Traditionally, Minnesota Opera presents its big American premiere in March; this year, it’s a 297-year-old rediscovered treasure from Germany: Reinhard Keiser’s The Fortunes of King Croesus (March 1–9) … The Guthrie’s production of Heather Raffo’s 9 Parts of Desire (March 1–23), a one-woman play about nine Iraqi women’s lives during war, packs a considerable double-punch of talent, with director Joel Sass behind the scenes and emotional powerhouse Kate Eifrig as the lone performer … Over at Mixed Blood, resident playwright Aditi Brennan Kapil premieres Love Person (February 28–March 22), a romance fluent in no fewer than four languages: Sanskrit, English, American Sign Language, and—wait for it—cyberspeak … For an alternative perspective on what it means to “let loose”: Jawaahir Dance Company will peek behind the mashrabiya (the screen traditional Arabs use to isolate women’s quarters) in Girls Night Out IN (Southern Theater, March 20–30).
