Chamber Opera Tours is thrilled to bring its original musical adaptation to the 2018 Jane Austen Festival of Port Alberni in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the publication of Persuasion. This popular production has toured the UK and North America the past five years and features music from Jane Austens manuscripts and the era, fully staged with chamber orchestra, beautiful Regency costumes, projected scenery, and world-champion Irish dancers!
No Persuasion needed to see this treat for the eyes and ears...astounding! (Isle of Wight County Press)
Perfect synchronicity between the cast and the impressive chamber orchestra...retaining much original dialogue complemented superbly by Austens favourite music and luxurious costumes. (Broadway Baby, Featured in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival
