ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Toronto’s Opera Atelier is a world leader in the rediscovery and revitalization of period opera and ballet, particularly works from the Baroque era. Angel is a multi-disciplinary storytelling event that explores themes of creation, loss of innocence, isolation, and redemption through the texts of John Milton’s Paradise Lost and the mystic poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke. Directed by Marcel Canzona, this bold and stunning production, filmed in the grand ballroom of Toronto’s St Lawrence Hall, features new music for baroque instruments by Canadian composer Edwin Huizinga with Christopher Bagan – created over the past four years and featured in performances in Toronto, Chicago, and Versailles – with additional music from William Boyce, Matthew Locke, and Max Richter performed by members of Tafelmusik. Stage direction by Marshall Pynkoski and choreography by Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg. The screening will be immediately followed by a live online Q&A session with members of the production’s creative team. Presented by Opera Atelier and Cecilia Concerts.
