SUMMARY:La Traviata
DESCRIPTION:The COC opens its 2026/2027 season with the return of Arin Arbus’ lush production of La Traviata. In Verdi’s beloved romantic tragedy\, Violetta is a celebrated courtesan who finds love with sweet Alfredo—but she is forced to choose between her own happiness or Alfredo’s reputation. This sumptuous production is set in the demi-monde of glittering 1850s Paris\, evoking the social realities\, rhythms\, and debauchery of a rapidly changing society. \nMaking a series of COC debuts are: sopranos Kathryn Lewek and Lucia Cesaroni sharing the role of Violetta\, tenor Luke Norvell as Alfredo\, and baritone Reginald Smith\, Jr. as Giorgio. The roles of Alfredo and Giorgio will be shared by returning tenor Long Long and baritone Russell Braun.

SUMMARY:First Date: A Musical Comedy
DESCRIPTION:Their date is falling apart. Your night is just getting started! \nEveryone has a first-date story. This one has songs. First Date is a laugh-out-loud musical comedy about modern dating and a very awkward night out. When a nervous first-timer meets a confident serial dater\, a simple drink turns into a spiral of overthinking\, bad instincts\, and inner voices saying exactly the wrong thing! \nFunny\, fast-paced\, and painfully relatable\, First Date proves that sometimes the hardest part of finding love is simply surviving the first date.

SUMMARY:Wine in the Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:He tried to paint her. She transformed the canvas.\nHarlem\, 1964. As riots unfold outside\, painter Bill Jameson is inside his apartment putting the final touches on a portrait series about Black womanhood. When Tommy is brought in to model\, her presence begins to reveal the quiet hierarchies shaping the evening. As drinks are poured and conversation loosens\, the group is forced to reckon with how easy it is to repeat the very judgments they hope to rise above. \nBy turns funny\, intimate\, and piercingly intelligent\, Wine in the Wilderness is a landmark work. Directed by Jordan Laffrenier\, whose searing production of Slave Play was a highlight of last season\, this revival brings fresh urgency and emotional precision to Alice Childress’ razor-sharp portrait of seeing and being seen.

SUMMARY:The Nature Cure: paintings by Elizabeth Lennie\, Sept 24 - Oct 8
DESCRIPTION:“We were all so young. We were still our best selves.” Ann Patchett\, The Dutch House I noted this many years ago as I was working on an early collection of lake paintings. When my daughters were young they spent many summers at Camp Wabikon on Lake Temagami in the heart of Ontario’s wilderness. They would come home refreshed and recovered from the stress of the school year\, full of stories and adventures and a slew of new friends after their time in the forest and on the lake. I call it The Nature Cure. I believe they grew into a renewed understanding of themselves and their place amongst the interconnectedness of all living things while they were living in a cabin\, swimming in the early morning water and canoe-tripping the lake. Those images and the feelings of that time have been the engine of my practice as a way to keep the idea of the summer alive in my imagination.

SUMMARY:Wellbeing Walks: River Resonances by Treva Legassie
DESCRIPTION:​Join us for the Autumn edition of our ‘Wellbeing Walks’ series where each season we invite an artist to create an engaging experience that explores the interconnectedness of the wellbeing of self with the wellbeing of the natural world. \n​River Resonances by Treva Legassie is a soundwalk that will invite participants to collectively and individually attune to the acoustic environment of Biidaasige Park. Participants will be gifted a series of listening scores on postcards\, composed for the Lassonde Art Trail\, that together illustrate the meandering trajectory of the newly constructed river mouth flowing through the park. Paying attention through other sensory registers\, apart from the visual\, we will tend to the many layers of the river’s history from marshy wetland to industrial wasteland to the revitalized park of our present moment. After the walk\, participants will be invited to mail their postcards to someone they love walking with\, seeding new encounters with soundwalking and flowing like water outward from our collective experience at Biidaasige Park. \n​Treva Legassie is a crossdisciplinary artist-curator-scholar born and based in Tkarón:to (Toronto)\, Treaty 13 territory. Working within complex ecologies\, including urban waterways\, marshes\, and public parks\, she composes site-specific artworks\, soundscape compositions and exhibitions that transform the way audiences move and gather in public space. She has led soundwalks and presented soundscape compositions nationally and internationally and is currently a SSHRC-funded Postdoctoral Fellow with the Sonic Research Studio at Simon Fraser University.
