Week in Preview: Our critics' picks for your next seven days in culture
PERFORMANCE - Victoria Symphony Splash - It’s the most natural of symphonic/pyrotechnic pairings – fireworks and Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture – but how often do you get to experience them together, live? It happens on Vancouver Island every summer with the Victoria Symphony Splash, billed as the largest annual outdoor symphony event in Canada (up to 40,000 people are expected). For the 25th annual event, Tania Miller conducts the symphony from a floating stage in the Inner Harbour in a program that will include the William Tell Overture, Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, and music from Video Games Live. It wraps at 9:45 p.m. with the traditional 1812 Overture, performed with fireworks, bells and cannons. (Aug. 3; activities start at 1 p.m.; the symphony begins at 7:30 p.m.). – Marsha Lederman
