Dallas opens the month with a Winspear Opera House matinee of The Cunning Little Vixen, a Janáček fairy tale about a fox and a forest that sits oddly beside the Old Crow Medicine Show bluegrass bill at the Majestic later that same Sunday. Within a few days the bill swings from Pan-Pot’s techno at Ductwork to David Sedaris reading at the Majestic, so the week is less a single scene than a series of very different rooms.
