HomeThings to DoAmanda Forsythe Sings Handel

“Amanda Forsythe returns to Victoria in this program of arias by Handel originally written for Élisabeth Duparc (‘La Francesina’). We have heard this renowned singer as a soloist in large choral works, but here is a chance to experience her artistry close up.

Forsythe will be accompanied by the Pacific Baroque Orchestra from Vancouver, directed by Alexander Weimann.

In addition to the Handel works, the program will also include the world premiere of Métis composer Pat Carrabré’s “The Mother Tree” based on Suzane Simard’s novel “Finding the mother tree”.

“Forsythe possesses a jaw-dropping facility . . . [and] sang with a shimmering tone and a fine ear to the emotional content of the Handel arias that she presented.”
– Boston Classical Review/ Aaron Keebaugh”

Destination Greater Victoria is honoured to be based on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees Nation and Xwsepsum Nation, whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
