Vancouver Symphony Orchestra presents Summer Nights: Mozart & Berlioz on June 9 at 7 pm at the Orpheum Theatre, as part of their Musically Speaking concert series.

Led by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s music director Otto Tausk, the concert will feature the voices of mezzo-soprano Rihab Chaieb, soprano Melody Courage, and baritone Tyler Duncan, alongside harpsichordist Alexander Weimann.

The performance is a celebration of summer, just in time for sunshine season in Vancouver. Audiences will experience one of Berlioz’s most popular works, Les nuits d'été, which is an exploration of love’s evolution over a series of summer nights.

Mozart is rumoured to have loved a good party, and The Marriage of Figaro, Act 4, is perhaps one of the best he threw. The final act of the famed opera will be performed in concert by internationally acclaimed soloists and members of the UBC Opera Ensemble.

The VSO will also perform Lithuanian composer Raminta Šerkšnytė’s Midsummer Song.

Tickets to the show and more information can be found at Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.
