Sound of Eternity:
Bach Mass in B Minor

Bach’s majestic Mass in B Minor meets German filmmaker Bastian Clevé’s dramatic film The Sound of Eternity, a lush visual interpretation of Bach’s masterpiece. Mirroring the grand emotional span of the Mass, Clevé’s 27 short episodes move from alpine mountains to glaciers to peaceful valleys and pulsating metropolitan cities. A Canadian premiere, this breathtaking choral and cinematic tour-de-force offers a powerful meditation on the circle of life.

Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made on:
The Lyrical Shakespeare

Revel in the genius of Shakespeare’s comedies, tragedies and sonnets through words, music and song featuring Stratford Festival star Geraint Wyn Davies. Orpheus’ season finale spotlights the choral-drama No Mortal Business, a stirring and visionary creation by Canadian composer Allan Bevan, inspired by The Tempest and performed on the 400th anniversary of the death of the Bard.

A theatrical evening of dark mysticism, spritely illusion and lyrical beauty.
