ALL IS LOVE is a brand new thematically based program celebrating love in all its splendour through the juxtaposition of music of the French Baroque with French 19th and 20th Century repertoire. Opera Atelier invites you to experience a world where Amour - Love itself - propels the action and emotions, for better or for worse, of all of the protagonists.

Starring tenor Colin Ainsworth, soprano Measha Brueggergosman-Lee, Tenor Jesse Blumberg, soprano Meghan Lindsay, mezzo-soprano Danielle MacMillan, soprano Cynthia Smithers, soprano Karine White, and bass-baritone Douglas Williams.
