Aleko

Our winter production is an historic event - the Ottawa premiere of Sergei Rachmaninoff's magnificent opera "Aleko". This opera has it all - soaring poignant melodies, powerful drama, harmonies that pull the strings of your heart. Set amongst the Romani of Eastern Europe, it is a tale of passion, treachery, and tragedy. We are joined in this production by Ottawa's Ewashko Singers, dancers, including solo dancer and choreographer Clare Bassett, and orchestra, all under the direction of guest conductor Norman E. Brown. We are also partnering in this production with the St. Cyril and Methodius Russian Orthodox School of Ottawa, and Matryshka Russian School of Ottawa. Other partnerships are in development, as well.
