SUMMARY:The Met Opera: CARMEN
DESCRIPTION:Senior $22 \n\nNOTE this screening of Carmen is rescheduled from March 12 to June 11 at a discounted rate due to the technical issue experienced in March. We thank all our Met Opera patrons for their patience and understanding and would like to offer this screening at a discounted rate. \nSpend your Tuesday mornings enjoying award-winning performances from the Metropolitan Opera\, broadcast in HD from New York City. \nA vital new production of one of opera’s most enduringly powerful works! Acclaimed English director Carrie Cracknell makes her Met debut\, reinvigorating the classic story with a staging that moves the action to the modern day and finds at the heart of the drama issues that could not be more relevant today: gendered violence\, abusive labor structures\, and the desire to break through societal boundaries. Dazzling young mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina leads a powerhouse quartet of stars in the complex and volatile title role\, alongside tenor Piotr Beczała as Carmen’s troubled lover Don José\, soprano Angel Blue as the loyal Micaëla\, and bass-baritone Kyle Ketelsen as the swaggering Escamillo. Daniele Rustioni conducts Bizet’s heart-pounding score.

SUMMARY:Reel Alternatives: The Great Escaper
DESCRIPTION:The Cowichan Hospice Society presents \nSubscribe to all 5 shows for $70! Single tickets on sale February 1\, 2024. \n\nIn the summer of 2014 — the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings — octogenarian Bernie Jordan (Michael Caine) made global headlines. He’d staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy\, commemorating their fallen comrades. It was a story that captured the imagination of the world — Bernie seemed to embody the defiant\, “can-do” spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing. But of course\, it wasn’t the whole story. It was the story we all tell ourselves to make war and old age bearable. The bitter-sweet script explores the reality with wit and a very big heart. Bernie’s adventure\, spanning a mere 48 hours\, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Irene (Glenda Jackson) — the story celebrates their love without sentimentality and with an eye to the lessons we can all learn from the Greatest Generation. \nDrama | Comedy \n\n\n\nReel Alternatives is a monthly fundraiser bringing Toronto Film Festival’s critically acclaimed films to the Cowichan Valley. This year’s circuit will feature five acclaimed films. All proceeds go directly to benefiting individuals and families in Cowichan through Cowichan Hospice by ensuring hospice services are available when they need them. \nNote that the concession will be open with snacks and drinks\, along with coffee and tea\, available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Murray McLauchlan...Hourglass
DESCRIPTION:Shantero Productions presents \n\nGeneral sales begin on Friday\, December 8 at 10am PST. \nMurray McLauchlan is one of Canada’s most highly regarded singer/songwriters\, and with good cause. Over a 50-year career\, he has released 20 albums and been awarded 11 JUNOs. His songs “Farmer’s Song”\, “Down by the Henry Moore”\, “Whispering Rain” and “Sweeping the Spotlight Away” are now considered Canadian standards. Murray is also a painter\, an author\, an actor\, a radio host; he’s been bestowed an Honorary Doctor of Laws and appointed to The Order of Canada. That’s quite a ride. For many years Murray’s touring had been restricted to Lunch At Allen’s\, whose members also include Ian Thomas\, Marc Jordan and Cindy Church. But with the release of his critically acclaimed Hourglass\, he’s back on the road treating concert goers to a seamless blend of old and new. \nHere’s what he has to say: “As a songwriter I know that it’s not enough to sit in your kitchen and write. Your songs need to be heard. Music is a communicative art and if it isn’t brought in front of people there is no way to tell if that end has been met. I like to think of a concert tour as a kind of roving gallery to test your art and your ideas. I try to do my very best to make it worthwhile for folks to be there and to perhaps look at things in a new way when they leave.” \nAnd this\, in a nutshell\, is the Murray McLauchlan concert experience. \n“It might have been a large theatre but it felt like a group of friends sitting in a living room listening to tales from the son who hit the road to share his music… special\, memorable\, warm and\, quite simply\, Murray McLauchlan at his best.”   – Kamloops This Week

SUMMARY:HOTEL CALIFORNIA: The Original Eagles Tribute - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Cowichan Performing Arts Centre and Gee Dan Productions presents \n\nThis performance is sold out. Please call the box office to join the waitlist at 250-746-2722.  \nWhen The Eagles stopped to catch their breath a few decades ago\, having sold over 100 million records\, collected six Grammy’s\, and enjoyed six #1 albums\, Hotel California began a pioneering journey through their history-making  music that has taken them around the globe and thrilled hundreds of thousands of Eagles fans. It’s been a journey they could never have imagined back in 1986\, but their dedication\, unique musical gifts\, and an obsessive commitment to doing this legendary music true justice in performance\, set them apart from the many Eagles bands that came after them. Hotel California toured relentlessly from the 80’s straight through to today\, setting the standard for world-class tribute productions as they went\, and sharing stages with the likes of The Doobie Bros.\, Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Gretchen Wilson\, REO Speedwagon\, and many more. \nFeaturing original members within their strongest lineup to date\, the band is enjoying what they do today more than ever – and it sure sounds like it! It won’t take you long to hear why legions of Eagles fans come back to see them time after time\, and the top venues & festivals have them back again and again. The easy-going warmth that comes from the band onstage exemplifies the Southern California sound of the 1970’s. The experience of a Hotel California show isn’t just about the band – it’s about celebrating the music and the memories\, and the band gets the audiences involved and on their feet! \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:The Legacy of Lightfoot: Gordon Lightfoot Tribute
DESCRIPTION:Cascadia Concerts presents \nChild $25 \n\nGeneral sales begin on Thursday\, November 30 at 10am PST. \n  \nThe Legacy of Lightfoot was born out of an enduring respect and reverence for the iconic music of Gordon Lightfoot. Take a journey through one of the deepest and most prolific catalogues of songs ever written. Not only was Gordon Lightfoot one of the most skilled songwriters of his generation\, but he had the voice and charisma to match. The musicians who have come together to celebrate The Legacy of Lightfoot combine their decades of experience as performers and songwriters to give a meaningful and engaging performance of his enduring catalogue of music. From his days playing the coffee houses in the 1960’s to the mega hits of the 70’s and all the way up to the beautiful music written in his later years\, The Legacy of Lightfoot shines a light on the entirety of Gordon’s masterful career. \nOliver Swain & Dylan Stone are two of British Columbia’s greatly accomplished and experienced songwriters & performers. Following the graceful passing of Gordon Lightfoot in May 2023 musicians Swain & Stone surrounded themselves with a talented cast of supporting musicians and collaborated to organize a concert to celebrate Gordon’s life and music. They found an over whelming response to their show and formed The Legacy Of Lightfoot. Together they share numerous accolades including award wins and nominations at the Juno’s\, Western Canadian Music Awards and Canadian Folk Music Awards. What started as a humble celebration of Lightfoot’s music has now been elevated to a theatre production that is connecting to large audiences and giving the spirit and legacy of Lightfoot’s music a new life & longevity. \nPhoto by O.
