Description
A double bill of two short operas adapted into current day Toronto, set with new librettos that comments on how our smartphones play into our romantic relationships. In Andrew and Andrea a conflict at a wedding reception is set off by a sext sent to the wrong person! The lovers learn the importance of face to face honest communication and putting down the phone once in a while. In Mavra, a lover is discovered because of an undelivered text, lost to the ethers of the universe, bound to have the father and lover come face to face!

Press & Reviews
“This really was a very clever reworking for the modern age that certainly resonated with me (smartphone addict!).”
Operaramblings“...an ingenious double bill brimming with satire...”
Opera Going Toronto“Overall it was a great night out. Hats off to Loose TEA Music Theatre for bringing opera to new audiences.”
Mooney On Theatre“…artistic director/librettist Alaina Viau cleverly repurposes the past, rooting out the ironic disconnect of failed communication and floundering relationships in today’s wireless world.”
Opera Going Toronto“Loose Tea Music Theatre…has already earned itself a reputation for unique, resourceful, intelligent stage presentations. Love in the Age of AutoCorrect can only bring more tributes.”
