  • 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.

Nowak), Thursday, April 19, 2018, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, April 21 at 8:00 p.m.; and Tuesday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m. German conductor Christoph Eschenbach began his career as a pianist, making his New York Philharmonic debut as piano soloist in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 in 1974. Both Christoph Eschenbach and Till Fellner won the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition, in 1965 and 1993, respectively. Mr. Fellner subsequently recorded Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22 on the Claves label in collaboration with the Clara Haskil Competition. The New York Times wrote of Mr. Eschenbach’s conducting Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 with the New York Philharmonic in 2008: “Mr. Eschenbach, a compelling Bruckner interpreter, brought a sense of structure and proportion to the music without diminishing the qualities of humility and awe that make it so gripping. … the orchestra responded with playing of striking power and commitment.” Artists Christoph Eschenbach is in demand as a distinguished guest conductor with the finest orchestras and opera houses throughout the world, including those in Vienna, Berlin, Paris, London, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Milan, Rome, Munich, Dresden, Leipzig, Madrid, Tokyo, and Shanghai.
