Spring Arts Preview 2023: Things to do, read and watch this season

This spring is shaping up to be a busy one around Metro Vancouver. To help you sort out your entertainment calendar, our writers have put together their picks for must-see theatre, live music, book, visual arts, dance and classical music events.

Call it the grand reopening. Live music is back in a big way this year, with artists hitting the road in huge numbers as they try to recoup a few years of lost revenue and feed fan demand. If the pocketbook hit didn’t hurt so, concert-lovers could be out almost every night of the week taking in any number of potentially great shows.
