Neue Kritikenmehr...
Canadian Opera’s Così fan tutte revival doesn’t disappoint
The COC’s revival of Cosi fan tutte is still a visual feast and a few deft updates and some terrific singing make it well worth seeing, even for the third time!
A solid Traviata revival at Canadian Opera Company
The COC’s revival of Verdi’s La traviata features fine singing, especially from Kathryn Lewek’s Violetta, but has perhaps lost a little of the edge of previous runs.
Werther oozes quiet despair in new Canadian Opera Company staging
Excellent performances cannot turn a conventional production of Massenet’s Werther into a dramatic experience for the 21st century.
Lepage’s Bluebeard and Erwartung pairing remains compelling theatre
Some 30 years after its first appearance, Robert Lepage’s double bill of Duke Bluebeards Castle and Erwartung is still strikingly effective and very modern-looking music theatre.
Canadian Opera Company’s Barber proves as fresh as ever
The Barber is back in Toronto with an excellent cast, young and old, and it’s as lively, colourful and energetic as ever.
Christopher Alden’s Rigoletto returns to Canadian Opera Company
Christopher Alden’s Victorian-era Rigoletto still divides opinions, despite top-notch performances all around in this Toronto revival.
Canadian Opera's Orfeo returns elegant, restrained and very satisfying
The restrained beauty of Robert Carsen’s production of Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice is matched by musical elegance in its revival current revival at the Four Seasons Centre.
Canadian Opera Company opens season with Roméo et Juliette
Amy Lane’s production of Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette at the COC is eye-catching and enjoyable but doesn’t offer the same level of insight as her Faust last season.
