The Glenn Gould School’s spring opera will be a double bill of two very different but equally entertaining one-act operas— starting with Ravel’s comédie musicale L’heure Espagnole, where I will be playing Ramiro, followed by Puccini’s heart-wrenching drama Suor Angelica (sung by my fabulous colleague Marta Woolner). Tickets can be found at the link below.

Unfortunately, this recital is not open to the public, but I am thrilled to be performing for the members of the Arts & Letters Club at their afternoon recital series. I have performed with them before at a fellow Conservatory singer’s recital a few years back and they are gracious hosts and wonderful supporters of the arts and young artists in Toronto.

My first performance with The Glenn Gould School as an Artist Diploma Student will be as Jonathan in Jonathan Dove’s opera Siren Song. A sordid and somewhat salacious tale of love and deceit— this modern opera tells the story of a young sailor in love with a woman he has never met and follows him as he falls deeper into a fantasy he has yet to confirm. This work is the perfect mix of contemporary opera’s complex and intricate details with it’s ability to tell very accessible and intriguing stories.

Tickets can be found at the link below, performances November 1 and 2.
