While the rest of Toronto was preparing for that odd ornithological event the Superb Owl, or possibly attending the opening of the COC’s Un ballo in maschera, I went to see a semi-staged version of Rameau’s Hippolyte et Aricie at Voicebox: Opera in Concert.  Perhaps surprisingly it was very well attended with a particularly strong showing from the bloggerati.  You will have to wait for the next Opera Canada to read my review but Leslie Barcza’s may be found here.
