Final weekend for Halifax Summer Opera Festival starts tomorrow night with Orpheus in the Underworld

August 14, 2014

This weekend is the last chance to see the main stage shows of the 2014 Halifax Summer Opera Festival, starting with Orpheus in the Underworld on Friday night, at 7:30 pm at the Sir James Dunn Theatre!

The perfect frothy, saucy summer show, this sparkling operetta packs tons of great tunes into its 1 hour 40 minute running time. Our cast of lively young singers bring to life the satirical story of Orpheus, his wife Euridice and all the gods of Olympus and Hades in a new translation by David Mosey.

Tickets are $25/$20/$10 and are available at the door or online at Brown Paper Tickets

The other shows this weekend are:

Giulio Cesare: Saturday August 16, 2 pm at the Bella Rose Arts Centre
