The Canadian Opera Company brings Louisa Muller's critically lauded production of Benjamin Britten and Myfanwy Piper's gripping operatic Victorian ghost story, The Turn of the Screw, to Toronto. Based on Henry James' 1898 novella, Britten and librettist Piper craft a seductive and psychologically compelling tale, marrying the score and story together expertly into what is now considered one of the finest English operas, unsettling audiences all over the world since its 1954 premiere.

The Canadian Opera Company stages Gaetano Donizetti and Felice Romani's brilliant comic melodrama The Elixir of Love! The opera first premiered in 1832 and has since become one of the world's most-performed operas, beloved for its charm and sense of fun. Led by director James Robinson and conductor Lorenzo Passerini, The Elixir of Love is seen as a fantastic entry-point for those who are new to opera, as well as a much revered classic for the seasoned aficionado.

Richard Strauss' hilarious opera-within-an-opera arrives at the Canadian Opera Company, in a brand new staging masterminded by director Paul Curran! Ariadne auf Naxos is a self-aware story, about a highly serious opera that somehow accidentally ends up as chaotic comedy featuring a troupe of clowns. A delightful de-construction of opera as an artform and the ever-raging battle between "high art" and "low art" for a place in the public consciousness, Johannes Debus conducts the Canadian Opera Company Orchestra through Strauss' magnificent music.
