Cyrano De Bergerac

Step into the world of soaring poetry and heartbreaking passion with Cyrano De Bergerac, Edmond Rostand's immortal masterpiece, brought to vivid life on the storied stage of Edmonton's Citadel Theatre. This sweeping romantic drama follows the brilliant, flamboyant, and deeply self-conscious Cyrano — a warrior-poet of unmatched wit and swordsmanship — as he pours his soul into love letters for another man, all to win the heart of the woman he adores but dares not face. It is a story that has captivated audiences for over a century, and this production promises to deliver every breathtaking moment with all the grandeur it deserves. The Citadel Theatre, one of Canada's most celebrated regional theatres, provides the perfect grand canvas for this epic tale. Known for its world-class productions and intimate audience connection, the Citadel transforms Cyrano's 17th-century Paris into a living, breathing world of duels, declarations, and desperate longing. Audiences can expect stunning period costumes, dynamic choreography, and performances that bring both the comedy and tragedy of this beloved story into sharp, emotional relief. Running through multiple performances in May 2026 — including matinee and evening options on select dates — this is a rare opportunity to experience one of theatre's greatest love stories in a venue worthy of its legacy. Whether you are a lifelong theatre devotee or discovering Cyrano for the first time, this production at the Citadel Theatre is destined to leave you breathless, moved, and utterly enchanted.
