SOPHIA MEDINA ▼ DOWNTOWN CRY IF YOU WANT TO Since English rock band the Cure found success in the 1980s with its dark and atmospheric sound, it has remained the figurehead of the goth-music scene. That’s largely thanks to frontman Robert Smith, whose messy coif, pale skin, and red lipstick inspire goth fashion to this day. Of course, the music plays a big part in the Cure’s icon status, with tracks like “Boys Don’t Cry” and “Just Like Heaven” transcending its postpunk roots and becoming certified hits. The Cure is currently in the midst of a North American tour that stops at the Kaseya Center on Saturday. 7 p.m. Saturday, at Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 786-777-1000; kaseya- center.com.

Directed by Miami Lyric Opera’s artist director Raffaele Cardone, the production stars soprano Eglise Gutierrez as the titular Lucia. 8 p.m. Saturday and 4 p.m. Sunday, at the Dennis C.
