“The Spectre’s Bride” Shadow Puppet Show
After my new found appreciation of shadow puppets, I am delighted to write about a new show offered by The Victoria Philharmonic Choir (in Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA). It is Dvorak’s The Spectre’s Bride and it brings together the artistic talents of awesome puppeteer Tim Gosley, puppet designs of Michel Gagne (see some samples here) and is led by artistic director Simon Capet. Capet says,
“The music itself is fantastic, and now we have wonderfully fresh English lyrics by Victoria writer Mollie Kaye, who has done a remarkable job – the words are dramatic, humorous, visual, andoften funny. A musician herself, she has created images and phrases that further enhance Dvorak’s evocative score. I think you’ll find the results very immediate and a lot of fun,”
Performances are Tuesday October 30th and Wednesday October 31st at The University of Victoria’s Farquhar Auditorium. Tickets for The Spectre’s Bride are now on sale through the UVIC box office, 250.721.8480. Ticket prices range from $15 to $29.50. For more information visit the Spectre’s Bride website here.
