A play with music, dance and physical comedy, Limelight takes us back to 1929, in the last days of Vaudeville theatre, an era that spanned over fifty years of popular mass entertainment. The Limelight Theatre is closing its doors and the cast and crew face a grim future as the “silver screen” steals away their audience. A charismatic movie producer pays them a visit on their last night, offering them fame and fortune in this new era of entertainment. Is it too good to be true?

Ô-Celli: Fait son Cinema
2024-11-30 19:30 - 21:15 (America/Vancouver) | Charles Bailey Theatre, 1501 Cedar Ave, Trail, British Columbia, V1R 4C7, Canada
The Trail & District Arts Council presents Ô-Celli: Fait son Cinema, a unique 8-piece Belgian cello ensemble with a sonorous cathedral sound, on Saturday, November 30 at 7:30 pm. Part of the Performing Arts Trail series in The Bailey Theatre.
What can sound better than a cello? Eight cellos!
The cello’s sound is the closest to the human voice, and the magnificently creative Ô-Celli capitalize on this in their concerts to move beyond stylistic boundaries. These eight classically trained musicians reinvigorate both classical and popular music to enchant the audience through a repertoire of both original and arranged pieces.
For this show they will be playing: R.Strauss, “Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30”; Verdi, “Ouverture de la Forza del Destino”; Bach, “Toccata et fugue”; – Fauré, “Pavane, Op.50”; Rota, “La Strada”; Bernstein, “West Side Story”; and John Williams.
Ô-Celli’s concerts are invitations to travel, as these passionate cellists, plucked from celeberated orchestras and chamber ensembles, play only for their own and their audience’s pleasure!
Regular Musicians who play with Ô-Celli are Alexandre Beauvoir, Jean-Pierre Borboux, Stephanie Huang, Corinna Lardin, Yoori Lee, Shiho Nishimura, Raphaël Perraud, and Sébastien Walnier
“Ô-Celli is magnificently unique” – N. Bowman, The Daily Courier
“Eight classical cellists (of very high caliber)…fill the entire sound spectrum with infinite nuances…Because it takes talent not to spoil the originals while giving them a second life.” – ​Stéphane Renard, LECHO.BE
“These eight cellists offer concerts that dust off classical music, renew the repertoire and attract a spellbound audience.” – ​Aurélie Koch, JV Magazine no. 74
“…incredible reserves of imagination and an innate sense of pleasure. This is what ô-celli develops with incomparable verve.” – ​Serge Martin, Le Mad/Le Soir
Watch them play “La Strada” by Nino Rota and Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
