Welcome to our 35th Anniversary Season! Our original intent was to showcase some of Opera Atelier's most iconic works to celebrate our 35 years as a company, but to quote Robert Burns: “the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” And yet, with new challenges come new opportunities.
We are therefore thrilled to present two new productions for our re-imagined 2020-21 Season of Vision & Dreams. It is vital to us that we provide our dedicated friends and supporters with two beautiful productions, just as we continue to prioritize the safety of our audiences and our artists in these changing times.
Opera Atelier’s new 2020-21 season will feature two fully-staged livestreamed productions at Toronto’s Koerner Hall, TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning. The season begins with Something Rich and Strange – a fully-staged and costumed production which will be livestreamed from Koerner Hall, TELUS Centre on October 28, 2020.
For our season’s second offering, we are thrilled to bring you Handel’s The Resurrection as our spring 2021 production. Though we had to cancel this new production last spring, we are delighted to finally be able to share it with you. The Resurrection will be livestreamed from Koerner Hall, TELUS Centre on April 1, 2021.
We remain committed to providing you with the finest quality of music, theatre and dancing, while ensuring our artists have meaningful employment and the opportunity to grow and develop.
Please help us present this exciting season of new work as we strive to return beauty and joy to the world. No matter how large or small, every donation counts. Please consider donating today.
