Opera Atelier Announces ‘All is Love’

By Francisco Salazar

Opera Atelier  has announced the return of “All is Love.”

The production is a fully staged mixed program celebrating love in all its splendor at Koerner Hall and is set to be performed from April 11 to April 14, 2024.

“All is Love” features music by J.P. Rameau, M.A. Charpentier, and Renaldo Hahn in addition to excerpts by Henry Purcell, Matthew Locke, and G.F. Händel.

In a statement, Marshall Pynkoski, Founding Co-Artistic Director said, “In February 2022, Opera Atelier was one of the first Toronto theatre companies out of the gate, following the lifting of COVID restrictions, with its fully staged production of ALL IS LOVE in Koerner Hall. Ironically, the one night only performance coincided with the Freedom Convoy truckers’ takeover of the city, which resulted in a complete shutdown of access to Koerner Hall and surrounding areas, coupled with an unprecedented winter storm. Nevertheless, the stunning mixed program played to a wildly enthusiastic audience of 250 intrepid theatregoers, and I was determined at that time that ALL IS LOVE would return to the stage as soon as possible.”

“All is Love”  is set to be directed by Marshall Pynkoski C.M. and will feature dancer Eric César De Mello Da Silva. It will also include soprano Measha Brueggergosman-Lee, tenor Colin Ainsworth, soprano Karine White, soprano Meghan Lindsay, mezzo-soprano Danielle MacMillan, soprano Cynthia Smithers, bass-baritone Douglas Williams, and baritone Jesse Blumberg.
