SUMMARY:Canadian Opera Company | Espiral by OKAN (online)
DESCRIPTION:With a name that means “heart” in the Afro-Cuban religion of Santeria\, the Toronto-based women-led group OKAN crafts songs that explore immigration\, courage\, and love. \nHaving received JUNO\, Canadian Folk Music\, and Independent Music Award nominations for their debut album Sombras\, OKAN’s sophomore offering\, Espiral delves deeper into the group’s rich Cuban roots\, finding renewed inspiration in that musical heritage. \nIn this concert\, OKAN performs selections from Espiral\, their 2021 Juno Award-winning album\, fusing jazz\, folk\, and global rhythms with Afro-Cuban roots. It’s a performance that draws upon a multiplicity of musical influences and the multicultural mosaic of Toronto. \nCast & Creative Team\nOKAN:\nElizabeth Rodriguez\, vocals/violin\nMagdelys Savigne\, vocals/percussion\nJeremy Ledbetter\, piano\nRoberto Mederos\, bass\nFrank Nodarse\, drums

SUMMARY:Canadian Opera Company/Against the Grain | Mozart's Requiem (online)
DESCRIPTION:This multi-disciplinary presentation in collaboration with Against the Grain Theatre invites us to reckon with the impact of COVID-19—and heal together through the power of Mozart’s astonishingly moving Requiem. \nIncorporating interviews with front-line medical workers and community members directly affected by the pandemic\, this interpretation conceived by Joel Ivany and Johannes Debus connects individual stories of loss and resilience to the sonic world of Mozart’s heartbreakingly beautiful piece. The result charts a passage out of the darkest days of an unprecedented global event towards a new hope for a brighter tomorrow. \nFeaturing artists from the COC Ensemble Studio training program\, as well as Kwagiulth and Stó:lo First Nations mezzo-soprano Marion Newman\, this Requiem is a showcase of the next generation of voices in opera. \nCast & Creative Team\nMidori Marsh\, soprano\nMarion Newman\, mezzo-soprano\nAndrew Haji\, tenor\nVartan Gabrielian\, bass \nConductor: Johannes Debus\nDirector: Joel Ivany\nAssociate Director: Andrew Adridge\nProduction Associate: Renee Fajardo\nPrice Family Chorus Master: Sandra Horst  \nWith the Canadian Opera Company Orchestra and Chorus \nHow to watch

SUMMARY:National Ballet of Canada | Mixed Winter Program
DESCRIPTION:Elite Syncopations\nOverview\nSir Kenneth MacMillan created Elite Syncopations for The Royal Ballet in 1974 during his tenure there as Artistic Director. The score features ragtime favourites by Scott Joplin and other composers of the era\, played onstage by musicians participating in the dancehall scene. The choreography is flirtatious with an air of spontaneity and carries the influence of social dances of the 1920s. \nSkyward by Alysa Pires\nOverview\nSkyward is an uplifting new work from Choreographic Associate Alysa Pires\, her first main stage creation for The National Ballet of Canada. A work in four movements\, it incorporates the feelings of hope and anticipation that accompanied Pires’ creative process\, owing to two significant events in her life: her return to the studio after lockdown and the birth of her first child. Featuring the music of award-winning ensemble Eighth Blackbird\, Skyward emphasizes upward movement and a sense of flight inspired by starlings. It’s a piece that holds special meaning for Pires and reflects our collective energy or hope to move forward. \n  \nNew Work by Siphesihle November\nOverview\nThis world premiere marks Principal Dancer Siphesihle November’s choreographic debut for the company’s main stage following the short work he created for the RBC Apprentices as part of YOU dance in the 2020/21 season. Inspired by the energy of the creative process and the music he has chosen\, November explores what it means to find joy in dance and how we translate that joy\, self-awareness and self-exploration of the body and spirit into something the audience can also experience. Another milestone in his rising career\, this new work expresses November’s love for dance and music and the captivating energy he brings to the stage.

SUMMARY:Canadian Opera Company | Fantasma
DESCRIPTION:WORLD PREMIERE\n\nRecommended for young adults (12-18 years old) \nWhile visiting a boisterous\, old-fashioned carnival\, best friends Léa and Ivy stumble upon a dark secret. Their ghostly discovery makes them confront an age-old dilemma: when faced with another person’s suffering\, do you turn away\, or try to help? \nThis new opera\, by former COC Composer-in-Residence Ian Cusson with libretto by acclaimed playwright Colleen Murphy\, explores themes of death\, violence\, compassion and the courage to insist on being heard. \nFormer COC Director/Dramaturg-in-Residence Julie McIsaac joins the creative team as director and dramaturg\, along with a number of current and graduate Ensemble Studio artists cast in leading roles; these include: sopranos Jamie Groote and Midori Marsh as Léa and Ivy; tenor Owen McCausland as the carnival worker Emile; and soprano Charlotte Siegel in the role of Léa’s mother Manon. Set design and costumes from Camellia Koo\, executed by Design Co-ordinator Jung-Hye Kim\, and lighting by Mikael Kangas infuse the atmosphere with whimsy\, nostalgia\, and mystery in this haunting\, contemporary ghost story.
