What’s On helps out all the men out there who are at a loss for where
to wine and dine their better halves.

Spicy Popstar Hopeful Wassabi
If Ukraine’s economy could run on
young female pop stars, we could all kiss the crisis goodbye.
Unfortunately that’s not the case, but at least no one can claim any
deficit of good-looking girls dancing and singing on massive
flat-screen TVs. The latest, and youngest, of the bunch to make a run
at the Ukrainian big time is Wassabi, a 16-year-old from Zaporizhya.
With the help of producer Dima Klimashenko, she hit the airwaves last
year with her first pop confection.

TAMPOPO
Oriental restaurant Tampopo instructed guests to come to the high fashion hotspot 31 May all in yellow in honour of that well-known holiday, International Dandelion Day. As Tampopo is the Japanese word for Dandelion, the restaurant clearly thought that this was a day worth marking, inviting ‘Art Blues’ gallery and a team of graffiti artists to create a giant picture of the flower with the help of a giggling gaggle of celebrities including Gallina, and violin maestro Assiya Akhat. |

‘Manon Lescaut’, Opera Theatre (50, Vladimirskaya), 23 June at 19.00
Written in 1731, ‘Manon Lescaut’ is typical peice of ancien regime musical drama designed to set the more genteel ladies’ hearts all of a flutter. The cast of characters is the usual colourful blend of knowing coquettes, wide-eyed innocence and dasging blades looking for fame, love, fortune, and candles to slice in half with their sabres. By no means a brooding Wagnerian spectacle but light and breezy entertainment akin to ‘The Nutcracker’ . Tickets are 5-70hrv. To book call 234-7165. |

Throughout the Soviet era, Ukrainian writer Vasyl Stus fought the regime through the power of words and imagery and though Palimpsest is essentially a love story the nationalist tensions which loom large in the playwright’s works are there for those looking for them. more... |

From Mitsubishi A Good, Standard Ride
Times have changed a little bit in
the world of automobiles here in the Mother City of the Slavs. For a
long time, easy credit and cheap petrol conspired to create a local
situation in which ‘the bigger, the better’ was the operative logic,
which means that you couldn’t walk 10 metres in the city without
bumping into a massive brand-new night-coloured SUV. (Or it bumping
into you.) But with Ukraine feeling the squeeze of the financial
crisis, that’s all over for the moment, and it might be time for
Ukrainians to start taking to smaller cars. The new Mitsubishi Lancer X
Sportback is precisely one of those cars. We took it out for a test
spin.
