Opera Canada

NOTEBOOK

Save the date: November 6, 2023. We will host our annual Rubies Gala honouring five well-deserving (soon-to-be announced) Canadian contributors to opera at Toronto’s Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts—it is sure to be a magical evening.

With summer in full swing, the-inspired silver screen release. Canadian baritone Étienne Dupuis and Australian soprano Nicole Car discuss their new Artistic Directorship at the Canadian Vocal Arts Institute. Ottawa-born Bryan Wagorn, collaborator to the stars and Assistant Conductor at The Metropolitan Opera, shares his journey with us. We dig deep into a music streaming platform dedicated to classical music and creating community engagement. Furthermore we celebrate the important contributions Canadian director Michael Albano has made during his time at the University of Toronto—a true influencer. And with many voice students contemplating their future studies, we dive into how to choose the right teacher.
