Hadrian by the Canadian Opera Company

October 2018

World Premiere of new opera by Rufus Wainwright

Directed by Peter Hinton

Libretto by Daniel McIvor

Set Design by Michael Gianfrancesco

Lighting Design by Bonnie Beecher

Costumes by Gillian Gallow

Projection Designs by Laurie-Shawn Borzovoy

A combination of Particle Animation, videographic effects and layered projection mapping, allowed us to place each Act within a living visual landscape as the memories of Antinous dissolve as the sands of time form the moon and stars, which then fall to become the ever-changing river Nile. The  fullsome moon becomes blinkered to hide vengence and deceit at the hands of the gods.

The Celebrate 27 Arts Fest Community Cultural Champions project recognizes the significant contribution that cultural champions make in our communities. There are many people in Toronto’s diverse neighbourhoods and in the community arts sector who have given of themselves to enrich their communities through the arts. Twelve local cultural champions were honoured at the launch of the Celebrate 27 Arts Fest on March 31 at Brookfield Place. Through our partnership with the Toronto-based company Joy Apparel, the images of the community cultural champions were artistically rendered on t-shirts and scarves, in recognition of their efforts. A run of these limited edition t-shirts/scarves will be available by donation in April. Revenue from these donations will go back to the organization that selected the local champion to be used for community arts programming.
