There is no better way to celebrate the end of a painfully long and draining school assignment than entering into the delightfully sparkly dream that is Beach House. With an added drummer, the trio hypnotized the crowd into euphoria at the Opera House Tuesday night.

The crowd swayed to the melancholic rhythms and Victoria Legrand’s hauntingly beautiful voice in a set that drew heavily on their newest release Teen Dream.

The highlight of the night happened during “Zebra,” the infectious Teen Dream opener. Legrand, in her black and white outfit, pulled out some puppeteering skills and actually looked like a black and white horse marching among us as she mimed her way through the song.

The dreaminess of the night was perfected by the three-dimensional silver diamonds spinning behind the band. They reflected pink and green lights onto the stage and into the crowd to help bring Beach House’s dream to life.
