Vancouver Opera at Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Vancouver, BC
A much anticipated co-production with Toronto’s Canadian Stage Company and Tapestry Opera, The Overcoat – a musical tailoring is an operatic reinterpretation Morris Panych and Wendy Gorling’s 1998 smash-hit play, The Overcoat. With a libretto from Morris Panych and music composed by Canadian Composer, James Rolfe, this production reunites the original creative team. Morris Panych is the director, with choreography by Wendy Gorling, set design by Ken MacDonald. costume design by Nancy Bryant, and lighting design by Alan Brodie.
This extremely important work, addresses the universal human need for compassion and our unfortunate tendency to deny it. The Overcoat – a musical tailoring is so much more than the story of an office worker whose life is turned upside down when he’s robbed of his new overcoat. “Panych and Gorling… have delivered a work that grows richer on each subsequent viewing, a creation that combines laughter with pathos and exhilaration with despair.” – Toronto Star (on 2007’s The Overcoat). The work will debut at the Bluma Appel Theatre in March 2017 before coming to the Vancouver Playhouse—where the original creation premiered 20 years ago.

Vancouver Opera at Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Vancouver, BC
Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin is Russian Lyric Opera at its finest – based on the plot of Pushkin’s verse novel, Eugene Onegin features an emotional tale packed with breathtaking music, choreography, and a duel that will render the audience speechless. Tchaikovsky, as always, brings many symphonic elements to Eugene Onegin including lavish orchestrations and stunning arias in what he described as “seven lyrical scenes.”

Roman Holiday: Young Handel’s Italian Adventures
2018-05-13 14:00 - 16:00
“At age 19, Georg Frideric Händel, not satisfied with being simply a local wonder in his native Germany, set off for Italy—the center of the 18th century musical universe—to find fame and fortune. In Rome, he worked alongside some of the most important musicians of the time and it was there that the young composer wrote some of his most dramatic, virtuosic and exciting works. This exceptional concert features internationally-acclaimed soprano Amanda Forsythe with Pacific MusicWorks Orchestra under the direction of Stephen Stubbs.” (Promo Copy)
