EDMONTON OPERA 2010 | 2011 SEASON

LA BOHÈME

Puccini October 23, 26, 28, 2010 Everyone has experienced the hope and loss of first love, and Puccini takes this universal experience to new heights with the perennial favourite, La Bohème. In the gritty world of Parisian ghettos, Rodolfo, a young poet, has his life turned upside-down by his passionate love for the fragile and doomed seamstress, Mimi.

THE ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO Mozart February 5, 8, 10, 2011

Edmontonians know a little laughter lights up a cold, dark February night, and Mozart’s musical wit warms opera audiences with the comic romance The Abduction from the Seraglio. Young Belmonte journeys to the exotic East to rescue his beloved Konstanze, who’s been imprisoned by an amorous Pasha, and madness ensues as the lovers battle to outwit a bumbling and jealous vizier.

THE BARBER OF BARRHEAD

Rossini revised!

February 15-26, 2011

A collaboration between Edmonton Opera and Fringe Theatre Adventures takes family fun from Seville, Spain and into the Alberta Klondike for The Barber of Barrhead.

Prospectors seek and lose their fortunes during the Gold Rush, as Figaro, a barber and jack-of-all-trades, endeavours to unite the young Al with his love Rosie, despite the dastardly innkeeper Bart’s devious dealings.

TOSCA

Puccini April 9, 12, 14, 2011 A tale of desperate choices embroiled in art and politics concludes the 2010/2011 season with Tosca, Puccini’s darkest and most powerful masterpiece. Tosca, a fiery and passionate diva, struggles over whether to surrender to Rome’s brutal Chief of Police to save the man she loves.

Opera is the greatest of all the arts – it is music, theatre, dance and the visual arts combined.

Edmonton Opera’s mandate is to produce opera of the highest possible calibre, and to make their productions as accessible as possible in the community.

With a proud 47 year history in Edmonton, Edmonton Opera has a financially secure, artistically strong and promising future.

Opera that Excites.

Edmonton Opera strives to excite, thrill, move, challenge, dare and celebrate with each and every production offered.

Opera offers us bigger worlds, and whether you’re eight or 80, the Edmonton Opera is sure to delight and thrill you with their magnificent forty-eighth season.

The mystery and romance of Paris come alive with Puccini’s La Bohème; sharp silliness abouts with shipwrecks, sultans and stranded sopranos in Mozart’s Abduction from the Seraglio; love and revenge mingle with power and beauty in Puccini’s Tosca; and Rossini is revised and relocated to the Alberta Klondike with Barber of Barrhead.
