MICHEL MARC BOUCHARD AND KEVIN MARCH
LES FELUETTES (Lilies) OCTOBER 21, 24 & 27, 2017
Over the last 30 years Quebec playwright Michel Marc Bouchard’s Les Feluettes (Lilies) has become a beloved Canadian classic. Known for its lyrical romanticism, the play unfolds around a moment in 1912 when a group of college boys in Quebec rehearse Gabriele D’Annunzio’s sensual play The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian. As a love triangle develops, the young men struggle through their feelings with tragic consequences. In 2016, Les Feluettes was finally realized in perhaps its truest form — as opera. Co-commissioned by Opéra de Montréal and Pacific Opera Victoria, the world premiere of Les Feluettes was a resounding critical success, earning Australian composer Kevin March praise for creating a “beautiful and powerful opera experience” that “harkens to 19th century Romantic composers” (Times Argus).
W.S. GILBERT AND ARTHUR SULLIVAN
HMS PINAFORE FEBRUARY 3, 6 & 9, 2018
Sail the high seas with the quirky crew of Gilbert and Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore! This comic operetta is a worldwide favourite, adding a nautical spin to the classic ‘boy meets girl, boy can’t get girl because of her higher social station’ narrative. When young Josephine, daughter of the Captain, falls in love with a lowerclass sailor Ralph Rackstraw, mayhem ensues as the two lovers try to elope… while at sea! Edmonton Opera presents a delightful new production of this beloved topsy-turvy musical journey as reimagined by Cinderella and The Magic Flute director Rob Herriot.
WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART
DON GIOVANNI APRIL 14, 17 & 20, 2018
Opera’s most notorious bad boy is back in action for our final offering in the 2017/18 season. Don Giovanni is arrogant, sly, and takes pride in his promiscuity, leaving a trail of broken hearts along his egotistical path. Yet no one can resist his charm — women are willing to jeopardize their marriages for him, and men will do whatever it takes to walk in his shadow. But what happens when Don Giovanni comes across a mysterious force he cannot charm, outsmart, or conquer? The crowning masterpiece of Mozart’s Italian repertoire, Don Giovanni is a fascinating opera that combines elements of comedy, tragedy, and the supernatural, asking essential questions about human morality.
