“. . . one of the COC’s finest achievements. Michael Levine’s sets,
Robert Thomson’s lighting and Laurie-Shawn Borzovoy’s multimedia
effects are . . . little short of miraculous.” Peter Dyson, Opera
Der fliegende Holländer
(Info / Plans / Photos)
“The
production remains one of the most visually striking of the Canadian
Opera Company’s modernist enterprises…” William Littler, Toronto Star
The Golden Ass
(Info / Photos)
“[Colin] Graham's staging was full of energy. . . . Susan Benson's
set . . . provided a clear, strong framework for the action, which was
full of Mediterranean colour . . . reserving brighter tints for such
characters as the story-teller Festus and sorceress Pamphilea, whose
transformation into a giant owl was a moment of real stage magic." John
Allison, Opera
Jenůfa
(Info / Plans / Photos)
“
. . . an unforgettable production of Jenufa that rivalled the best from
the COC, or indeed anywhere. The unit set . . . is visually striking.
Coupled with the adept use of lighting and projections, the atmosphere
was at once suffocating and oppressive. . . . ” Joseph K. So, Opera
Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk
(Info / Plans / Photos)
"Katerina's
captivity was represented visually by the elevated, box-like bedroom
and bathroom that designer Kevin Knight gave her to prowl about in,
like an operatic cat on a hot tin roof. There was no daylight in David
Martin Jacques's lighting design, which leaned toward the stark
contrasts of expressionism and film noir." Robert Everett-Green, Globe and Mail
Lulu
(Info / Photos)
“The
stage, in Derek McLane’s thrilling designs, was dominated by a high
wall with seven doors running diagonally across the stage.” Urjo
Kareda, Opera News
Madama Butterfly
(Info / Plans / Photos)
“
. . . designer Susan Benson and director Brian Macdonald have
discovered in the Japanese esthetic of economy and simplicity the
perfect frame for Puccini’s opera.” William Littler, Toronto Star
Oedipus Rex with Symphony of Psalms
(Info / Plans / Photos)
“The
powerful and moving images in this spectacular production by the
Canadian Opera Company will remain emblazoned on the memory for some
time to come. . . . Michael Levine’s set and costumes and Alain
Lortie’s lighting are truly inspirational.” Susan Nickalls,
Edinburgh Evening News
Salome
(Info / Plans / Photos)
"The
brilliant modern-day interpretation, which uses film to enhance the
dark psychological subtext of the piece, makes for compelling theatre.
Derek McLane’s set is a world tilted off-centre. . . . ” Paula Citron,
Classical 96FM (Toronto)
Tosca
(Info / Photos)
“Designer
Kevin Knight’s set, which recreates the San’Andrea della Valle church
in Rome, is majestic, and his Empire-style costumes are gorgeous.”
Christopher Hoile, Eye Weekly
