"Community is a sign that love is possible in a materialistic world where people so often either ignore or fight each other. It is a sign that we don't need a lot of money to be happy--in fact, the opposite."

Jean Vanier

Opera House Performances


 
Thursday March 31 at 7:00
DADA
Leopold Minute, a clockmaker by profession, has been repairing, adjusting and reconditioning watches, clocks and alarm clocks for his customers for several years.  He is shy, detailed and meticulous man who becomes lost in a daydream.  He is then suddenly filled with a sweet insanity that he expresses through dance, juggling and acrobatics.

Sunday March 6 at 7:30
Matt Andersen
A powerhouse performer, Matt Andersen's "fingers sail over his acoustic guitar strings with the speed and grace of a hummingbird," he has a giant yet soul-filled and passionate voice, and a commanding stage presence. In a word, Andersen is awesome! With over 5 million views on YouTube, independent album sales topping 30,000, a European Blues Award, Maple Blues Awards and Best Solo Performer at the Memphis Blues Challenge, Andersen's worldwide fan base shows no signs of slowing down.
Since the release of Weightless in early 2014, Andersen has received a Juno nomination for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year, A CIMA Road Gold award, and a Maple Blues Award for male Vocalist of the Year. His ninth full-length album is set for release in early 2016.
Fans can continue to depend on Andersen delivering the electrifying, jaw-dropping shows which have traditionally given rise to spontaneous mid-set standing ovations.
The London Times says, "Canada's greatest guitarist made one acoustic guitar sound like a fully staffed band. Outrageous skill and contagious joy!" But, perhaps his shows are best summed up by a reviewer for exclaim.ca who writes: "It's rare to see someone so accomplished make something look like it could be so effortless, but between his voice, his guitar work and his song writing talents, Andersen pulls it off,"...and that sums up a Matt Andersen concert perfectly!

Saturday April 2 at 8:00
Abbamania & Night Fever/The Bee Gees Show
The world's number one production of Abba and The Bee Gees. Sold out Roy Thomson Hall 3 times.  The only Abba production to perform twice for Mamma Mia.  Authentic vocals, look and sound.  The cast of studio musicians with violins and horn section, perform each song note for note, exactly like the record.  Both acts have performed at the Opera House 3 times before.  Hear all the hits of Abba and The Bee Gees: Waterloo, S.O.S, Dancing Queen, Jive Talking, Too Love Somebody, Stayin' Alive plus many more. 
Two great shows on one stage.

April 7 - 9 at 7:30, April 14 - 16 at 7:30, April 10 & 17 at 2:00
Event: The Night Alive 
Description: ***This play contains foul language that may be offensive to some people***
                Play will run for 90 minutes with no intermission
                Tommy is a middle aged man just getting by.  He's renting a run-down room in his uncle Maurice's house and rolling from one get-rich-quick scheme to the next with his pal Doc.  Fate intervenes as one day he comes to the aid of Aimee, a woman with her own set of troubled circumstances.  The past won't easily let go but together these characters discover a glimmer of renewed hope. A tiny bit of something extraordinary.
