Vox Lumiere’s Metropolis at DuPont Theatre in Wilmington

Congratulations to the DuPont Theatre on its 100th anniversary season, and a thank you for a century of introducing us to such cutting-edge performance as Vox Lumiere’s “Metropolis” April 13-15. Critiques of capitalism never looked so cool. See Vox’s eight singers and eight-piece band rock new moves and music to Fritz Lang’s classic silent film as it plays in the background. Upon its release in 1927, “Metropolis,” with its futuristic setting, flying cars and The Machine, seemed destined for such a high-tech treatment. See for yourself why The Los Angeles Times calls the show “absolutely riveting.” (656-4401, duponttheatre.com) —Mark Nardone
