PREMIERES | Thursday, June 10, 7:30PM
When forbidden passion cannot stay silent, a tragic hero journeys through blame and lust on her tempestuous search for serenity. Britten’s last vocal work covers the range of a full-scale opera in 15 minutes, including “…some of the most delicate orchestration ever written.” Bernard Holland, The New York Times. PHAEDRE is a musical ascension to annihilation.
Featuring soprano Allyson McHardy & musicians of the Victoria Symphony
Collaboration between Pacific Opera Victoria and the Victoria Symphony
Produced by Roll Focus
