JULY

01 "Bonjour, Monsieur Courbet! The Bruyas Collection from the Musée Fabre, Montpellier" at the Sterling & Francine Clark Art Institute (Williamstown, Mass.; www.clarkart.edu) is a tour de force show of 19th-century French painting, with works by Courbet, Delacroix, Géricault, Ingres, and Millet. THROUGH SEPTEMBER 6.

02 Richard Linklater's Before Sunset opens in theaters nationwide. Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) reunite nine years after their chance meeting on a train from Budapest to Vienna (see Before Sunrise). This time, the setting is Paris and the couple has just a few hours to decide if they belong together.

23 The Elephant Vanishes, a stage adaptation of three wonderfully eerie tales by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, premieres at the Lincoln Center Festival (www.lincolncenter.org) in New York City. Simon McBurney directs the co-production of London's Complicite ensemble and Japan's Setagaya Public Theater. THROUGH JULY 25.

AUGUST

06 Pirouette at this altitude? Soloists and dance companies from around the world prove it can be done at the Vail International Dance Festival (Colorado; www.vvf.org). Members of the American Ballet Theatre, London's Royal Ballet, Spain's Victor Ullate Ballet, and Les Ballets Africains strut their stuff. THROUGH AUGUST 15.
