The Llandovery Castle brings to life an important an important but little-known part of Canadian history. It is a beautifully-expressed tribute to Canadian nurses in particular, and healers in general who for millennia have put themselves in harm's way to serve their communities and humankind.

The opera had two workshop performances almost two years ago in Toronto on the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the hospital ship Llandovery Castle. The recording being screened on April 6th is a new, fully-staged performance by the talented students at Wilfrid Laurier University that received rave reviews in February 2020.

On Monday April 6th grab your favourite snacks, find a comfy seat, and get ready to experience this joyous and inspiring music drama.

Running time is 1 hour 20 minutes.



Wishing you well,

The Llandovery Castle Team
