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:Kamiphony | Cybèle Young
DESCRIPTION:Koffler Arts welcomes Governor General’s Award winning artist Cybèle Young to the Koffler Gallery for the international debut of her exhibition\, Kamiphony \, curated by Zoë Foster. \nAt the centre of the exhibition is a pantheon of kinetic paper machines. Over time\, each sculptural object performs a small\, repetitive action. Lighting and sound amplification accompany their movements\, creating a shifting tableau of motion\, dancing shadows\, and sound. \nThese kinetic sculptures are situated within a long tradition that has championed uselessness. From Aristotle to Baroque automata\, from Bruno Munari to Jean Tinguely’s anarchic sculptures\, philosophers and artists have repeatedly returned to this idea. By engaging with these historical debates\, Young invites viewers to consider our present-day predicament. The sculptures’ refusal to be efficient mirrors a contemporary moment in which we are re-examining the value of work as a result of COVID-19. \nFor Young\, this project is also deeply personal. She began creating the work in response to her experience of menopause\, during which her body felt as though it was “breaking down.” This experience inspired her to explore the space between what no longer works and something new that has yet to take form. \nThe machines’ repetitive movements foreshadow that something will – over time – emerge. Their persistence draws viewers into a public ritual where repetition itself becomes a form of meaning-making. In conceiving this work\, Young was also influenced by her great-uncle\, the composer Colin McPhee\, who\, while encountering ritual traditions in Bali\, observed that usefulness is not measured by output or progress but by duration and presence. \nAs visitors move through the exhibition\, the sculptural machines become a mischievous orchestra. They invite us to reimagine our world together and question its parts. \n– \nCybèle Young is a Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist and author. Her decades-long collaboration with Japanese paper anchors a practice concerned with transformation\, ritual\, and shifting perspective – from intricate paper miniatures to kinetic installations. Drawing from Dada\, Fluxus\, and the anthropology of play\, she builds poetic structures that unsettle the familiar. \nSince graduating from the Ontario College of Art & Design in 1995\, Young has presented more than twenty solo exhibitions and over thirty group exhibitions across Canada and internationally\, including New York\, Los Angeles\, London\, Oslo\, Singapore\, Beijing\, and Tokyo. Her work is held in numerous public and private collections\, including the Canada Council Art Bank\, Global Affairs Canada\, BMO Financial Group\, OMERS\, and Ernst & Young. She has received more than thirty grants and awards\, including the Governor General’s Literary Award and a Canada Council residency in Paris\, and is represented by Forum Gallery in New York and Los Angeles. \nHer practice continues to evolve through interdisciplinary projects\, bringing together sculpture\, movement\, sound\, film\, and participation. Kamiphony marks a significant new chapter in this ongoing exploration.
