Here is what’s on the radar so far.:

Music

• March 3rd at noon in the RBA the UofT Faculty of Music: France-Canada Academy of Vocal Arts have their annual collaborative recital.
• On the 18th there are two opportunities to see opera.  At noon in the RBA there’s the 25th anniversary performance of Dean Burry’s The Brothers Grimm which is almost certainly the most performed Canadian opera of all time.  It hit 500 performances in December 2012 so who knows what the count is now?  In the evening GGS Opera present a double bill of Rossini’s La cambiale di matrimonio and Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi in Koerner Hall.  There’s a second performance on the 20th.
• On the 20th at Trinity St.Paul’s members of Schola Cantorum, the Theatre of Early Music and Tafelmusik are performing Handel’s Theodora; arguably his greatest oratorio.  Soloists include Owen McCausland and Alexander Dobson.
• I don’t usually mention the MetHD cinema broadcasts but there’s a rather special one on the 21st.  Lise Davidsen is singing in a Tristan und Isolde directed by Yuval Sharon.
• Also on the afternoon of the 21st at Trinity Saint Paul’s Opera in Concert are presenting Weill’s Lost in the Stars in a semi-staged version with chamber ensemble rather than piano.
• On the evening of the 21st Soundstreams have a concert at the Jane Mallett Theatre featuring Quatuor Bozzini.
• On March 26th the Ensemble Studio have a Lieder recital at noon in the RBA.
• March 26th to 29th Tapestry Opera are offering a staged version of Anna Sokolović’s Love Songs.

Theatre

• Mohsin Zaidi’s The Surrogate opens at Crow’s on March 4th.  Previews are February 24th to March 3rd and the run continues to March 22nd.
• Jill Connell’s The Herald promises us that by the end we will know “how to be in Shoppers Drug Mart, wondering how to handle time”.  It runs at Buddies in Bad Times with a preview on March 4th and the run from the 5th to the 14th.
• March 6th and 7th Sex T-Rex are presenting their cinema inspired comedy show Crime After Crime (After Crime) at the Theatre Centre.
