The Prince George Symphony Orchestra (PGSO) and the Prince George Cantata Singers are joining forces with the Lakes District Community Choir and the Southside Chambermaids to stage a major musical event.
'O' is for Opera is the PGSO's final concert of the season and the highlight of this year's Chorfest celebration.
Choristers from 亚洲天堂 Lake and the rest of the province will attend the three day choral conference, culminating in a mass choir performance of some of the most popular and beloved opera music.
Chorfest is an annual provincial choral conference returning to Prince George for the first time since 1985.
This year's opera theme will give audience members the rare treat of hearing great opera choruses sung by a 180 voice choir with full orchestral accompaniment. The concert will be memorable for other reasons.
"On top of the magnificent choral pieces that we're having, we are happy to present soprano Sarah Kirsch as a featured soloist," said Ruth Langner, general manager of the PGSO.
The orchestra produces a full season of main stage concerts as well as children's concerts, outreach concerts, a variety of educational activities, chamber music and recitals.
'O' is for Opera is on May 22, 2011 at 3 p.m. at the Prince George Civic Centre. Tickets available at Studio 2880 or at the door.
