The PGSO is introducing Popera to Prince George. Yes, that's right. It's pop opera and it will be presented by the Canadian ensemble group of four, Vivace, who presents Con Amore at Vanier Hall, Saturday, April 5 at 7:30 p.m.
Vivace, Italian translation for lively, sees Canadians Melody Courage, Tiffany Desrosiers, Marc Devigne, and DJ Calhoun come together with their movie-star glitz and glamour to put a new take on classical and modern music.
Con Amore will be Vivace's first concert with full orchestral back-up band, featuring new arrangement by PGSO music director Kevin Zakresky during this one-night-only performance.
Vivace will perform classical favourites Flower Duet from Lakm, the tenor/bass Duet from The Pearl Fishers, the Puccini arias O mio babbino caro and Nessun dorma, plus crossover numbers like the Celine Dion/Andrea Bocelli hit The Prayer.
Tickets are on sale at the PGSO office, through Ticketmaster, and at Studio 2880 Ticket Centre. Adults are $30, seniors $26, students $15.
