So the latest Toronto organisation to announce a return to “live” is Toronto Operetta Theatre.  There are three shows:

• Oscar Straus’ A Waltz Dream will play December 29th, and 31st and January 2nd and 4th.  The cast includes Andrea Nuñez, Scott Rumble, Elizabeth Beeler, Keith Klassen and Greg Finney.  Derek Bates conducts.
• Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld will be presented on February 16th, 18th, 19th and 20th.  The cast includes Vania Chan, Tonatiuh Abrego, Ryan Downey and Rosalind McArthur with Derek Bates again conducting.
• Finally, there’ll be the premiere of Michael Rose’s musical, A Northern Lights Dream.  This will play May 5th, 6th and 7th with Natalya Gennadi, Karen Bojti, Ian Backstrom, Daniela Agostino and Stephanie O’Leary.in the cast.  Suzy Smith conducts.

All three shows will play at the St. Lawrence Centre.  At time of writing two shows in each run will be restricted to 50% capacity though I imagine that could change before May.
