ARMIDE
Armide will star soprano Peggy Kriha Dye in the title role, tenor Colin Ainsworth as the Christian knight Renaud, and bass Joao Fernandes as Hidraot, with the full corps of Artists of Atelier Ballet.
The Muslim and Christian worlds collide in Lully's Armide - the supreme operatic masterpiece of the 17th century. The invincible Christian knight Renaud and the Muslim warrior princess Armide play out their doomed love affair against a backdrop of hopeless obsession, jealousy and magic.
For the first time in the company's history, Opera Atelier will embark on an important co-production with The Glimmerglass Festival. OA's enthralling production of Jean-Baptiste Lully's Armide will first be produced in Toronto prior to making its debut at North America's most prestigious opera festival.
Armide will star soprano Peggy Kriha Dye in the title role, tenor Colin Ainsworth as the Christian knight Renaud, and bass Joao Fernandes as Hidraot, with the full corps of Artists of Atelier Ballet. Opera Atelier's Music Director David Fallis conducts the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and Chamber Choir.
