Last week I caught Opera Revue’s last Toronto show of the year at Granite Brewery. The usual gang; Danie Friesen, Alexander Hajek and Claire Elise-Harris, were joined by tenor Ryan Downey for, what else, a holiday themed show. There was a mix of secular and sacred Christmas music plus a few parodies. And the Grinch put in an appearance. So a pretty typical OR show and, as always, a welcome opportunity to hear some music performed well in an informal setting, beer in hand.
