Created specifically for the preschool crowd, Noisy Theatre brings in its last show of the season with Bach Tots special presentation of Once Upon a Season.
The 20-minute performance of music and dance is a pioneer themed dance show set on a farm following the changing seasons. An array of barnyard animals including a pig, lamb and rooster create a show filled with visual storytelling and whimsical fun.
After the performance children are invited to participate in creative movement and imaginative play with the dancers.
Once Upon a Season runs at the Arden Theatre, 5 St. Anne Street, on Wednesday March 15 with two shows at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 adults, $5 children, and babies under two years are free.
In a nearly sold out show, Juno Award winner Rose Cousins is the featured headliner at the Arden Theatre on St. Patrick’s Day Friday, March 17.
The beloved Haligonian just released her fourth album, Natural Conclusions, an album that speaks of personal heartbreak, betrayal and inner turmoil.
The folk-pop singer-songwriter has dug deep to create a CD that is full of love poems made into piano ballads that journey through wild hurt and blame to forgiveness and grace.
But the dead serious songwriting is accompanied with her trademark funny stage banter.
Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $35 available at 780-459-1542 or through ticketmaster.ca.
The chilling score of Richard Strauss’ psychological thriller Elektra is played out on the Edmonton Opera stage at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium on March 11, 14 and 16.
Based on an ancient Greek myth, the opera is filled with violence and heightened eroticism. Upon King Agamemnon’s return from the Trojan wars, his wife Klytämnestra murders him.
Their daughter Elektra is furious and falls into an obsessive state plotting revenge against her mother. All the while her fragile mind unravels into a horrifying climax.
American soprano Elizabeth Blancke-Biggs straddles the role of this powerful, expressive and mad character.
Tickets are $40 to $175 and are available at edmontonopera.com.
One of Britain’s favourite pop superstars, Ed Sheeran, is coming back to Edmonton on July 25 with a performance at Rogers Place.
Now enjoying a sold-out tour across Europe, Sheeran is also mounting a massive 48-date summer tour of North America.
The down-to-earth celebrity endeared himself to fans last year when he spontaneously joined St. Albert singer Sydney Bourbeau while she was singing at West Edmonton Mall to raise funds for the Edmonton Humane Society.
Bourbeau, a huge fan of Sheeran, had selected his hit Thinking Out Loud, and together they sang a duet to cheering crowds.
Tickets go on sale March 17 at Ticketmaster.
