It is our 15th Season!

Where has the time gone? It is unbelievable to us that here we are already entering our 15th season. We can still remember the first season as we worked hard to establish ourselves and provide opportunities to the deserving local vocal talent.

So it is the 2013-14 season, and TrypTych has a wonderful program planned that includes the Canadian "staging" premiere of Verdi's first opera Oberto all the way to a musical celebration of Frank Sinatra in Ol' Blue Eyes.

.....and our plans for upcoming years are looking very exciting with productions of new Canadian and American works on the agenda.

Our hard work on refurbishing the West Hall Theatre continues so as to provide the best intimate and acoustically excellent venue for our audiences as well as a wonderful rehearsal space.

OBERTO IS A HIT!

CLICK HERE FOR PHOTOS OF THE PRODUCTION!

 

Toronto's TrypTych Concert and Opera will be presenting the Canadian premiere of a staged production of Verdi's first opera, Oberto, Conte di San Bonafacio on November 16th and 17th at The West Hall Theatre, Trinity Presbyterian Church, 2737 Bayview Ave (south of the 401).

Oberto stars an all-Canadian cast with Henry Irwin as Oberto, Lenard Whiting as Riccardo, Natalie Donnelly as Leonora, Michele Bogdanowicz as Cuniza and Jennifer Routhier as Imelda. This evocative and stimulating production is directed and designed by Edward Franko with musical direction at the piano by Canadian Opera Company Ensemble alumnae Timothy Cheung.

Joining the cast in this dramatic story of jealousy, revenge and betrayal is an augmented Ensemble TrypTych Chamber Choir. This 174th anniversary production to the day of its first premiere on November 17th, 1839 promises to be one of the more unique and exciting productions on the Toronto operatic calendar in 2013.

Please come join us for our contribution to the international Verdi 200 celebration in honour of the 200th anniversary of Verdi's birth. Giuseppe Verdi, the great master of the operatic form, hits his musical and dramatic stride in full force with this impressive debut in Oberto.

All of this in the comfortably intimate and fine acoustic of the newly refurbished and fully accessible West Hall Theatre. If you love your opera up close and personal, this is the production for you!

Oberto will be sung in Italian with projected translations in English! TrypTych Concert and Opera gratefully acknowledges the Ontario Arts Council for their financial support of this project.

West Coast jazz recording artist Melinda Whitaker debuts her new album at Toronto's WEST HALL THEATRE on Saturday, October 5th with the acclaimed Dave Restivo Quintet.

In 2012, Whitaker collaborated with Multi Juno Award Winner Phil DWYER to produce Lucky So-And-So! Now, with this new recording, Melinda Whitaker has moved into the Pantheon of jazz vocalists, a master at the top of her craft.

"Whitaker is a singular talent with an exquisite sense of time and tone and a deep knowledge of the jazz tradition. Her music swings transcendently, creating art from life’s magnificent struggle." Joseph Blake, Jazz Critic

"Whitaker, supported by an A-list of west coast players, delivers the real thing with her signature dark, husky voice that seems made for jazz." Island Jazz Review.
