Four Tri-City musicians are in Vancouver Opera’s season opener this month.
Coquitlam’s Barb Towell (mezzo-soprano) and Reg Quiring (viola) as well as Port Moody residents Tom Shorthouse (trumpet) and Susan Round (cello) will perform in Giacomo Puccini’s Turandot, a show based on Persian legend and set in ancient Beijing.
Argentine tenor Marcelo Puente, making his company debut as Calaf, will sing Nessun Dorma. The show, which is performed in Italian with English SurTitles projected above the stage, runs Oct. 13, 15, 19 and 21 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre (650 Hamilton St., Vancouver).
