Modern Pirates: The Washington Ballet's Le Corsaire, an update of the 19th century classic by Marius Petipa, premieres tonight in the Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theater. Billed as a "swashbuckling adventure", the show features pirates, pashas, and the slave girls who love them. $20 - $125; 8 p.m.
Noir Master: Director David Lynch, whose influence on modern filmmaking is vast, is getting a retrospective at Arlington's Artisphere. Each Wednesday through April 27, one of Lynch's film-noir works will be shown; tonight it's his powerful 1980 black-and-white biopic The Elephant Man. $6; 8 p.m.
