T.O.S.C.A. at UofT Opera School

Caught you!  You thought the UofT Opera School was performing Puccini's Tosca this week...in fact, they are doing a night of Poulenc: La Voix Humaine & Les Mamelles de Tirésias.  


Check out the details below:


From the melodic pen of Francis Poulenc come two one-act works of stunning theatrical contrast. La Voix Humaine [The Human Voice] portrays the heart wrenching grief of a woman’s final farewell to her lover while Les Mamelles de Tirésias [The Breasts of Tirésias] brilliantly satirizes feminism, fertility drugs and “family values”.
Sandra Horst conductor
Michael Patrick Albano & Erik Thor directors


Thursday, Friday, Saturday | December 1, 2 & 3, 2011 | 7:30 pm
Sunday | December 4, 2011 | 2:30 pm
MacMillan Theatre | $30 ($20*) | FlexiMIX: $24





The TOSCA I mentioned are the ARIA awards that will be presented on Monday, December 5, 2011.
