MAINSTAGE OPERAS

FAUST Charles Gounod

ONE MAN’S DESIRE TO BE YOUNG AGAIN Gounod’s Faust is the pinnacle of 19th century French opera. Faust, an aged and bitter man, sells his soul to Méphistophélès in return for youth and the love of Marguerite. Gounod’s sensuous and sublimely melodic masterpiece will be presented in a production never seen before in Vancouver.

LA CENERENTOLA Gioachino Rossini

A MAGICAL JOURNEY FROM RAGS TO RICHES In Rossini’s masterpiece, La Cenerentola (Cinderella), the evil stepmother is instead a malevolent stepfather, the fairy godmother is a philosopher, and the legendary glass slipper is replaced with a bracelet. Nonetheless, the essence of the fairy tale remains. This popular opera hasn’t been seen at VO since 1981.
