Win tickets to Vancouver Bach Choir’s multimedia performance of Andrew Downing’s Phantom of the Opera

      Enter to win tickets to Andrew Downing’s Phantom of the Opera, presented by Vancouver Bach Choir at the Orpheum Theatre on February 20.

      This spectacular multimedia work interweaves a screening of Rupert Julian’s dark & haunting 1925 film, The Phantom of the Opera, with live performance by VBC alongside a virtuosic chamber ensemble. Toronto-based composer Andrew Downing’s mesmerizing score returns by popular demand, offering new intensity and nuance to the cult-classic tale of gothic romance, lurking horror, and the unequalled power of music.

      As one of Canada’s most inventive and multifaceted musicians, Andrew Downing is ideally placed to write such an ambitious piece. He is the recipient of two Juno Awards, two West Coast Music Awards and the Grand Prix de Jazz; the works that heralded these awards range from contemporary jazz creations to a chamber ensemble piece based on the life of Andre the Giant.

      “[Rupert Julian’s The Phantom of the Opera] has two elements of genius: It creates beneath the opera one of the most grotesque places in the cinema, and Chaney’s performance transforms an absurd character into a haunting one.” – Roger Ebert, on the 1925 Silent Film.

      Two tickets to Downing’s Phantom of the Opera at the Orpheum Theatre on Saturday February 20 at 8:00 p.m. ($100 value) Non-transferable. Cannot be combined with any other offer.
