This Weekend

Trick-or-treaters get a head start on all that sugary schwag tomorrow at downtown Silver Spring's Halloween Spooktacular. It's more fun, food and high-fructose corn syrup than you can wag a bloody finger at. The festivities along Ellsworth Drive run from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

For high-brow entertainment, check out the libretto performance (that's opera minus theatrics) of "Dido and Aeneas" tomorrow night (above). It's the Bach Sinfonia's first performance at its new space, the Woodside United Methodist Church (8900 Georgia Ave at Ballard Street). The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and costs $25 per seat.

Don't forget to reclaim that 60 minutes of sleep The Man ripped from your eyes this spring. Daylight saving time ends early Sunday morning.

Thanks to the Bach Sinfonia for the photo.
