In this opera-within-an-opera, madcap backstage melodrama is just a precursor to onstage expressions of love, loss and spiritual transformation. Sir Andrew Davis makes his COC debut, conducting Strauss's sublimely beautiful score. Neil Armfield directs a stellar cast, including Adrianne Pieczonka, Richard Margison and – making their COC debuts – Jane Archibald and Alice Coote.

On Stage April 30 to May 29, 2011

At the Four Seasons Centre, 145 Queen St. W., Toronto. Performance time is approximately two hours, 25 minutes with one intermission. Sung in German with English SURTITLES™.
