German food conglomerate Dr. Oetker are promoting their new up-market frozen pizza offering, Suprema, in a unique way. They have commissioned a 15 minute opera called, unsurprisingly, Suprema from the good people at Opera Revue.  It’s a jolly romp about a sculptor (Danie Friesen) whose creation (Alex Hajek) comes to life and gets hooked on pizza.  Accompaniment is by Claire Harris on piano and pre-recorded strings (Drew Jurecka).  It’s short, well executed and fun.

It’s free, you don’t need a ticket and there is rather good free pizza after each show.  It’s playing in the TD Music Hall (i.e upstairs at Massey Hall).  There are three shows this afternoon and a bunch next weekend.  Times and so forth here.
