Artemisia: Light & Shadow ARTEK (USA)

Schedule

Fri Apr 17 2026 at 06:00 pm to 09:30 pm

Location

Victoria Italian Assistance Centre / da Vinci Centre | Victoria, BC

Two nights: Friday, April 17, 2026 and Saturday, April 18, 2026
With the success of our opera and dinner production last September, we will once again be presenting a staged production with dinner at the Leonardo da Vinci Centre.
ARTEK presents an account, in drama and music, of the life of 17th-century painter and feminist heroine Artemisia Gentileschi.
A life more dramatic than an Italian opera: trained in art by her father, a survivor of assault and a sensational trial to become an internationally renowned painter, and the secret lover of a Florentine nobleman.
Sarah Chalfy as Artemisia Gentileschi
Harpsichord: Gwendolyn Toth
Nahma Sandrow, Playwright
Paul Peers, Stage Director & Set Design
Carol Sherry, Costumes
Gwendolyn Toth, Music Director
