| 13-Apr-2013 Salle Ludger-Duvernay | A Menotti evening with l'Atelier Lyrique de l'Opéra de Montréal |
 The Atelier Lyrique of the Opéra de Montréal has a long tradition of nurturing incredible vocal talent, such talent which quite often develops into successful international careers in opera. It is, essentially, a young artists program for the most hard-working young singers in the region. Although tonight’s double billing of Gian Carlo Menotti’s The Old Maid and the Thief and Amahl and the Night Visitors wasn’t technically a mainstage production for L’Opéra de Montréal, it certainly deserved equal respect.

| 8-Jun-2012 La Maison Symphonique de Montréal | Philippe Sly Hits the Jackpot in Montreal Voice Competition |
 The Montreal International Musical Competition, this year devoted to voice, ended on a high note with the Winners’ Gala Concert on June 8.

Contemplation of the end of life informed each piece and the contrasting circumstances, responses and outcomes could be heard in the music.

| 22-Jun-2011 Undisclosed location, East London | The Secret Consul at an Undisclosed Location in London |
 The Secret Consul starts with a magic trick. Christopher Whitelock as Nika Magadoff, a Magician, selects one of the audience and performs a disappearing trick with their ring. It is here, however, that fantasy ends and cold hard realism begins. Steve Tiller has made of Gian-Carlo Menotti's The Consul a site-specific, hour-long guerilla opera inside a dilapidated town hall which one is permitted only to refer to as 'An Undisclosed Location'. The experience of being herded around the building is bizarre, but the production is saved from being too rough and ready by its musical achievements.Read full review... | |
