifacts and art contributed by local colleagues. —Scott Roberto

What’s Brewing In operation since 1986, Harpoon Brewery (306 Northern Ave., 617-456-2322) has long been a welcome presence on Boston’s waterfront. Until now, however, the maker of such signature libations as Harpoon IPA and UFO Hefeweizen had limited space to welcome craft beer fans. The February debut of the new Visitor Center and Beer Hall changed all that. This 6,000-square foot addition to the original structure—where patrons can quaff a pint of their favorite brew and even order a fresh-baked pretzel while enjoying a view of the city skyline—seats up to 300 people. And for those who want an inside look at how that pint was created, there’s even a new tour that takes visitors on catwalks above the brewery floor.—Scott Roberto top Photo: Andy Ryan; middle: Barry McGee, Untitled, 1997 BOSTONGUIDE.COM 7 a peek at the past Taking the Mystery out of Boston History The Swan Boats

here are few Boston sights more iconic than that Tof the elegant Swan Boats gliding through the Public Garden lagoon. Countless films, television shows and novels have included this legendary attraction, but few visitors actually know its rich history. Follow along as Panorama traces the unique boats’ surprising past. The story of the swans begins with Robert Paget, who began a boat-for-hire business in 1877 on the Public Garden lagoon. Inspired by Wagner’s romantic opera Lohengrin, in which a gallant knight rides a swan across a lake to rescue a maiden, Paget set out to design his own swanlike vessels. Capitalizing on the sudden popularity of the bicycle, Paget outfitted his Swan Boats with benches, a brass seat and a Julia’s death, her youngest son, John, took the reins pedal system. and made vast improvements to the fleet.

Today, visitors from The boats were an instant hit and, while Paget across the globe travel to the verdant Public Garden died only a year after their invention, his wife Julia for a reasonably priced ride on these utterly singular carried on and widely expanded the business.
