Production details

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!

    Opera Going Toronto
