SUMMARY:Casey and Diana
DESCRIPTION:“Casey” is Casey House in Toronto-Canada’s first hospice for men dying of AIDS. “Diana” is Princess Diana-who visited Casey House in 1991-and changed the world’s attitude towards the disease. Thomas has spent five months in Casey House waiting to die. Now he’s hoping he’ll live long enough to meet the Princess he idolizes. \nWhy I Chose This Play\nAs a gay man\, I lived through this horrific time-so much fear and so little information. We heard stories of hospital staff too frightened to deliver meals to AIDS patients (which was actually the impetus behind the founding of Casey House). Thomas in this play reminds me of so many men who contracted this disease\, facing death with a mixture of anger and sadness-and a helluva lot of snap and flair-! Michael Shamata \nThis production of Casey and Diana is supported in part by a generous gift from Elaine Montgomery and Robert Maitland \nTicket Prices\nPart of your 2025-26 Season Subscription Package All tickets to this show are offered with Pay-What-You-Can Price Options \nURLs:\nFacebook: https://go.evvnt.com/3555250-2?pid=10320\nInstagram: https://go.evvnt.com/3555250-3?pid=10320\nYouTube: https://go.evvnt.com/3555250-4?pid=10320 \nDate and Time: Tue\, 21 Apr 2026 19:30 – Sun\, 17 May 2026 21:30 \nVenue details: Belfry Theatre\, 1291 Gladstone Avenue\, Victoria\, British Columbia\, V8T 2Y5\, Canada \n  \nCategory: Arts | Performing Arts | Theatre \nPrice:\nAssigned Seating: CAD 60.00

SUMMARY:Orpheus & Eurydice
DESCRIPTION:Based on the famous Greek myth of the musician Orpheus who conquers the spirits of hell using the power of music to bring his love back from the underworld. This production will take Victoria opera lovers into the world of French baroque music and dance. Partnering with Ballet Victoria\, and welcoming back celebrated soprano Suzanne Rigden\, this production not only brings to the Royal Stage a new genre of opera to experience\, it also will see world renowned Ukrainian-Canadian soprano Andriana Chuchman making her debut with Pacific Opera Victoria as Eurydice. \n\nDescend into the underworld of love\, loss\, and longing with Gluck’s Orpheus & Eurydice—a timeless retelling of one of mythology’s most haunting romances. With music that is both ethereal and emotionally charged\, this opera reimagines the ancient tale of Orpheus\, the gifted musician whose songs could move the heavens\, as he dares to defy death itself for the woman he loves. \nWhen Eurydice is torn from life\, Orpheus is granted a single chance to retrieve her—on one heartbreaking condition: he must not look back. Gluck’s revolutionary score strips opera to its emotional core\, trading excess for elegance and clarity. From the aching simplicity of “Che farò senza Euridice?” to the transcendent “Dance of the Blessed Spirits\,” the music pulses with purity and pathos\, creating a world where grief becomes beauty and music becomes salvation. \nOrpheus and Eurydice is a meditation on the power of art\, the fragility of trust\, and the eternal human struggle between hope and despair. It invites audiences into a dreamlike landscape where love can triumph over death—but only at a cost. Poetic\, poignant\, and profoundly moving\, this opera lingers like a half-remembered dream\, echoing long after the final note.

SUMMARY:Good Relations
DESCRIPTION:Good Relations with Adam Olsen is a public dialogue responding to the growing strain in Crown–Indigenous relations in British Columbia and the rise of anti-Indigenous rhetoric online. At a time when trust is eroding and legal obligations are too often ignored or misrepresented\, this event creates space for thoughtful\, informed\, and respectful conversation. \nHosted by Adam Olsen\, Good Relations brings together authors\, academics\, and activists to explore good relations grounded in law\, lived experience\, and moral responsibility. Through honest dialogue and critical inquiry\, audiences are invited to move beyond slogans and conflict toward understanding\, accountability\, and the hard work of relationship-building. \nAt this April 26th event\, Adam Olsen welcomes George Abbott\, author and BC Treaty Commissioner\, for a conversation about his bestselling book\, Unceded: Understanding British Columbia’s Colonial Past and Why It Matters Now. Drawing on archival research and his firsthand experience inside government\, Abbott traces more than 150 years of Crown–Indigenous relations in British Columbia\, from the province’s refusal to negotiate treaties to the legal and political consequences that shape today’s reconciliation landscape. In dialogue with Adam Olsen\, this event explores Crown-Indigenous relations\, why historical clarity matters now\, and how law\, policy\, and relationships must evolve if British Columbia is to move toward justice\, accountability\, and durable good relations.

