King Lear
Choreography: Igor Dobrovolskiy / MUSIC: Dimitri Shostakovich
The monumental story of pride, folly and broken dreams…
Set on the stark and melancholy scores of Dmitri Shostakovich, Igor Dobrovolskiy’s haunting interpretation of Shakespeare’s towering drama examines the perpetual balance between action and repercussion, arrogance and humanity.
Dobrovolskiy collaborates once again with three stellar designers and an icon of Canadian theatre to create an ominous and sinister world, where false realities and vengeful traps yield devastating consequences.

Loreena McKennitt
A trio performance
Celebrating three decades as Canada’s foremost, groundbreaking independent artist, Loreena McKennitt is set to bring a rare and intimate tour to select venues across the U.S. and Canada this fall, including five dates in Atlantic Canada, October 7-11.
Normally performing with her band in large concert halls around the world, this unique series will feature McKennitt in the trio formation, which garnered her a 2012 Grammy nomination for Troubadours on the Rhine.
Joined by longtime collaborators, Brian Hughes and Caroline Lavelle, this atmospheric evening will feature music and tales inspired by McKennitt’s exotic travels in pursuit of the history of the Celts – from the Sufis in Istanbul, to the Berbers in Morocco, to Delphi in Greece, to the Irish mystical poems of Yeats and classical writers such as Shakespeare and Tennyson – all of which have informed her passionate and sometimes mystical musical expression.
McKennitt’s eclectic Celtic blend of pop, folk and world music has sold over 14 million albums worldwide. Her recordings have achieved gold, platinum and multi-platinum status in 15 countries on four continents. She has twice been nominated for a Grammy Award and has won two Junos, as well as a Billboard International Achievement Award.
McKennitt has performed in some of the world’s most-respected and historic concert venues, from Carnegie Hall to the famous Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain and for dignitaries including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and numerous heads of state.
