EDMONTON OPERA 2016/17 SEASON GIACOMO PUCCINI

TURANDOT

OCTOBER 22, 25 & 27, 2016 Set in an imagined mythical China, Edmonton Opera’s lavish season-opening production of Turandot is sure to delight even the most discerning Puccini fan. Canadian soprano Othalie Graham stars as Turandot, the ruthless princess with three lethal riddles. Only Calaf, sung by David Pomeroy in his return to Edmonton Opera, has the courage to risk it all — including his life — for a chance to melt her icy heart. Puccini’s breathtaking music, such as the iconic “Nessun dorma,” coupled with this production’s lavish sets and costumes, will ensure that Edmonton Opera’s Turandot will live in your heart and mind for years to come.

GIOACHINO ROSSINI

CINDERELLA (LA CENERENTOLA) FEBRUARY 4, 7 & 9, 2017

It is impossible to deny the magic of Cinderella’s rags-to-riches fairy tale, especially Rossini’s enchanting retelling of this familiar favourite. Enjoy an evening of comedy, mistaken identity, and a few other surprises in the hands of director Rob Herriot (2012’s The Mikado, 2015’s The Magic Flute), whose blend of 1950s youthful exuberance and haute couture will bring you Cinderella as you’ve never imagined in a newly designed production. We are especially delighted to present Rossini’s bel canto opera in its 200th anniversary year. Consider this letter your invitation to the ball and come see why the heroine of Rossini’s Cinderella is not one to be underestimated.

RICHARD STRAUSS

ELEKTRA

MARCH 11, 14 & 16, 2017 The heroine — or anti-heroine — of Richard Strauss’s Elektra is a character based in the myths of ancient Greece who is consumed by tumultuous revenge. Set in the palace of the murdered King Agamemnon in the years following the Trojan War, this opera navigates the psychological turmoil of Elektra, obsessed with avenging the death of her father. Strauss’s spine-chilling score will keep you on the edge of your seat as Elektra gets closer and closer to her target: her mother Klytämnestra.