SUMMARY:Orpheus & Eurydice
DESCRIPTION:Based on the famous Greek myth of the musician Orpheus who conquers the spirits of hell using the power of music to bring his love back from the underworld. This production will take Victoria opera lovers into the world of French baroque music and dance. Partnering with Ballet Victoria\, and welcoming back celebrated soprano Suzanne Rigden\, this production not only brings to the Royal Stage a new genre of opera to experience\, it also will see world renowned Ukrainian-Canadian soprano Andriana Chuchman making her debut with Pacific Opera Victoria as Eurydice. \n\nDescend into the underworld of love\, loss\, and longing with Gluck’s Orpheus & Eurydice—a timeless retelling of one of mythology’s most haunting romances. With music that is both ethereal and emotionally charged\, this opera reimagines the ancient tale of Orpheus\, the gifted musician whose songs could move the heavens\, as he dares to defy death itself for the woman he loves. \nWhen Eurydice is torn from life\, Orpheus is granted a single chance to retrieve her—on one heartbreaking condition: he must not look back. Gluck’s revolutionary score strips opera to its emotional core\, trading excess for elegance and clarity. From the aching simplicity of “Che farò senza Euridice?” to the transcendent “Dance of the Blessed Spirits\,” the music pulses with purity and pathos\, creating a world where grief becomes beauty and music becomes salvation. \nOrpheus and Eurydice is a meditation on the power of art\, the fragility of trust\, and the eternal human struggle between hope and despair. It invites audiences into a dreamlike landscape where love can triumph over death—but only at a cost. Poetic\, poignant\, and profoundly moving\, this opera lingers like a half-remembered dream\, echoing long after the final note.

SUMMARY:Love to Sing!!!!!! The Victoria Arion Male Choir Invitation to January 2026 Open Houses
DESCRIPTION:The Victoria Arion Male Choir: Tradition and Community \nAbout the Choir\nThe Victoria Arion Male Choir represents one of the newest additions to the vibrant choral scene in Victoria\, BC. Formed in the summer of 2018\, the choir is the result of the union between two long-standing ensembles: the Arion Male Voice Choir\, established in 1892\, and the Victoria Male Voice Choir\, founded in 1907. Both groups recognized the opportunity to better pursue their vision of creating “a community of men singing for health and joy” by coming together as one. This merger has proven to be a dynamic and successful venture\, yielding positive results both musically and organizationally. \nOur Mission\nThe choir is dedicated to sustaining the rich tradition of male-voice choral music.

SUMMARY:Orpheus & Eurydice
DESCRIPTION:Based on the famous Greek myth of the musician Orpheus who conquers the spirits of hell using the power of music to bring his love back from the underworld. This production will take Victoria opera lovers into the world of French baroque music and dance. Partnering with Ballet Victoria\, and welcoming back celebrated soprano Suzanne Rigden\, this production not only brings to the Royal Stage a new genre of opera to experience\, it also will see world renowned Ukrainian-Canadian soprano Andriana Chuchman making her debut with Pacific Opera Victoria as Eurydice. \n\nDescend into the underworld of love\, loss\, and longing with Gluck’s Orpheus & Eurydice—a timeless retelling of one of mythology’s most haunting romances. With music that is both ethereal and emotionally charged\, this opera reimagines the ancient tale of Orpheus\, the gifted musician whose songs could move the heavens\, as he dares to defy death itself for the woman he loves. \nWhen Eurydice is torn from life\, Orpheus is granted a single chance to retrieve her—on one heartbreaking condition: he must not look back. Gluck’s revolutionary score strips opera to its emotional core\, trading excess for elegance and clarity. From the aching simplicity of “Che farò senza Euridice?” to the transcendent “Dance of the Blessed Spirits\,” the music pulses with purity and pathos\, creating a world where grief becomes beauty and music becomes salvation. \nOrpheus and Eurydice is a meditation on the power of art\, the fragility of trust\, and the eternal human struggle between hope and despair. It invites audiences into a dreamlike landscape where love can triumph over death—but only at a cost. Poetic\, poignant\, and profoundly moving\, this opera lingers like a half-remembered dream\, echoing long after the final note.
