Fantastic Mr. Fox
Mr. Fox is a very clever fox. But oftentimes, it is the cleverest of foxes that makes the greatest enemies. Composed by Opera San Antonio’s Artistic Director Tobias Picker, Fantastic Mr. Fox chronicles a gang of woodland creatures as they attempt to outwit three very brutish farmers. Picker was commissioned by the Roald Dahl Foundation to compose the music for this live action spectacle in 1998 (over 10 years before Wes Anderson’s film made Mr. Fox famous!). Tuesday’s performance is Opera San Antonio’s inaugural offering at the Tobin. $89, 7:30pm, 9/23 Tuesday, Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, 115 Auditorium Circle, (210) 223-3333, operasa.org

Singin' in the Rain
To say this movie is merely a “masterpiece” is doing it a disservice. To lump it in with all the other movies that are just great is unfair. SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN transcends its medium and tap dances straight into your heart. It's a film you can watch on a cold night and feel it flush your face with warmth. It’s a song you can sing when rain is pouring down on you and you couldn't care less because you're in love. This isn't one of those classic movies you have to see because it's “important” and your viewing experience will feel anything but scholastic. You need to see this movie because YOU NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE. $10, 7pm, 9/24 Wednesday, Alamo Drafthouse Stone Oak, 22806 U.S. Hwy. 281 N., (210) 677-8500, drafthouse.com/stoneoak
