We serve the whole of Vancouver Island, but nowhere are there more exciting concerts than Victoria. If you’re in the province’s capital this April, be sure to check out some of these great events.
POV’s Madama Butterfly – April 9th-19th
This delightful opera is about a young geisha in Japan. When she falls in love with an American, she renounces her family—however, he must leave her and their child behind as he returns to America. Madama Butterfly is about this young woman’s wait, and we see her guided through this test of fidelity and honour with her hope and love. Written by Giacomo Puccini, Madama Butterfly was one of his favourite characters, and the opera itself has managed to hold up over time. Tickets start at $25.
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto – April 28th
If you’re looking for some classical sounds this April, you won’t want to miss the Victoria Symphony’s Mendelssohn Violin Concerto. Peformed by the Finnish sensation Elina Vahala, this concerto was one of the highest-regarded pieces of the romantic era of music. You’ll also be treated to the world premiere of a piece by Oesterle, as well as two Sibelius symphonies, No. 4 and No. 7. This night will be a great mix of new talent and new music, as well as time-tested classics. Tickets start at $30.
Def Leppard
For those with… “heavier” tastes, this is definitely the event to see. Rock and roll band Def Leppard is taking the stage yet again, continuing a legacy of spectacular stadium shows and powerful rock anthems. Playing classics such as Pour Some Sugar on Me, Love Bites, and Rock of Ages, this band is ready to prove yet again why they sell out arena after arena around the world. Tickets start at $49.50. VIP packages are available!
Whether a stadium or royal theatre, a rock anthem or a classic opera, Victoria’s concert scene is thriving and diverse. And when you’re in town for your next concert, or anywhere on the island, be sure to stay in one of our many locations. Book a room today. We look forward to your visit!
