Announcing the Canadian Opera Company's 2012-2013 Season

The feature about Canadian Opera Company's 2012-2013 Season is online now. They're presenting Giuseppe Verdi’s Il Trovatore, Johann Strauss II’s Die Fledermaus in a new COC production, Richard Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito, Gaetano Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor, Richard Strauss’s Salome and Francis Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites.

Enjoy …
