A roving musical adventure like you’ve never seen.

Inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Music on Main’s The Tempest Project is a music-filled journey through a theatre enveloped in sound and light. Explore themes of revenge and forgiveness, love, magic, freedom, and betrayal as you plunge into this musically audacious production, which stands as a poetic response to universal challenges.

Led through the Vancouver Playhouse, audiences embark on a roving musical adventure, witnessing performances in unexpected places. Musicians weave intricate melodies into a rich musical fabric filled with mystery and beauty. As new spaces and sounds are discovered, new depths of meaning unfold.

The Tempest Project brings together leading musicians, composers, designers, and theatre-makers under the direction of David Pay. Promising to be an unforgettable experience, The Tempest Project is this summer’s must-see theatrical music event. There is a limited number of tickets available for each performance.
