Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts

Coming in April, Toronto baritone Brett Polegato will be singing the title role in Eugene Onegin - a Russian tragedy scored by Tchaikovsky - at the shiny new Four Seasons Opera House. We're lucky to have him home for the season: Brett is usually stolen away to perform in foreign lands. His charisma, sense of humour and passion for his craft always show in his roles. Listening to him sing as Valentin in last year's 'Faust' was glorious. He's also ridiculously good looking. ;)

From an architectural perspective, the building is gorgeous, and from a musical standpoint, the acoustics are amazing. A really lovely place to see the opera - after three solid hours of Wagner, you'll appreciate the comfy seats!

Have you been to this place? It's STUNNING. The sound is amazing and the ambiance, lovely. Roy Thompson Hall will never feel the same having experienced the Four Seasons centre...definitely one of Toronto's architectural highlights.

OPERA FINALLY HAS A HOME TO THE DELIGHT OF THE AUDIENCE AND PERFORMERS

The foyer of the new(ish) opera house is modern without any hint of coldness. Spacious, bright and beautiful, the multi-level open space is incredible for people-watching and city viewing between acts.
