Step into a Sicilian village ablaze with passion, betrayal, and heartbreak in Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana. This powerful opera tells a story of love, jealousy, and revenge, where a young bride, a returning lover, and a scorned villager collide in a tale of intense emotion, unforgettable arias, and dramatic confrontations.

It’s a story that has captivated audiences for over a century with its fiery music and raw, human drama.

Fifty years of music-making culminate in the ultimate symphonic experience: Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, "Resurrection." For our Golden Anniversary finale, the Calgary Civic Symphony assembles a massive force of orchestral musicians, powerhouse choirs, and two of Calgary’s finest singers - soprano Anna Pompeeva and mezzo-soprano Barbara King - to perform one of the most impressive and moving works ever composed.
