Our festival centrepiece this year is “Orlando”, Handel’s stunning drama of love and war, madness and magic. Early Music Vancouver presents a thrilling opera-in-concert performance featuring Vancouver’s own Pacific Baroque Orchestra and an all-star cast of early music singers. Premiered in 1733, “Orlando” was composed at the height of Handel's operatic powers, and this production is the perfect complement to his genius. Musically remarkable, emotionally gripping, and performed with consummate skill: it’s the summer music event you won’t want to miss.
