Some organisations hold off on their season announcements later than others! Two came in today.
Tapestry Opera announced a season that includes:
- A remount of Rocking Horse Winner at Crow’s Theatre from November 1st to 12th 2023.
- Songbook XIII at the Redwood Theatre on March 28th 2024. It’s a lovely, restored theatre with a really good beer selection. There will be music too. Keith Klassen and Naomi Woo headline.
- Juliane Gallant hosts Le Kitchen Party; a celebration of Acadian music and culture and, it says, food. That’s me in then. It’s on May 21st 2024 ant TBD.
- And the following night Jenn Tung hosts Iron Chef d’Orchestre also at TBD. Also involves food. I scents a theme here.
Here are a few shows that didn’t make it into earlier listing posts:
There are a few adds for September. This Saturday (16th) you can catch Rachel Krehm in recital with Janelle Fung. That’s at 3pm. Details 
The new season starts to ramp up in September. My month will start at Factory Theatre on the 7th with Mary Beath Badian’s The Waltz; a coming of age drama set in Saskatchewan. That runs until the 17th. The following night there’s a screening at the Four Seasons Centre of Atom Egoyan’s new film Seven Veils that was created in conjunction with last season’s production of Salome. A young woman is tasked with remounting her former mentor’s production of Salome. It stars Amanda Seyfried, Ambur Braid, Michael Schade and Michael Kupfer-Radecky. It’s a chance to see the film ahead of the official premier at TIFF. More details and tickets 
August is looking less dead than it did a few days ago. Here’s a selection of what’s on. There’s a site specific production of Tennessee William’s Suddenly Last Summer at Sorry Studios. That’s presented by Riot King and runs August 9th to 13th. Hyejin Kwon has a DMA recital at Walter Hall on the 5th at 7.30pm with some interesting singers presenting various songs to texts by Goethe in a staged performance directed by Anna Theodosakis. (Free).
VOICEBOX:Opera in Concert announced their 2023/24 season. It’s quite interesting; three Verdi rarities:
Soundstreams has announced the line up for the 2023/24 season. First up, and very exciting, is The Bright Divide, which will play Nov 10th and 11th at the TD Music Hall (the new performance space at Massey Hall). It’s a staged show, directed by Tim Albery and featuring two works inspired by the work of Mark Rothko. There’s Morton Feldman’s Rothko Chapel for viola, timpani and choir and a new work by Cecilia Livingston; mark for viola and voice.
So what’s coming up in July? Let’s look first at a few late June shows I haven’t mentioned before.
