  • Superstar Soprano Measha Brueggergosman Makes Triumphant Return to the Canadian Opera Stage in Opera Atelier’S Award-Winning Production of Mozart’S –Idomeneo–
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 26, 2019 Superstar Soprano Measha Brueggergosman Makes Triumphant Return to the Canadian Opera Stage in Opera Atelier’s Award-Winning Production of Mozart’s –Idomeneo– Lauded Company Makes Ed Mirvish Theatre Debut with Sumptuous Sound, Breathtaking Ballet, and Lavish Scenery Toronto, ON – Opera Atelier is delighted to present their award-winning production of Mozart’s Idomeneo from April 4–13, 2019 at the Ed Mirvish Theatre starring Canadian soprano superstar Measha Brueggergosman, who returns to the Toronto opera stage after an absence of 10 years, in her internationally acclaimed performance as Elettra. Brueggergosman is joined by a luminary cast featuring some of North America’s finest singers including tenor Colin Ainsworth in the title role, mezzo-soprano Wallis Giunta (Young Singer of the Year, 2018 International Opera Awards) as Idamante, soprano Meghan Lindsay as Ilia, bass-baritone Douglas Williams as Neptune, baritone Olivier Laquerre as Arbace, and baritone Bradley Christensen as the Priest. Brimming with Mozart’s show-stopping arias, deeply emotional ensembles, and spectacular ballet, Idomeneo tells the story of the Greek hero who is forced to choose between the life of his son and a terrible promise he has made to the god of the sea. “Idomeneo demands a unique juxtaposition of an extremely formal dramatic and musical structure coupled with an emotional intensity that foreshadows the Romantic movement,” says Opera Atelier Founding Co-Artistic Director Marshall Pynkoski, who also directs the opera. “In Opera Atelier’s production, every element - superbly rendered music, fully-integrated ballet, and historically-informed design - combine to tell this timeless story with precision and clarity.” “We have restored the ballet that closes Idomeneo,” adds Opera Atelier Co-Artistic Director and Choreographer Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg.

  • Stronger Together
    Stronger Together Ashley Lam Grade Seven, Colonel Irvine School Word Count:1188 Being born at the Peter Lougheed Hospital in Calgary about thirteen years ago, little did I know that the man behind the namesake of the hospital would have such an impact on my life and the lives of fellow Albertans. Honourable Edgar Peter Lougheed once said, "I'm a community person, I think in terms of community before individual. That's the essence of Albertans and to a large extent that's the essence of Canadians as well.” He demonstrated this belief through his contributions to medical research, political actions and views, and his ability to lead the province of Alberta to strength and prosperity. Honorable Edgar Peter Lougheed was born on July 26th, 1928 in Calgary, Alberta and passed away from natural causes in 2012. Grandson to Sir James Alexander Lougheed, an early senator and accomplished businessman, Mr. Lougheed was destined for greatness. While studying at the University of Alberta he received a BA in 1951 and a LLB in 1952. Later earning a MBA from Harvard University. He then practised law in Calgary, until he joined the Mannix corporation, one of Canada’s largest construction business. Quickly moving up to the rank of vice president then director. In 1965 Peter Lougheed was the elected leader of a small political party, the Progressive Conservatives. At the time the Progressive Conservatives did not have a single seat in the legislature. The start of a strong political party in legislature seemed unlikely. That is until Mr. Lougheed led the party to victory in the 1967 election.

  • Toronto Has No History!’
    ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY By Victoria Jane Freeman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto ©Copyright by Victoria Jane Freeman 2010 ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Victoria Jane Freeman Graduate Department of History University of Toronto The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada. Nineteenth and twentieth century historical chroniclers often downplayed the historic presence of the Mississaugas and their Indigenous predecessors by drawing on doctrines of terra nullius , ignoring the significance of the Toronto Purchase, and changing the city’s foundational story from the establishment of York in 1793 to the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. These chroniclers usually assumed that “real Indians” and urban life were inimical. Often their representations implied that local Indigenous peoples had no significant history and thus the region had little or no history before the arrival of Europeans. Alternatively, narratives of ethical settler indigenization positioned the Indigenous past as the uncivilized starting point in a monological European theory of historical development. i i iii In many civic discourses, the city stood in for the nation as a symbol of its future, and national history stood in for the region’s local history. The national replaced ‘the Indigenous’ in an ideological process that peaked between the 1880s and the 1930s.

Eat at home and buy the books. Jack Rabinovitch1 Founded in 1994 by Jack Rabinovitch, the Giller Prize was established to honour Rabinovitch’s late wife, the journalist Doris Giller, who had died from cancer a year earlier.2 Since its inception, the prize has served to recognize excellence in Canadian English-language fiction, including both novels and short stories. Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.
