An Enchanted Evening featuring Measha Brueggergosman rescheduled
New date scheduled for special concert as vocalist recovers from surgery
The Shaw Festival announced today that An Enchanted Evening, a concert featuring soprano Measha Brueggergosman originally scheduled to take place on July 12, 2009, will now take place on August 9, 2009. Canadian jazz sensation Michael Kaeshammer and acclaimed Broadway performer and bass/baritone soloist Marcus Nance both remain on the bill for this one-night only Shaw Festival presentation.
Patrons who have purchased tickets for the original July 12 date will be contacted to exchange their tickets for the new date in August, or they may contact the Box Office directly at 1-800-511-7429. Tickets are priced at $50 and $65 (accessible seating is available).
Measha Brueggergosman, one of Canadas most critically acclaimed vocalists, underwent open-heart surgery on June 10, 2009. She is expected to make a full and complete recovery. Hailed by the New York Times as a singer of "ravishing and smouldering intensity" and noted by the San Francisco Chronicle as a singer of rare gifts and artistic intensity, this Canadian soprano has emerged as one of todays most magnificent performers and vibrant personalities. Her album, Surprise was released in 2007 and garnered a Juno Award for Classical Album of the Year.
An Enchanted Evening will commence at 8:30 p.m. and will be taped for future broadcast on BRAVO!
This special outdoor concert was made possible by the very generous support of the Ontario Ministry of Tourisms Celebrate Ontario 2009 initiative and the Government of Canadas Marquee Tourism Events Program. Special thanks to Parks Canada.
