SUMMARY:Belle Spirale Dance Projects and Vancouver Chamber Choir present The Little Match Girl
DESCRIPTION:Belle Spirale Dance Projects and Vancouver Chamber Choir\, in partnership with Covenant House Vancouver\, present The Little Match Girl at the Vancouver Playhouse on November 13 and 14\, 2026.

Suitable for ages 12 and up. Educational tables in the lobby will connect audiences with Covenant House’s life-changing front-line work supporting youth experiencing homelessness.

SUMMARY:Puccini’s Electrifying Tosca
DESCRIPTION:A story of power\, passion\, and betrayal\, propelled by one of Puccini’s most emotionally charged scores\, Tosca delivers opera at its most thrilling. The story unfolds over a breathless 24 hours\, as celebrated singer Floria Tosca finds herself caught between the man she loves\, and a ruthless chief of police determined to possess her. Love\, jealousy\, artistic freedom\, corruption\, and personal sacrifice collide as Tosca is forced into an increasingly impossible confrontation with Scarpia. \n“Tosca is the fifth-most-performed opera in the world\, and we are thrilled to have this Puccini blockbuster return to our stage for the first time in 13 years\,” says Tom Wright\, Vancouver Opera General Director. “Working with Pacific Opera Victoria allows us to open our 67th season with a newly imagined production of a masterpiece by one of opera’s greatest composers. From its explosive opening chords to some of the most recognizable and emotionally powerful music in the operatic repertoire\, Tosca moves with the intensity of a political thriller.”
