MUSIC

BONA FIDE The MySpace Music Tour might sound like a venture for the “tween” set, but the series features a sophisticated lineup of dance-music artists. The band Justice (pictured, near right), which rose to fame last summer with the release of its album “D.A.N.C.E.,” headlines the New York stop. Joining them is the electro-funk duo Chromeo (right); the Montreal natives released “Fancy Footwork” on Vice Records last year. They perform tracks from the album, including “Needy Girl” and “Bonafied Lovin.” Chromeo band member David “Dave 1” Macklovitch is currently a doctoral candidate in French literature at Columbia University. Tomorrow, 8 p.m., Madison Square Garden, the WaMu Theater, 32nd Street at Seventh Avenue, 212-465-6741, $25–$59.50.

OPERA

MARK MY WORDS The New York City Opera has collaborated with the Mark Morris Dance Company to stage a modern interpretation of Henry Purcell’s 1691 semi-opera, “King Arthur.” The plot focuses on the titular king’s struggle against the invading Saxons and his heroic rescue of his lover, Emmeline. The production is directed and choreographed by Mr. Morris, who has entirely eliminated dramatist John Dryden’s libretto. Mr. Morris isn’t the only heavyweight name attached to the opera: The sets are designed by award-winning Broadway veteran Adrianne Lobel and the colorful costumes by fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi. “For audiences who cling tightly to a discernible Arthur, Oswald, Emmeline, et al,” the departure from Dryden’s text “may well be unforgivable,” Mary Staub wrote in the March 5 New York Sun. “But for those willing to be carried along by the joyous spirit of Mr. Morris’s inventions, it promises to please.” Wednesday, 7:30 p.m., Thursday, 8 p.m., Saturday, 1:30 and 8 p.m., New York State Theater, Lincoln Center, 20 Lincoln Center Plaza near 65th Street, 212-721-6500, $16-$130.

READINGS

VINTAGE WOLFE Author Tom Wolfe celebrates Picador’s reissue of his classic first novel as part of the “Upstairs at the Square” series presented by Barnes & Noble Union Square. Argentinean composer and pianist Fernando Otero performs and joins Mr. Wolfe in a conversation moderated by journalist Katherine Lanpher. When it was published in 1987, “The Bonfire of the Vanities” was held up as the ultimate satire of the “Me Decade.” In it, a yuppie investment banker, Sherman McCoy, misses his stop on an expressway and finds himself lost in the South Bronx. Going from Wall Street to the means streets of New York City, Mr. Wolfe captures comically and cynically the similarities among that era’s social climbers, ruling class, and underprivileged. Mr. Wolfe reads from the novel and Mr. Otero performs selections on the bandoneon, an accordion-like instrument used in tango music. Thursday, 7 p.m., Barnes & Noble Union Square, 33 E. 17th St. at Union Square, 212-253-0810, free.

TALKS

BRINGING OUT THE BIG GUNN A mentor to the competing designers on the popular Bravo show “Project Runway,” Tim Gunn, discusses fashion, newly crowned winner Christian Siriano, and reality television in a conversation with NY1 correspondent Budd Mishkin, whose weekly show, “One-on- One,” features interviews with prominent New Yorkers. Mr. Gunn’s appearance on the show has made him a fan favorite — and he’s even spawned a catchphrase, “make it work.” Mr. Gunn is also the creative director at Liz Claiborne and the honorary chairman of the fashion design department at Parsons the New School for Design. “Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style,” which also aired on Bravo this past season, featured its namesake dispensing badly needed style advice to fashion-challenged women. Tomorrow, 8 p.m., 92nd Street Y, Kaufmann Concert Hall, 1395 Lexington Ave. at 92nd Street, 212-415-5500, $26.

BOOKS GET GRAPHIC The New York Center for Independent Publishing hosts “Splat,” a symposium focusing on the graphic novel. The author of “Zot!” and “Making Comics” (Harper Paperbacks), Scott McCloud, delivers the keynote speech. In recent years, graphic novels have gained an increasingly wide following among readers. Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel “Persepolis,” an account of her childhood in Iran, was adapted into a motion picture of the same name and nominated this year in the best animated feature film category. The day-long symposium consists of three panels, including a hands-on session devoted to workshops such as “Storytelling” and “Where To Start With Art.” Saturday, times vary, New York Center for Independent Publishing, 20 W. 44th St. at Fifth Avenue, 212-764-2021, call or visit nycip.org for complete registration information.

An interdenominational panel of participants includes rabbis Henry Michelman and Yitz Greenberg, and cantors Paul Zim and Richard Botton (schedule permitting).
