Jane Archibald as Semele...click to enlarge
Here are selected images from the Canadian Opera Company’s production of Semele, currently on, and well worth seeing, at the Four Seasons Centre here in Toronto.
The set is gorgeous, the costumes beautiful, and performances wonderful. Jane Archibald will send chills up and down your spine. And there are more than a few “oooohhhhh” moments throughout. It runs until May 26th.
This is the last performance of the season. From a shooting perspective, it’s certainly been a stretch, a challenge, a terrific opportunity, and a hard act to follow. Now it’s show season for me, as I prepare for the Riverdale Art Walk in June, and other shows to follow over the summer months.
That must have been a dream to photograph – so visually striking. There’s a lot of good ones there! I loved the opera and I hope people will be open to it.
