Beatrice and Benedict by Berlioz, From (2023/2023), Directed by Robert Herriot, Conductor Mark Morash, Mamdani Opera Centre, Calgary, Canada

Both committed to the single life, Béatrice and Bénédict have individually rebuffed the idea of love, most of all with each other. All bets are off when their friends plot to trick them into falling for one another. This playful and comedic battle of wits is inspired by Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing and showcases the talents of Calgary Opera’s McPhee Artists.
