Per Umbram ad Lucem - uOttawa Voice Sector

From Monteverdi’s lamenting nymph to the transcendent farewell of Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites, the University of Ottawa School of Music Vocal Sector presents Per Umbram ad Lucem, a staged production bringing together seven scenes from opera and musical theatre. Animated by unforgettable characters, powerful emotions, and music of remarkable expressive force, these works take audiences on a journey into the heart of the human condition, tracing a path through its great contrasts: from darkness to light, from doubt to revelation, from vulnerability to resilience, and ultimately, from lament to grace.
