About this Event
Crescendo Operatic Society and United Churches of Langley proudly present A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens on Saturday, December 14 at 3:00 pm.
A Christmas Carol will be presented in lightly staged concert form with narration, acting, costumes, singing and dancing. A selection of favourite traditional Christmas carols will be sung throughout.
The beloved novella by Charles Dickens, first published in 1843, tells a heartwarming story of the personal transformation of the main character, Ebenezer Scrooge. From 1849 until the year of his death, Dickens performed public readings of the story, which were so successful that they became a beloved Christmas-time tradition widespread in the English-speaking world.
The tale begins on Christmas Eve when miserly Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. They take him on a transformative journey of self-reflection through Christmases past, present and future. He revisits fragments of his life and is faced with a number of choices. Scrooge discovers the true meaning of Christmas and has a chance of redemption – but is he capable of changing his ways before it’s too late?
The Crescendo’s performance captures all the warmth, goodwill, and musical memories of the holiday season. The spirited ensemble of actors and singers from all over Lower Mainland is led by Dolores Scott, Artistic Director/Producer, and Natan Bàdue, conductor.
This performance is suitable for all ages. Runs 120 minutes with an intermission.
