-
"Joyce El‑Khoury was an incandescent Elisabetta. El‑Khoury has ample vocal means and abundant musicianship to excel in this lirico spinto role. Her final act aria, “Tu che le vanità,” was the vocal highpoint of the evening."– Concertonet.com

“A tale of art, politics, and dangerous romance set in early 19th-century Rome, Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca has left audiences swooning since its premiere 125 years ago. At the center of the opera is Floria Tosca—the prima donna of Rome, who risks her own life to save her rebellious lover Mario Cavaradossi from persecution by the corrupt chief of police, Baron Scarpia. Will she pledge her love to Scarpia to save Cavaradossi from the firing squad, or will she do whatever it takes to save both of their lives?
Experience an evening of intense drama and heartbreaking melodies when Tosca takes over Southam Hall in a semi-staged production led by conductor Alexander Shelley and director Joel Ivany. Soprano Joyce El-Khoury—who “elegantly embodies the title role of Tosca” (Opera News)—leads an all-Canadian cast of singers featuring tenor Matthew Cairns as Cavaradossi, bass-baritone Nathan Berg as Scarpia, and members of Edmonton Opera’s Emerging Artist Program.”

Joyce returns Barcelona for concert performances of Berlioz’s La mort de Cléopâtre and Beethoven’s 9th symphony. Information from the presenter is below and tickets can be purchased here.
“A season opening with what is possibly the greatest milestone ever reached by an author: Beethoven’s Symphony No 9stands out for its incredibly original proposal, which could even be classed as ground-breaking in its original context, with a romantic character that calls upon human beings of all times, united fraternally in the same yearning to celebrate. A specific, immanent feeling of belonging, yet which -as the Orfeó Català will sing in the closing movement, guided by the divine spark that is Schiller’s ode to joy (Freude)- elevates all humans and makes them equal, and transcends their respective singularities.
Ludovic Morlot, chief conductor of the OBC, will head a quartet of soloists formed by Joyce El-Khoury, soprano; Silvia Tro Santafé, mezzo-soprano; Elgan Llyr Thomas, tenor, and Davone Tines, bass. The Lebanese-Canadian soprano is also to take part in the performance of the lyric scene La mort de Cléopâtre, in a concert that will begin with the overture in three tempos (symphony) from the opera Sesostri, re d’Egitto, a work by Domènec Terradellas. Completed in 1751, it was successfully performed for the first time in Rome and, three years later, in Barcelona, his home city. It was the first opera by a Catalan composer to be programmed in Catalonia.”
