VOICEBOX: Opera in Concert Presents THE STRESSED-OUT IMPRESARIO, 10/6

VOICEBOX: Opera in Concert Presents THE STRESSED-OUT IMPRESARIO: Singers vie for pre-eminence and the audience gets to cast a vote! Sunday October 6, 2013, 2:30 p.m at St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, Jane Mallett Theatre.

THE STRESSED-OUT IMPRESARIO is an exciting twist on Mozart's famed one-act satire, THE IMPRESARIO. Drawing on other works and featuring an exciting new libretto by General Director, Mr. Guillermo Silva-Marin, this show promises to leave everyone laughing and utterly relaxed. Everyone but the Impresario himself, that is!

VOICEBOX is excited to open its season with a unique first offering featuring a

strong cast including sopranos Leigh-Ann Allen, Vania Chan and Tessa Laengert,

mezzo-soprano Christina Campsall, baritone Domenico Sanfilippo, and tenor

Keenan Viau.

Under the accomplished hand of Music Director Ms. Raisa Nakhmanovich and

accompanied by the unparalleled sounds of the VOICEBOX: Opera in Concert

Chorus directed by the incomparable Robert Cooper, we're sure your ears will

be singing with pleasure!

On Wednesday September 11, 2013 the Opera in Concert Chorus had its first meeting of

the season. All were dressed to look their best for the festive occasion, celebrating

with a toast. It wasn't all fun and games, however, as Chorus Director Robert Cooper

and the OICC were busy rehearsing in preparation for the upcoming season!

MEET OUR NEW ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT, ALISON WOOD

It is with great pleasure that we introduce to you our new Administrative Assistant, ALISON WOOD. Ms. Wood will replace former assistant RYAN KAMSTRA in his duties for the TORONTO OPERETTA THEATRE and VOICEBOX. We will miss Ryan and wish him the very best in his future endeavours. The companies look forward, however, to having Alison board, as she comes with high credentials in the administrative field. Her education is impressive, coming from the University of Toronto, where she recently completed a Master's Degree in European, Russian and Eurasian Studies. Alison is a keen opera fan and loves the full diversity of the musical arts. She considers herself a lifelong learner and also has a passion for history, politics, philosophy, urban affairs, maps, animals, fitness, and various sports. She is looking forward to her new role here at the TOT/OIC and hopes to meet some of you fellow lyric theatre lovers soon!
