JULY 8  From guest star on Law & Order to
co-star on Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World
to a singer and songwriter with a couple of
albums under her belt, Sabrina Carpenter
has evolved after only a few years in the
entertainment industry. It’s fitting that her
latest album—for which she is currently
on tour—is titled Evolution. The electropop
collection experiments with mixes of indie,
pop, techno, and jazz, which—paired with
Carpenter’s emotional lyrics and powerful
vocals—will make for a truly memorable
show. Winspear Centre, 4 Sir Winston
Churchill Sq., $28–$203; call 780-428-1414
or visit winspearcentre.com for tickets.
JULY 20 - AUGUST 13  You never know what you’ll discover
when you attend a Cirque du Soleil performance, and this latest
show could top all expectations! Kurios: Cabinet of Curiosities
pulls you into a strange, Steampunk-inspired world where an
ambitious inventor attempts to manipulate the world around
him—including time, space, and dimensions. Only this Cirque
group could literally turn the world upside down! Get ready
to experience a curious new world filled with dazzling effects,
stunning set designs, elaborate costumes, and—as always—an
impressive display of dance, stunts, and acrobatics. Northlands
Coliseum, 7424-118 Ave., $43­–$258; call 1-877-924-7783 or visit

JULY 26 - AUGUST 6  Many are familiar
with the emotional tale of The Phantom of
the Opera: a beautiful young soprano named
Christine becomes the object of obsession
for a mysterious, masked musician who
hides within the confines of the theatre and
goes to great—often dangerous—lengths to
make her the star. With a cast and orchestra
of 52, this production is one of the largest
ones currently on tour and includes Tony
Award-winning original costume designs
and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s famous
score, including “Music of the Night” and
“Masquerade.” Northern Alberta Jubilee
Auditorium, 11455-87 Ave., $35­–$130; call
1-855-985-5000 or visit ticketmaster.ca for
