SUMMARY:Broadway Across Canada's Come From Away
DESCRIPTION:The national tour of COME FROM AWAY\, a Broadway musical about the true story of the small town that welcomed the world\, will make its highly anticipated return to Vancouver for a limited engagement from September 10 to 15\, 2024\, at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.\n\n\nCOME FROM AWAY tells the remarkable true story of 7\,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed\, and nerves ran high\, but uneasiness turned into trust\, music soared into the night\, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.\n\n\nOn September 11\, 2001\, the world stopped. On September 12\, their stories moved us all.\n\n\nCharles McNulty of the Los Angeles Times called the show “An affecting\, stirring and unpretentious new musical.  Christopher Ashley’s production lets the simple goodness of ordinary people outshine sensational evil\,” and Bob Verini of Variety raved\, “Superb! Canadians Irene Sankoff and David Hein have forged a moving\, thoroughly entertaining tribute to international amity and the indomitable human spirit.”\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Vancouver Opera presents CARMEN
DESCRIPTION:Concluding the season is one of the most beloved and widely performed works in operatic history\, Carmen by Georges Bizet. \nThe blood of passion surges and spills in one of the most beloved and widely performed works in operatic history. Animated by an all-star cast and audacious stagecraft\, the conflicting worlds and failed romance of the sensual\, rebellious Carmen and the possessive military man Don José absolutely burst off the stage. \nFrom the stirring Toreador Song to the tauntingly seductive aria Habanera\, Georges Bizet’s enduring and richly coloured melodies transcend the hummable; they don’t just gesture towards emotions\, they embody the many shapes and shades of passion\, from infatuation to violent jealousy. \n\n\n	Related
