Opera
THE MOZART MIRACLE
Friday November 7, 7pm
Carnegie Theatre, 401 Main
Free
City Opera Vancouver presents a special Festival event examining the name and nature of Mozart using CDs, DVDs and live performance. Was Mozart really the prodigy he is claimed to be? What was unique about his work? What is his style? What might he have achieved had he lived longer than his thirty-five years? And why does Mozart remain so alive today? Join soprano Bahareh Poureslami, pianist David Boothroyd and narrator Charles Barber for this intimate and exciting look at one of the most important composers who ever lived. You will hear music you never believed possible.
This event was on Day 10 of the 12 Days of the Heart of the City Festival. Please check the website for more events!
