Two of Canada’s most important voices in opera will stand side-by-side to receive honorary degrees from the University of Toronto.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The University of Toronto has quietly announced<\/a>\u00a0two of Canada\u2019s most important voices in Opera will be receiving dual honorary degrees on Wednesday, Nov. 8.<\/p>\n

The dual honour marks a deep connection between Mary Morrison and Barbara Hannigan, who have both shared a relationship as student and teacher.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started studying with Mary when I moved to Toronto, which was the year before I came to U of T. I had come here to the Etobicoke School of the Arts for my last year of high school, and Mary took me on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hannigan recalled Mary telling her before her U of T audition at the age of 17 that she should not be disappointed if she didn’t get in because she is so young.<\/p>\n
