SUMMARY:Canadian Opera Company | Don Pasquale
DESCRIPTION:Gaetano Donizetti’s Don Pasquale returns to the COC for the first time in 30 years in a Technicolor production by Renaud Doucet and André Barbe. The French-Canadian creative team make their company debut with a lighthearted family feud: the aging Pasquale refuses to let his love-struck nephew Ernesto get married only to unwittingly choose his nephew’s beloved Norina as his own bride-to-be. The comic bel canto opera features COC favourites soprano Simone Osborne and tenor Santiago Ballerini as the young lovers\, and Georgian baritone Misha Kiria making his company debut in the title role.

SUMMARY:Tafelmusik | Transformations: Bach & Rameau
DESCRIPTION:Known for his “mesmerizing” (Ludwig van Toronto) performances\, Kristian Bezuidenhout returns as harpsichordist and guest director for a program curated especially for Tafelmusik. \nTransformations draws on music that has morphed from one form to another by way of transcriptions\, reworkings\, and arrangements. \nPosthumous orchestral arrangements of several of Rameau’s pieces for solo harpsichord are an homage by an anonymous admirer of Rameau\, inspired by others that Rameau himself had arranged for his operas. Handel did the reverse in his Trio Sonata in G Major\, adapting movements from no fewer than five operatic precursors to create a sonata for two violins and continuo. We in turn transform the sonata into a suite for orchestra\, retaining the selection of movements\, but reverting to Handel’s original orchestrations. \nThe theatre is the ultimate palace of transfiguration\, and the magic of the London theatres inspired Purcell’s Ayres for the Theatre. \nNo exploration of baroque transformations would be complete without J.S. Bach\, the ultimate musical alchemist. Bach transcribed his own A-Minor Violin Concerto for a different instrument in a new key\, culminating in the thrilling Harpsichord Concerto in G Minor. Bezuidenhout\, whose playing is nothing less than “beguiling” (Gramophone)\, champions this dazzling work. \nDirected by Kristian Bezuidenhout\, harpsichord
