Festival highlights include the world premiere of Brian Current’s The River of Light in co-production with the Vancouver Bach Choir on May 3 for one performance only. One of Canada’s outstanding composers, Brian Current conceived of this exciting large-scale oratorio for chorus, soloists and orchestra in a multi-movement composition. On April 28th the Vancouver Opera invites audiences of all ages to its Party on the Plaza; a full day of free community stage performances, workshops and activities.

Vancouver Opera has the continuing support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Canada Heritage, the BC Arts Council and BC Provincial Government, the City of Vancouver and Vancouver Civic Theatres. ----------------------------------------------- FESTIVAL OPERAS Faust by Charles Gounod Queen Elizabeth Theatre Sung in French with English SURTITLES™ projected above the stage Evening performances 7:30 p.m. Matinée performance 2:00 p.m. Saturday, April 27, 2019 Thursday, May 2, 2019 Sunday, May 5, 2019 • matinee Gounod’s Faust is the pinnacle of 19th century French opera, it’s full of rich characterization, it’s dramatically exciting, and it’s exuberantly evocative. Faust, an aged and bitter man, sells his soul to Méphistophélès in return for youth and the love of Marguerite, an innocent young woman. By trying to have it all, he loses everything. Gounod’s sensuous and sublimely melodic masterpiece will be presented in a production not seen before in Vancouver. This all Canadian cast features east coast native David Pomeroy and local favourite Simone Osborne. Making his Vancouver Opera debut is Toronto native Robert Pomakov, who appears regularly in the world’s greatest opera houses. Jonathan Darlington returns to conduct the Vancouver Opera Orchestra and Chorus. La Cenerentola by Gioachino Rossini Vancouver Playhouse Sung in Italian with English SURTITLES™ projected above the stage Evening performances 7:30 p.m. Matinée performances 2:00 p.m. Early matinée performances 12:30 p.m. Saturday, April 27, 2019 • matinee Wednesday, May 1, 2019 Thursday, May 2, 2019 • early matinee/relaxed performance Saturday, May 4, 2019 Tuesday, May 7, 2019 Wednesday, May 8, 2019 Thursday, May 9, 2019 Saturday, May 11, 2019 Sunday, May 12, 2019 • matinee In Rossini’s masterpiece, La Cenerentola (Cinderella), the evil stepmother trades places with 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: a magical journey from rags to riches. The opera will be presented in the more intimate Vancouver Playhouse. Led by Maestro Leslie Dala, the orchestra will perform the re-orchestration of Rossini’s score. A refreshingly youthful cast will be directed by Jessie Richardson Award winner Rachel Peake who directed Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro for Vancouver Opera in 2017. Vancouver native Simone McIntosh, praised for her beautiful, gleaming high mezzo-soprano voice, sings the title role of Cinderella. This popular opera hasn’t been seen at Vancouver Opera since 1981! Tickets are available exclusively through the Vancouver Opera Ticket Centre at 604 683 0222 or online at vancouveropera.ca. Special pricing for groups of 10 or more is available by phone.

He recorded two versions of Bach’s great composition—once in 1955 and again in 1981. It is a testament to Gould’s genius that he could record the same piece of music twice—so differently, yet each version brilliant in its own way. Glenn Gould— A State Of Wonder brings together both of Gould’s legendary performances of The Goldberg Variations for the first time in a deluxe, digitally remastered, 3-CD set. Sony Classical celebrates the 70th anniversary of Glenn Gould's birth with a collection of limited edition CDs. This beautifully packaged collection contains the cornerstones of Gould’s career that marked him as a genius of our time. A supreme intrepreter of Bach, these recordings are an essential addition to every music collection.
