Remembering Mary’s Wedding
Advertisement
Weaving together text and music from the 2011 opera, composer Andrew Paul MacDonald and librettist Stephen Massicotte reimagine Mary’s Wedding for narrator, two singers, and piano—an intimate reflection on love and remembrance.
Originally developed and premiered in Victoria, this new presentation returns following last year’s performances.
Synopsis
In Remembering Mary’s Wedding, a professor’s lecture on World War I in Canada becomes the gateway into another story. Arriving late and unsettled, he begins his talk, but soon memory and imagination take over. The lecture transforms into a frame for select songs and scenes from Mary’s Wedding, evoking a tender love story shaped by the turmoil of war. Blending history with theatre, the piece offers audiences both a glimpse of the classroom and a moving remembrance on stage.
