SUMMARY:Bicycle Opera Project | The Llandovery Castle
DESCRIPTION:The loss of 14 Nursing Sisters who drowned when their hospital ship the Llandovery Castle was torpedoed while crossing the Atlantic is a forgotten story of the Great War. \nComposer Stephanie Martin and librettist Paul Ciufo have created a new Canadian opera as an act of remembrance to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Llandovery Castle in June 1918. \nThe calm confidence\, skill and selflessness of Canadian nurses during the First World War stand in stark contrast to the chaos and violence that surrounded them. From the horrors inflicted by inhuman trench warfare\, the Sisters offered healing and compassion to soldiers on both sides of the conflict. \nMatron Pearl Fraser\, her colleagues Rena ‘Bird’ McLean and ‘Kate’ Gallaher\, German U boat Oberleutnant Helmut Patzig\, and two Canadian servicemen who survived the sinking are brought to life by the singers of The Bicycle Opera Project\, and Director Tom Diamond. \nThe issues explored in the opera are highly relevant in today’s world. \n“As medical humanitarians working in contemporary conflict settings\, the story of the Llandlovery Castle strongly resonates with our cause. It was then (in 1918)\, as it is now\, outrageous and profoundly wrong that men and women healing the war-wounded should themselves be shot at. ”\n— JOE BELLIVEAU\, CANADA’S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR\, DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS/MÉDECINS SANS FRONTIÈRES \nDATES\nJune 26 & June 27\, 2018\n8:00p.m.\nPre-concert chat at 7:00p.m. \nVENUE\nCalvin Presbyterian Church\n26 Delisle Avenue\nToronto\, Ontario \nTICKETS\nGeneral Admission: $40\nGeneral Admission\, Under 30: $20\nGeneral Admission at the Door: $45
