\u201cStella-a-a-a-a-!\u201d If you haven\u2019t seen the ballet production of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire<\/em>, it\u2019s a must. This revival production was created in 1983 by John Neumeier, Director and Chief Choreographer of The Hamburg Ballet. Time-tested, we\u2019d argue this is the definitive version. |\u00a0Details<\/a><\/p>\n

Opera lovers will know Canadian tenor Andrew Haji as a go-to voice from operatic and concert stages around the globe. With many opera venues yet to re-open, this is an excellent opportunity to see this talent in a more intimate setting. He\u2019ll be singing songs by Franz Liszt, Britten, and Francesco Santoliquido. Pianist St\u00e9phane Mayer accompanies. Note that the Music in the Afternoon series has moved to Grace Church on-the-Hill this season. | Details<\/a><\/p>\n

Missing seeing The Princess Bride<\/em> on the big screen with a live orchestra at Roy Thomson Hall is inconceivable. If you\u2019ve never seen it, or if you were just too darn young to remember it properly, this is the chance to see it exactly as it was meant to be seen \u2014 on a big screen, in glorious Technicolor, and with the incredible sounds of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. | Details<\/a><\/p>\n

Sinfonia Toronto | Chopin & Dvorak<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pack your bags for a trip through time, as Sinfonia Toronto travels to three very different countries. From Chopin\u2019s Poland to Vania Angelova\u2019s Bulgaria and Dvorak\u2019s American West, hear how composers from far away places found homes in other lands. |\u00a0Details<\/a><\/p>\n
