The Istituto Italiano di Cultura, in collaboration with The Toronto Consort, presents guest speaker David Fallis and guest performer Bud Roach in a program exploring the complexities and opportunities with presenting 17th Century Venetian Opera in the 21st Century.
On May 12, 13 & 14 The Toronto Consort presents Helen of Troy by Francesco Cavalli. Cross-dressing, disguises, mixups and mashups – it’s all part of the world’s first great comic opera, set to some of Cavalli’s most seductive music. Sung in Italian, this opera in concert performance features Kevin Skelton as Menelaus, Michele DeBoer as Helen, and Laura Pudwell as Hippolyta.
