COC Media Releases

Toronto – The Canadian Opera Company’s new Weekday Rush Subscription package for opera performances at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts will add a touch of adventure for its subscribers in the 2011/2012 season.

COC subscribers who attend the opera on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday will be able to purchase this special subscription package for only $308. This new subscription option will guarantee Weekday Rush subscribers a seat in Ring 5 of the opera house on their chosen performance date, but they will be automatically moved into the best available seats the day of the performance, subject to availability. Weekday Rush subscribers will pick up their tickets at the Four Seasons Centre Box Office the day of the performance and find out where in the Four Seasons Centre they will be seated.

“The Weekday Rush Subscription can certainly add an element of surprise for people when they pick up their tickets,” says COC General Director Alexander Neef. “Our hope is that this new subscription series will give some of our subscribers a fun and affordable way to experiment with seeing an opera from different seats in the opera house.”

The Weekday Rush Subscription package may be purchased online at coc.ca, by calling 416-363-8231, or in person at the Four Seasons Centre Box Office, 145 Queen St. W., Toronto. COC Subscriptions are available on January 19, 2011. Pricing includes HST.
