MUSIC
The performing arts are well represented in Victoria and on Vancouver Island. Professional and amateur theatre and dance companies, including the acclaimed Pacific Opera Victoria, perform in historical playhouses, modern arts centres and small, quaint community theatres. Music for all tastes fills local concert halls, cathedrals, nightclubs and pubs. The Victoria Symphony entertains audiences all year long and the highlight of its season, and a Victoria tradition, is Symphony Splash: a free concert performed from a barge in the Inner Harbour to over 40,000 people. Music and arts festivals throughout the summer and throughout the Island celebrate jazz, blues, r&b and folk music.
