Never before seen at the COC and seldom performed anywhere in the world, Cherubini’s Medea finally arrives at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in a striking new production helmed by renowned Scottish director Sir David McVicar. Based on the ancient Greek myth, the sorceress Medea helps Giasone, leader of the famous Argonauts, steal the Golden Fleece — only to be abandoned by him, setting her down a path of chilling, violent vengeance against all those who have wronged her. The star-studded cast features renowned soprano Sondra Radvanovsky, one of the select few singers ever to tackle the famously challenging title role, sharing the title role with Chiara Isotton as well as some of America’s finest operatic artists: tenor Matthew Polenzani as Giasone, and soprano Janai Brugger as Glauce.
