Hallowe’en is coming early to Burnaby Lyric Opera and we are proud 
to present soprano Emma Jang, mezzo-soprano Taryn Plater, and baritone Matthew Kim, together with pianist Richard Epp in the season opening of our Sunday Afternoon Concert Series. Step into the unknown with this collection of haunted vignettes. Through music and narration, we will journey from once-grand cities to the depths of the sea, sharing tales of madness, magic, and the supernatural.

Opera on a Sunday Afternoon

Shadbolt Centre For The Arts

What’s a fellow to do? Your lecherous boss, the Count, has his eye on your fiancée, Susanna, the Countess’ maid; and the Countess and Susanna are scheming to outsmart the Count and bring him to his knees. To everyone running around in disguise, hiding in bushes, closets and behind curtains, add a young lad who falls in love at a moment’s notice, a madcap array of unknown family members, aristocrats, gardeners, teachers and villagers - and we have one of the most outrageous scenarios ever written for opera. From the opening notes, Mozart’s masterpiece is filled with lively characters meeting life’s unexpected twists and challenges with humour, grace and poignancy, all the while singing some of the most glorious music ever written. Stage Director Richard Berg and Music Director Richard Epp will work their magic on “Le Nozze di Figaro” (The Marriage of Figaro) together with the best of B.C.’s young professional opera singers and Burnaby Lyric Opera’s production team.
