Northern Debut Nord kicks off its inaugural concert series with a powerhouse quartet featuring some of Canada’s finest emerging and established vocal artists. And what better way to celebrate Valentine’s Weekend than with Johannes Brahms’ beloved Liebeslieder Waltzes?
But there is a darker side to love. Lust, obsession, mistrust and murder. We delve into the operatic repertoire from Verdi’s Rigoletto to Bizet’s Carmen to explore the dangerous power of love and attraction.
